Offset Says He’ll Keep Pushing After Florida Shooting

A new podcast interview underscores his rapid return with a refusal to seek pity.

Overview

  • Offset said he was hit in the hip in the shooting outside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
  • He returned to work quickly, performing at the University of Arkansas’s Rowfest and recording a Creators Inc. Podcast interview six days later.
  • In that interview, he said he does not want sympathy and promised to keep pushing, comparing himself to the Energizer Bunny.
  • Four days after the attack, he posted that he was focused on recovery, family, and getting back to music.
  • Police have not charged anyone in the gunfire, and fellow rapper Lil Tjay was detained at the scene on a disorderly conduct charge and released the same day.
