Atlanta rapper Offset is hospitalized after being shot in South Florida, according to his representative, in a developing story that is drawing national attention across both Miami and Atlanta.
The shooting happened Monday near the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, just outside Miami, according to multiple reports.
“We can confirm Offset was shot and is currently at the hospital receiving medical care,” his representative told Variety. “He is stable and being closely monitored.”
Authorities have not released details about what led to the shooting, whether a suspect is in custody, or if others were involved. As of Tuesday night, the investigation remains active.
Atlanta ties amplify concern

His connection to the city – and continued influence in its music scene – is prompting concern among fans and artists across Georgia.
The incident also underscores how ties to Atlanta’s music industry continue to intersect with South Florida – a frequent destination for performances, events, and nightlife.
