Cardi B’s ex-husband, Offset, is recovering after being shot in Florida.
The former Migos member (real name Kiari Kendrell Cephus) was shot on Monday, April 6, near the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, a rep for the rapper confirmed to Complex.
“We can confirm Offset was shot and is currently at the hospital receiving medical care,” the rapper’s rep told the outlet in a statement. “He is stable and being closely monitored.”
The circumstances behind the shooting are currently unknown. TMZ was first to report the news.
Seminole County, Florida, police subsequently told Page Six that no life-threatening injuries were sustained in the shooting.
“We are aware of an incident that occurred at a valet area after 7 p.m. 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,” a police spokesperson to the outlet. “Seminole Police were on site immediately and the situation was contained quickly. Two individuals have been detained by police. The investigation is ongoing. The site is secure and there is no threat to the public. Operations continue as normal.”
Us Weekly has reached out to representatives for Offset and the City of Hollywood Police Department for comment.
Offset’s former Migos bandmate Takeoff was killed in a shooting at age 28 in Houston, Texas, in November 2022. The shooting was linked to a high-stakes dice game where fellow Migos member Quavo was also present, though Takeoff (real name Kirsnick Khari Ball) was reportedly an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire. (Patrick Xavier Clark was indicted for Takeoff’s murder in November 2022 and is awaiting trial. Clark maintains his innocence.)
More than 20,000 people turned out to mourn Takeoff at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena in November 2022, with Cardi B, Justin Bieber and Drake among those in attendance.
Offset confirmed in 2023 that he and Quavo were disbanding Migos in the wake of Takeoff’s death. However, during an October 2025 appearance on the “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer” podcast, Offset admitted there were issues within Migos even before Takeoff’s murder.
“Things on the business side wasn’t turning to my favor. I’ve got kids and family,” Offset pointed out. “I’m just getting older and getting more smart, paying more attention to my money and my finances. I felt like I wanted a bigger piece, not from [Quavo and Takeoff] but from the business.”
Offset shares three children — daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus, 7, son Wave Set Cephus, 4, and daughter Blossom Belle Cephus, 1 — with his estranged wife, Cardi B, 33. He is also a father of sons Jordan Cephus, 16, and Kody Cephus, 11, and daughter Kalea Marie Cephus, 11, from prior relationships. (Cardi B welcomed her fourth child, a boy, with Stefon Diggs in November 2025.)
Following a tumultuous few years, Cardi B confirmed in December 2023 that she had been “single for a minute now.” She subsequently filed for divorce in July 2024.
Offset opened up the split on the “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer” podcast, acknowledging that he had regrets over the way his marriage to Cardi ended.
“I should have respected her way more. I made bad decisions, like stepping out,” Offset said in October 2025. “Gotta take that on the chin. When she left, I had to take that on the chin. … We got so much, our kids, to live for. I was being selfish, and I can say that as a man.”
