Further details about the shooting are unknown at this time.

It comes nearly four years after Offset’s Migos bandmate Takeoff was fatally shotafter an argument erupted outside of a Houston Bowling alley.

Hours before the latest shooting involving the Bad and Boujee rapper, Cardi, 33, shared videos on Instagram of their kids jumping for joy as they hunted for Easter eggs at her home.

The estranged pair share three children: a daughter, Kulture Kiari Cephus, born in 2018; a son, Wave Set Cephus, born in 2021; and a daughter, Blossom, born in September 2024.

Offset – real name Kiari Kendrell Cephus – is also a father to three other children from other relationships.

Cardi – birth name Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar – filed for divorce from Offset in August after seven years of marriage and is reportedly seeking primary custody of their kids.

The Bodak Yellow rapper had previously accused her ex of cheating, though insiders claimed to Page Six that the reason for their split was they’d “grown apart.”

Aside from their children, the former couple appeared to have abandoned all other connections they’d had to one another.

The U.S. Sun exclusively reported in November that half a Georgia street the duo owns has been left rundown, with rotted homes and no signs of being fixed up.

Offset is also said to be facing financial troubles with more than $2.3 million in tax liens, according to documents obtained by The U.S. Sun.

Cardi was most recently linked to NFL star Stefon Diggs, with whom she welcomed a baby in November.

Days before the New England Patriots’ wide receiver played in the Super Bowl, and Cardi B appeared in the halftime show, rumors circulated that the couple had parted ways.

A week later, Cardi confirmed their split when she appeared to shade the football star during a performance on her Little Miss Drama Tour.
