Offset was released from the hospital only 48 hours before the performance. The rapper was shot outside Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood in Florida, on April 6 following an altercation. He sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
The 34-year-old, born Kiari Cephus, made his first personal statement on Friday, thanking fans for their well-wishes and support. “I’m good…. but I’m planning to be better,” Offset said in a handwritten letter posted on Instagram. “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.”
