Atlanta rapper Offset is hospitalized after being shot in South Florida, according to his representative and authorities, in a developing story that is drawing national attention.
The shooting happened Monday evening at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, just outside Miami, police in Seminole, Florida said in a statement to CBS News.
His representative told CBS News that Offset “was shot and is currently at the hospital receiving medical care. He is stable and being closely monitored.”
Seminole police said the shooting happened after 7 p.m. at a valet area outside the hotel and casino and “resulted in non-life threatening injuries to an individual who was transported to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood.
” … Two individuals have been detained by police,” they added. “The investigation is ongoing. The site is secure and there is no threat to the public. Operations continue as normal.”
Atlanta ties amplify concern
Offset, whose real name is Kiari Cephus, rose to fame as a member of the Grammy-nominated hip-hop group Migos, which originated in metro Atlanta.
His connection to the city – and continued influence on its music scene – is prompting concern among fans and artists across Georgia.
The incident also underscores how ties to Atlanta’s music industry continue to intersect with South Florida – a frequent destination for performances, events, and nightlife.
