Offset made a triumphant return to the stage just days after he was shot outside of a casino in Florida.
The Atlanta native showed up for his previously scheduled headlining performance at the University of Arkansas' 2026 Rowfest. In a clip he posted to his Instagram page, Offset sat in a wheelchair as he rolled onstage wearing a white mask. The crowd went wild once he stood up to begin his performance. While on stage, Offset had a lot of energy as he performed his solo hits along with some Migos classics like "Bad and Boujee."
Offset performed at the festival just days after he was released from the hospital. He received treatment from a hospital in Hollywood, Fla., for a gunshot wound following a shooting that went down during a fight outside at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino last week. According to the Seminole Police Department, security footage shows Lil Tjay jumping out of a car and pointing at Offset. They alleged Tjay "directed members of his party to start a fight with another group of males" at the hotel lobby's valet area. After Tjay led his team over to Offset, both sides began fighting each other until cops arrived. During the scuffle, someone from Tjay's crew pulled out a gun and shot Offset.
“Thank you to everyone who’s checked in on me and showed me love! I’m good….but I’m planning to be better!" he wrote in a statement following his release from the hospital. "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.”
"Offset has been released from the hospital and he is up and walking," his rep added. "We’re incredibly grateful to the doctors, nurses, and the entire hospital staff who took such great care of him."
While he was in the hospital, Offset's ex-wife Cardi B reportedly called to check on him. The former couple were together for seven years. They share three children, Kulture, Wave, and Blossom. They split up in 2024, and Cardi filed for divorce last year. As of this report, their divorce has not yet been finalized.
