Offset smokes cigarette outside hospital after being shot in the leg
Offset was photographed smoking a cigarette outside of a Florida hospital after he was shot in the leg.
The “Taste” rapper appeared slightly distressed as he crouched over in an ICU wheelchair alongside his mom, Latabia Woodward, and a hospital employee on Tuesday.
The hitmaker, who wore a hospital gown and gray socks, lifted his gown to reveal his left thigh to the worker.
Offset — born Kiari Kendrell Cephus — engaged in conversation with Woodward and the employee, who were attentive to him.
The “Open It Up” crooner, 34, was transported to the hospital after he was shot while at the valet area of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, on Monday night.
“He is stable and being closely monitored,” a rep for the hitmaker told Page Six.
At the time, Seminole County police told Page Six that the “incident began with an affray, or fight,” and “resulted in non-life-threatening injuries.”
“Seminole Police were on site immediately, and the situation was contained quickly. Two individuals have been detained by police,” the police said, ensuring that there was no threat to the public.
Lil Tjay — born Tione Jayden Merrit — was later arrested and charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct-affray.
He was booked into the Broward County Jail with his bond set to $500.
An attorney for the “Calling My Phone” emcee, Dawn Florio, denied her client’s involvement in the shooting.
“We are issuing this release in regards to false rumors that Lil Tjay was involved in a shooting … which [resulted] in non-life-threatening injuries to Offset, formerly a member of Migos,” the lawyer wrote via Instagram.
“Lil Tjay has not been shot, nor has Lil Tjay been charged with any shooting. Any reporting to the contrary is false,” the statement continued.
The shooter’s identity has yet to be confirmed.
Before the shooting occurred, Offset was photographed talking and posing with fans in the valet area of the hotel, with a witness describing him as “relaxed and friendly.”
