A former member of the hip hop group Migos has been released from this hospital after being shot outside the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, just north of Miami, Monday.
Offset, born Kiari Kendrell Cephus, was listed in stable throughout much of the week and he did post to his social media account hours after the shooting.
“Offset has been released from the hospital and he is up and walking,” a representative for Offset said on Friday. “We’re incredibly grateful to the doctors, nurses, and the entire hospital staff who took such great care of him.”
The rapper shared his own statement on social media Friday, writing, “Thank you to everyone who’s checked in on me and showed me love! I’m good….but I’m planning to be better! I’m focused on my family, my recovery, and getting back to the music…realizing that life is made up of quiet wins and loud losses...”
“Life’s a gamble and I’m still playing to win,” he concluded.
Earlier this week, officers detained two people. The rapper Lil Tjay, born Tione Jayden Merritt, was arrested in connection with the altercation that occurred before the shooting, the Seminole Police Department in Florida said. He was charged with disorderly conduct and operating a vehicle without a valid license.
The second person detained at the scene has not been charged and investigators were working to identify others involved, police said in a statement Tuesday.
Following the incident, reports emerged that Offset allegedly owed a few individuals money from gambling debts. Soon after, news broke that the rapper owed a Detroit casino $100,000.
