Breaking — April 6, 2026: In shocking news that has rocked the hip-hop world tonight, rapper Offset — the Grammy-nominated Migos star and ex-husband of Cardi B — has been shot in South Florida. The news broke late Monday evening and immediately became one of the top trending searches in the United States. Here is everything we know right now.
What Happened to Offset?
Offset was shot in Hollywood, Florida, on Monday and is currently in stable condition in the hospital, a spokesperson for the rapper and police confirmed. “We can confirm Offset was shot and is currently at the hospital receiving medical care. He is stable and being closely monitored,” his spokesperson said.
The shooting happened near the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, just outside Miami, according to multiple reports.
The Seminole Police Department said an “incident” happened in the valet area outside the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood after 7 p.m. One person was taken to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood with non-life-threatening injuries. The situation was quickly contained, and two people were detained by police.
As of right now, the investigation is active and ongoing. Authorities have not released details about what led to the shooting or confirmed the identities of those detained.
Who Is Offset?
Offset’s real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus. He is 34 years old and grew up in Lawrenceville, Georgia, alongside his fellow Migos members Quavo and Takeoff.
The Grammy-nominated rap trio Migos formed in 2008 in Georgia. They released their first major hit, “Versace,” in 2013 and rose to the top of the charts in 2016 with “Bad and Boujee,” featuring Lil Uzi Vert. The group became one of the most influential hip-hop acts of their generation, pioneering a triplet flow style that reshaped modern rap music.
Beyond Migos, Offset built a successful solo career and became a major celebrity figure through his high-profile relationship and marriage to superstar rapper Cardi B. Offset was formerly married to Cardi B, with whom he has three children. The two were secretly wed in September 2017 in Atlanta. Cardi B filed for divorce in 2024.
The Tragic Shadow of Takeoff
The news of Offset being shot carries an especially painful weight for hip-hop fans who remember what happened just a few years ago. His fellow Migos rapper Takeoff was fatally shot in November 2022 at the age of 28.
In a cover interview with Variety the following year, Offset opened up about his grief over losing his cousin and Migos bandmate, sharing: “I get through my day thinking it’s fake. And I don’t say nothing to nobody about it.”
The fact that Offset has now himself been shot — just three and a half years after Takeoff’s murder — has sent shockwaves through the music industry and left fans around the world deeply shaken.
