Hip-hop star Offset has been discharged from a Florida medical facility following a shooting incident that occurred earlier this week at a casino near Miami, according to his representatives.
The Migos member sustained gunshot wounds Monday evening after an altercation broke out at the Seminole Hard Rock casino in Hollywood, located just north of Miami.
Medical authorities indicated Tuesday that the artist was in stable condition with injuries that were not considered life-threatening, though specific details about his condition remained limited at the time.
“Offset has been released from the hospital and he is up and walking,” a representative for Offset said on Friday. “We’re incredibly grateful to the doctors, nurses, and the entire hospital staff who took such great care of him.”
The artist, whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, posted his own message on social media Friday, stating: “Thank you to everyone who’s checked in on me and showed me love! I’m good….but I’m planning to be better! I’m focused on my family, my recovery, and getting back to the music…realizing that life is made up of quiet wins and loud losses…”
“Life’s a gamble and I’m still playing to win,” he concluded.
Law enforcement officials took two individuals into custody following the incident. Rapper Lil Tjay, whose legal name is Tione Jayden Merritt, was taken into custody for his alleged involvement in the dispute that preceded the shooting, according to the Seminole Police Department. Authorities charged him with disorderly conduct and driving without a valid license.
A second individual was also detained but has not faced charges, while investigators continue working to identify additional people who may have been involved, police stated Tuesday.
Cephus rose to fame as part of Migos, widely regarded as one of hip-hop’s most successful groups. The Atlanta-based trio became known for their distinctive rapid-fire triplet delivery style, which significantly influenced the trap music genre.
The group achieved massive commercial success with multiple platinum-selling tracks, including their chart-topping hit “Bad and Boujee,” which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, along with popular songs “Stir Fry” and “Narcos.” Throughout their career, Migos produced four studio albums.
Tragedy struck the group more than three years ago when Offset’s cousin Takeoff, also a Migos member, was fatally shot at a Houston bowling alley.
Beyond his group work, Offset has established himself as a solo performer known for his distinctive melodic yet aggressive style, releasing three individual albums.
The rapper was previously married to fellow artist Cardi B, with whom he exchanged vows in a private Atlanta ceremony in September 2017. Cardi B filed for divorce in 2024, and the former couple shares three children.
