The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, is the place where the alleged shooting took place. According to NBC News, the rapper is in stable condition.

In case you don’t remember, Offset, born Kiari Kendrell, is a prominent American rapper and songwriter. He is best known as one-third of the influential Atlanta-based hip-hop trio Migos, alongside his cousins Quavo and the late Takeoff.
He is no stranger to tragedy. Just a few years ago, one of the band members, Takeoff, was gunned down on November 1, 2022. It was outside of a bowling alley in Houston, Texas.
We later learned that Offset’s death was allegedly due to a dispute over a dice game. With the tragic death of Takeoff, the band dismantled. It is really alarming to hear about Offset being shot.
