What have the police said about the shooting?

Police also addressed the incident. The Seminole Police Department said it was “aware of an incident that occurred at a valet area after 7PM Monday outside of Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood that resulted in non-life-threatening injuries to an individual who was transported to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood.”

They added: “Seminole Police were on site immediately, and the situation was contained quickly. Two individuals have been detained by police.”

Authorities noted that the investigation is still active but reassured the public, stating: “The site is secure and there is no threat to the public. Operations continue as normal.”

Offset's relationship with Migos and Cardi B

Offset, a founding member of the rap group Migos, is a father of six. He shares three children with his former partner and fellow rapper Cardi B.

The couple married in 2017 but began divorce proceedings in 2024 after a tumultuous relationship, with both parties facing allegations of infidelity.

The shooting comes four years after the tragic death of his fellow Migos member Takeoff, who was killed outside a bowling alley in Houston. Reflecting on that loss in 2024, Offset said the pain “never” fades.

“I just keep pushing and keeping a positive thought process because that’s what he would want me to do,” he explained. “I pray and keep family close. I hear him talking to me here and there and giving me signs to keep pushing. He’s literally on my dresser [in a photo] everywhere I go.”
