The popular rapper of Migos fame was reportedly rushed to the hospital on Monday, April 6, 2026, after he was shot near the Seminole Hard Rock Casino Hotel & Casino in Hollywood.
TMZ and Variety both reported the news, quoting a representative close to the rapper.
"Can confirm Offset was shot and is currently at the hospital receiving medical care. He is stable and being closely monitored."
Seminole Police also confirmed the incident, and rapper Offset was transported to Memorial Regional Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Amid the developing scenario, DJ Akademiks claimed that Lil Tjay was also shot at the same hotel, although authorities had yet to confirm that claim.
DJ Akademiks later clarified that the rapper was not shot but was instead picked up in relation to the incident.

Lil Tjay and Offset's beef explained
DJ Akademiks' claim has revived interest in a long-running feud between rappers Offset and Tjay, which began in January after the latter claimed the Migos rapper owed him money.
During a Twitch stream in January 2026, Lil Tjay accused Offset of being broke, claiming he loaned him up to $10,000 for casino gambling and was never repaid.
He alleged that he met his colleague at a casino in a panicked mode look for money, and helped him out.
"Why I diss Offset? Offset is broke. I’ll tell y’all a true story: I seen him in the casino. He was popped, he was panicking. He was asking random people for Cash Apps. He was broke.
“I don’t know what happened, nobody was answering his phone calls. He was trying to run up, chasing, chasing, chasing. He must have a gambling addiction," he said.
Offset hit back with a warning, claiming his colleague was probably speaking about the wrong person, but Lil Tjay did not relent.
In March 2026, he shared a post on Instagram flaunting jewellery and suggested the rapper was relying on 'lunch money'.
"I could never be broke like set [Offset] running off making smoke over lunch money. Ima have ta smoke on a hunnit streams for it to get to all that," he wrote.
Lil Tjay's comments angered Offset, who hit back in a social media post in which he challenged the Calling My Phone hitmaker to a one-on-one confrontation.
“Let’s hit on live, I’ll fly to you, this ain’t gon stop the ya fell off allegations. Meet me in New York. And give me a one-on-one live," he wrote.
The beef has resurfaced and sparked reactions on social media amid reports that Offset had been shot and Lil Tjay was reportedly in custody.
