Offset was shot Monday evening near the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, according to TMZ.

A spokesperson for the former Migos rapper told TMZ that he is “fine” and “is currently at the hospital receiving medical care,” adding that he is “stable and being closely monitored.”

The circumstances surrounding the shooting remain under investigation, but police detained two individuals. Apparently one of those individuals detained was fellow rapper Lil Tjay, who was booked for misdemeanor disorderly conduct stemming from a fight that took place prior to the shooting.

“We are aware of an incident that occurred at a valet area after 7 p.m. Monday outside of Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood that resulted in non-life threatening injuries to an individual who was transported to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood,” a representative for the Seminole County Police said in a statement.

“Seminole Police were on site immediately and the situation was contained quickly. Two individuals have been detained by police. The investigation is ongoing. The site is secure and there is no threat to the public. Operations continue as normal.”

In 2022, Offset’s cousin and Migos bandmate, Takeoff, was fatally shot in Texas.
