Rapper Offset Hospitalized After Hollywood Shooting Incident
Rapper Offset, who appeared on Raw earlier this year, was reportedly involved in a shooting incident leading to his hospitalization on Monday.
According to reports from TMZ, the 34-year-old, real name Kiari Kendrell Cephus, was shot near the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL, and taken to Memorial Regional Hospital.
A spokesperson for the rapper confirmed the hospitalization and noted that Cephus was 'fine' and 'He is stable and being closely monitored.' A representative of the Seminole County Police confirmed that they have secured the site and detained two individuals after the shooting, though they did not reveal any further details.
Offset was part of the hip-hop group Migos with Quavo and Takeoff. The latter, real name Kirsnick Khari Ball, lost his life in a shooting incident in Houston, Texas back in 2022.
Offset made an appearance on the February 23 Raw this year, accompanying Je’Von Evans for his match against Kofi Kingston. He got involved in the action with Grayson Waller at the ringside, allowing the OG to pick up the victory.
This led to a storyline between the rapper and the New Day. His song called Bodies was also used as the official theme for the 2026 Elimination Chamber event.
