Former Migos rapper Offset has been shot outside a casino in Florida, according to US media reports.

The 34-year-old, whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, is in a “stable” condition and being “closely monitored” in hospital, a spokesperson told Variety.

The Seminole Police Department have told BBC Newsbeat the incident happened on Monday evening and that two people have been detained in connection with the shooting.

BBC Newsbeat has contacted Offset’s representatives for comment.

Police said an incident took place “at a valet area” after 19:00 on Monday, outside of Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood” and “resulted in non-life threatening injuries to an individual”.

The force also said the “investigation is ongoing”.

Offset is best known for being part of the hip-hop trio Migos along with Quavo and Takeoff.

He married US singer and rapper Cardi B in 2017 and the couple have three children.

They later separated and filed for divorce in 2024.

Multi-platinum group Migos first went viral with the song Versace in 2013.

Another hit followed in 2017, Bad and Boujee, which made it to number one on the Billboard Hot 100.

They have been described as one of the most influential groups of their generation.

In early 2022, the trio split with Quavo and Takeoff forming their own duo, Unc & Phew.

Offset pursued a solo career.

Months later in November 2022, Takeoff was shot dead at a bowling alley in Houston, Texas.

His record label paid tribute to the rapper in a statement: “Senseless violence and a stray bullet has taken another life from this world and we are devastated.” (BBC News)
