Video circulating on social media allegedly taken at the hotel after the shooting showed police officers near the valet stand as they attempted to restrain two men.

One was seen being held on the ground by police, while two officers attempted to push back another standing man who was struggling with them.

Last night, TMZ published photos from fans showing Offset smiling around 7.10pm, just minutes before he was shot.

Witnesses said the rapper had been standing near the entrance and looking out toward the valet area while taking a call when fans approached him.

He is said to have spoken with fans and posed for pictures shortly before the shooting started.

Does gun violence involving celebrities show a wider safety problem?

The attack comes more than three years after Offset’s fellow Migos member Takeoff was shot and killed outside a bowling alley in Houston, Texas, on November 1, 2022.

A 23-year-old man named Patrick Xavier Clark was later arrested and charged with shooting the 28-year-old rapper – whose real name was Kirsnick Khari Ball.

Clark, who is free on a $1million bond, has denied firing the shots that killed Takeoff, but prosecutors have claimed that surveillance footage shows him shooting a gun at a crowd of people.

His trial has been delayed for several years, but he is now set to go before a jury in November.

Offset is best known for his work with the chart-topping rap trio Migos, which also includes fellow rapper Quavo, 35, who was Takeoff’s uncle and a friend of Offset.

After Takeoff’s death the pair disbanded the group to focus on their solo careers.

Offset had previously released the critically and commercially successful collaborative album Without Warning (2017) with 21 Savage and Metro Boomin, and he went on to release his debut studio solo album, Father of 4, in 2019.

His second studio LP, eventually titled Set It Off, had been scheduled to be released in November 2022, but it was delayed until October 2023 due to Takeoff’s murder, when it debuted at number five on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

He was previously in a high-profile on–off relationship with the rapper Cardi B, 33. They share three young children: daughters Kulture, seven; and Blossom, 17 months; as well as four-year-old son Wave; pictured together in February 2023 in LA

In August 2025, Offset released his third studio album, Kiari, which only peaked at number 16 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Last year also saw the release of his collaborative album Haunted by Fame, which features YoungBoy Never Broke Again, NoCap and Lil Dump.

Offset was previously in a high-profile on–off relationship with the rapper Cardi B, 33.

The couple shares three children: daughters Kulture, seven; and Blossom, 17 months; as well as their four-year-old son Wave.

Offset and Cardi B (real name: Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar) began dating in 2017 and tied the knot later that year, though their secret marriage was reported on until a year later when their marriage license was discovered by TMZ.

The couple split for the first time in December 2018, just five months after they welcomed Kulture, though they reunited just months later.

In September 2020, Cardi filed for divorce, only to reunite with Offset just a month later.

Their son Wave was born in September 2021, and Cardi shared the following year that she was looking forward to marrying Offset.

However, she revealed in late 2023 that they had split again, seemingly for good, and she filed for divorce in July 2024 before announcing her third pregnancy the following day.

Offset also has three older children from previous relationships: sons Jordan Cephus, 16; Kody Cephus, 11; and daughter Kalea Marie Cephus, 11.
