The rapper Offset was shot Monday and is stable, according to a spokesperson, but his exact condition is unknown.
He is being treated at a hospital and being closely monitored, the spokesperson for his former group Migos said in a statement.
The Seminole Police Department said a person sustained injuries that were not life-threatening Monday evening at a valet area outside of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Fla. The police department did not identify the victim.
Two people were detained by police and officials are investigating, according to a statement from the police department.
“The site is secure and there is no threat to the public,” it said. “Operations continue as normal.”
Offset’s cousin Takeoff, another member of Migos, was shot dead in 2022.
The trio, with its rapid-fire flow, became known as one of the most popular hip-hop groups of all time. It broke out with the 2013 hit Versace and later earned Grammy nominations for best rap album with 2018’s Culture, while a track off it nabbed a nod for best rap performance.
Offset was formerly married to Cardi B, with whom he has three children.
