A representative for Offset (real name: Kiari Kendrell Cephus) confirmed that he had been hit to the publication.

However, they offered some good news and reportedly said that he was ‘fine’ after the altercation.

The extent of his injuries is still unclear, but they said he ‘is currently at the hospital receiving medical care.’

In a statement to TMZ, the Seminole County Sheriff’s Department said, ‘We are aware of an incident that occurred at a valet area after 7 p.m. Monday outside of Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood that resulted in non-life threatening injuries to an individual who was transported to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood.

‘Seminole Police were on site immediately and the situation was contained quickly,’ they continued. ‘Two individuals have been detained by police. The investigation is ongoing. The site is secure and there is no threat to the public. Operations continue as normal.’

The Daily Mail has reached out for comment to Offset’s representative, as well as the Seminole County Sheriff’s Department and the Hollywood, Florida, Police Department.

Video circulating on social media allegedly taken at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino 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.

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

Mamdani taps fawning ‘WAP’ rapper Cardi B to spread word about free 2-K program



Mayor Zohran Mamdani enlisted the help of Cardi B on Friday in another cringy push to promote City Hall’s plan to provide free 2-K in some Big Apple neighborhoods this fall.

The rapper, a Bronx native, appeared with Mamdani in another one of his signature curated social media videos, in which the democratic socialist asks the “WAP” rapper to help him judge a jingle contest meant to drum up attention for the child care program.

“I feel like free child care is very important,” Cardi B replied when Mamdani asked her about the topic.

“Sometimes, us women, we can’t really go forward sometimes because we don’t have nobody to help us take care of our kids,” the mother of four added.

Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar, also gushed over Mamdani’s age – 34 – and replied “wow” when the mayor said 2,000 2-K seats would be available to parents in certain parts of the Big Apple.

The pilot program will have a footprint in every borough but Staten Island and enrollment for the limited seats will begin in June.

The program is expected to expand in subsequent years.

Mamdani asked New Yorkers to submit their best jingle tied to child care effort by April 17 – and the rap superstar will help select the best tune.

“Cardi’s gonna help you by judging this competition,” Mamdani said with a laugh while the celeb cut in, “The mayor’s gonna help you and I’m gonna judge and he’s gonna give cause he’s the one with the funds.”

The 2-K pilot is expected to cost $73 million with the state solely footing the massive bill. The cost per child is more than $36,000.


Cardi B suffers gnarly fall off chair during ‘Little Miss Drama’ tour



Cardi B took a nasty tumble off a chair during her “Little Miss Drama” tour in Las Vegas.

Video taken by a fan at her Friday night show showed the “WAP” hitmaker, 33, fall out of her seat while performing her verse on Blueface’s “Thotiana.”

However, she played the scene off gracefully by dropping to the stage floor where she continued to finish her lyrics.

In typical Cardi fashion, the Grammy winner laughed off the incident — this time, with a joke aimed at the US government.

“That was the government,” Cardi proceeded to tell the crowd before she skipped into her next song, “Pretty & Petty.”

She kept the joke going via her Instagram Stories Friday night after closing her show.

“Y’all the government was out to get me today,” Cardi quipped. “I’m telling you, [it was] the government. It was the government, bitch!”

On Saturday morning, she took to X with an equally hilarious response to Pop Crave’s tweet with the circulating clip on social media.

“Can someone put a community note on this ? This video is clearly Ai,” she joked.

After the show, Cardi and her tour team then celebrated another show in the books by hitting an afterparty, according her Saturday morning Instagram Stories.

At nearly 2:30 a.m., she informed her followers that she was trying out a new nighttime routine to help her sleep.

“So, I’m about to try that Twitter concoction right now. I’m gonna take some ashwagandha, magnesium and melatonin,” Cardi said. “Baby, I cannot wait. I want to sleep so f–king good, bitch, woah. I am just so tired.”

The “Up” hitmaker added that she just “can’t get the hang of the [tour] bus.”

“Like, the whole shaking and everything?” she said. “I’m very sensitive.”

She closed her updates by showing off her bruises on her legs (which seem to be the result of her stage mishap).

“I’m out here working for you motherf–kers,” she joked.

Michael Rubin’s Fanatics Super Bowl Party was the place to be in San Francisco, Calif., on Saturday.

The annual bash was jam-packed with A-listers once again, making it one of the most sought-after parties to score an invite to during Big Game Weekend.

One of the earliest celebs to arrive and make his way down the red carpet at Pier 48 was NFL legend Tom Brady, followed by New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, New York Giants star Cam Skattebo and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.

Shortly after, we spotted everyone from influencer Alix Earle — who, along with Brady, has been hopping around to all the hottest Super Bowl parties this week — to singer J Balvin, NFL star Odell Beckham Jr., retired NBA pro Dwight Howard, actor Jamie Foxx and “CBS Mornings” host Gayle King.

Of putting together such an A-list guest list this year, Fanatics CEO Rubin exclusively told Page Six that it was “really easy” thanks to the Patriots making it into the Super Bowl.

“I get one of my closest friends, Robert, [and Kraft Group president] Jonathan Kraft actually being in the game, that helps, by the way, when your friends are playing in the game,” he explained on the red carpet.

“What’s going to make it a great week is that, we’re going to have the best party ever today and then the [New England Patriots] are going to win the game tomorrow.”

Inside the star-studded bash, Page Six spotted rapper Jay-Z hanging out with friends in an exclusive, roped-off area of the venue, taking a spot right next to the stage.

Just a few feet away, “Bloody Valentine” rocker MGK was seen chatting it up with actor Kevin Costner, who became “fast friends” with the singer’s close pal, Pete Davidson, at last year’s VIP fête.

Kendall Jenner was also in attendance — after recently appearing in a Super Bowl 2026 ad for Fanatics Sportsbook — and at one point stopped to snap an unexpected pic with Kraft.

Guests at the party were entertained from beginning to end, with performances from Cardi B — who encouraged partygoers to take shots with her in celebration — along with SZA, Travis Scott, Ciara, 21 Savage, Don Toliver, Chase B and Nelly and Ashanti.

The Fanatics bash kicked off just one day before the New England Patriots face off against the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.

Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, meanwhile, will be headlining the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show, following an opening ceremony by Green Day and pre-game performances from Charlie Puth, Brandi Carlile and Coco Jones.

“I just want to have fun, it’s going to be a huge party,” the “King of Latin Trap” (real name: Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) teased during Apple Music’s press conference in San Francisco Thursday.

“I don’t want to give spoilers; people only need to worry about dancing. They don’t even have to learn Spanish; it’s better if they dance, but there’s no better dance [than one] that comes from the heart.”
