Rapper Offset Released From Hospital After Florida Casino Shooting

Rapper Offset was released from a Florida hospital on April 10, 2026, after being treated for gunshot wounds sustained earlier in the week. The 34-year-old musician, born Kiari Kendrell Cephus, was injured during a shooting that took place outside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, on April 6, 2026.

A representative for the artist confirmed on April 10, 2026, that Offset had been discharged and is up and walking. The spokesperson expressed gratitude toward the hospital staff, including the doctors and nurses, for the care provided during his stay.

The incident occurred on the night of April 6, 2026, following a fight at the casino located just north of Miami. While Offset was hospitalized following the shooting, a spokesperson confirmed on April 7, 2026, that he was in stable condition. Police officials stated at the time that the injuries sustained by the rapper were not life-threatening.

Law enforcement officials have indicated that the investigation into the shooting is ongoing. According to reports, rapper Lil Tjay was detained in connection with the altercation involving Offset on April 6, 2026.

Following his release on April 10, 2026, Offset shared a handwritten note and a statement on social media to address his supporters. In the post, he thanked those who had checked on him and expressed his intent to focus on his recovery, his family, and his music.

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…

Offset concluded his social media statement by reflecting on the nature of his current situation, writing, Life’s a gamble and I’m still playing to win.

Offset rose to prominence as one-third of the influential hip-hop trio Migos. The group’s history has been marked by both significant commercial success and personal tragedy. In November 2022, fellow Migos member Kirsnik Khari Ball, known professionally as Takeoff, died after being shot outside a bowling alley in Houston.

The loss of his cousin and groupmate has remained a central point of emotional struggle for Offset. In 2024, he told USA TODAY that the pain following the death of Takeoff had not eased.

As of April 10, 2026, Offset remains focused on his physical recovery and returning to his professional music career following the incident at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
