Cardi B’s Ex-Husband, Offset, Shot Outside Hollywood Hotel: What We Know So Far

Rapper Offset, born Kiari Kendrell Cephus, known for his work with the Atlanta hip-hop trio Migos and as Cardi B’s ex-husband, was reportedly shot outside a hotel in Hollywood on April 6, 2026 (ET). The shooting occurred at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, and the rapper was rushed to Memorial Regional Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. A spokesperson confirmed that Offset is “stable” and receiving medical care.

The Seminole Police Department verified a shooting incident at the hotel valet area after 7 p.m. and confirmed that two individuals were detained. Police spokesperson Gary Bitner stated:
“Seminole Police were on site immediately, and the situation was contained quickly. There is no threat to the public, and operations continue as normal.”

Ongoing Investigation

Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting. The hotel has not issued a public statement regarding the incident. Fans have expressed concern for Offset’s health, and police have assured the public that safety measures are in place.

Family Tragedy

This is not the first time Offset’s family has been affected by gun violence. His cousin, Takeoff, was fatally shot in Houston, Texas, in November 2022 following a private party. That incident involved multiple gunshots and left several injured before Takeoff was pronounced dead.

Offset and Cardi B

Offset shares three children with ex-wife Cardi B: 7-year-old Kulture, 4-year-old Wave, and 1-year-old Blossom. The couple married in 2017 and filed for divorce in 2024 due to growing apart and ongoing disputes. Cardi B is currently on tour promoting her latest album Am I The Drama?

The Hollywood shooting adds to Offset’s recent headlines, but authorities emphasize that he is in stable condition, and investigations are ongoing to identify motives and suspects.
