LOS ANGELES — Offset was shot near the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, following a fight on Monday evening and is currently listed as stable, a spokesperson for the rapper told The Times.

"We can confirm Offset was shot and is currently at the hospital receiving medical care," the spokesperson said in a statement. "He is stable and being closely monitored."

The Seminole Police Department said in a statement that officers responded to an incident in the valet area of the hotel and casino shortly after 7 p.m. One person was transported to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood with non-life-threatening injuries and remained there Tuesday morning.

Police detained two people in connection with the incident Monday, and an investigation is ongoing to identify one or more additional people involved, police said.

The incident began as a fight near the hotel valet, police said. One of the two people detained, Tione Jayden Merritt, 24, has been charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct and was booked into Broward County Jail Monday night, police said. Charges have not been filed against the second person detained as of Tuesday morning.

The scene was secured Monday evening and operations at the Hard Rock are continuing as normal, police said.

The 34-year-old rapper, whose real name is Kiari Cephus, gained prominence as a member of the Atlanta rap trio Migos, which was founded in 2008 and rose to hip-hop fame in 2013 with breakout hit "Versace." The group, whose members included rappers Quavo, Takeoff and Offset, achieved major mainstream stardom in 2016 through "Bad and Boujee," which shot to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The three members grew up together in the Atlanta area. Takeoff was Quavo's nephew, while Offset is a close family friend.

In 2022, the group split up due to differences between Offset and Quavo. In November of that year, Takeoff, whose real name is Kirshnik Khari Ball, was fatally shot outside of a bowling alley in Houston. He was 28 years old.

Patrick Xavier Clark was indicted by a grand jury in the murder of Takeoff in May 2023. He has pleaded not guilty and the case is awaiting trial.

Offset shares three children with hip-hop legend Cardi B, whom he married in 2017. The pair split publicly in late 2023, and Cardi B filed for divorce in 2024.

Since the breakup of Migos, Offset has focused on his solo career, releasing his album "Set It Off" in 2023, which features artists including Travis Scott, Don Toliver, Future and Cardi B. He released his latest album, "Kiari," in August.
