Former Migos member Offset was rushed to the hospital on Monday evening, April 6, 2026, after being shot outside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood, Florida.

A representative for Offset confirmed the incident, telling the outlet that while he had been hit, he is “fine” and currently receiving medical care.
They added that he is stable and being closely monitored at Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood.
The Seminole Police Department released a statement noting that the shooting resulted in non-life-threatening injuries. Officers on site quickly contained the situation, detaining two individuals.
Authorities emphasised that the hotel remains secure and operations continue as normal.
Video circulating online shows police restraining two men near the valet stand, with one pinned to the ground and another struggling against officers.
Just minutes before the attack, fans captured photos of Offset smiling and interacting with them outside the hotel entrance.
Witnesses said he had been on a call but paused to greet fans, shake hands, and pose for pictures before gunfire erupted.
The incident comes more than three years after Offset’s fellow Migos member Takeoff was tragically shot and killed outside a Houston bowling alley in 2022 at the age of 28.
Offset’s representatives have assured fans that he is stable, though the full extent of his injuries remains unclear. The investigation into the shooting is ongoing.
