Former Migos rapper Offset shot outside Florida casino

The rapper Offset, a former member of the influential hip-hop trio Migos, was shot outside a Florida casino and is in stable condition, a spokesperson said Tuesday.

Offset, who was once married to Cardi B, was being treated at a hospital after Monday night’s shooting, the spokesperson said in a statement, although his exact condition was unknown. Police said the injuries were not life threatening.

More than three years ago, Offset’s cousin Takeoff, another member of Migos, was shot and killed at a Houston bowling alley.

The shooting followed a fight, police said. A rapper known as Lil Tjay, Tione Jayden Merritt, was arrested for the altercation that occurred before Monday’s shooting, the Seminole Police Department in Florida said. He was charged with disorderly conduct and operating a vehicle without a valid license, but he was not charged in the shooting.

A message seeking comment was left with Merritt’s lawyer. The 24-year-old rapper is a stalwart of New York’s South Bronx scene, celebrated for his sing-rapping and pop-hip-hop style delivered atop drill beats.

While police said one person sustained injuries at a valet area outside the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida, they did not identify the victim.
