Offset thanks his fans
Offset, whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, addressed his almost 24 million followers on Instagram on Friday. The musician wrote that he would like to thank everyone who showed him love. He would now focus on his family, his recovery and his return to music. He realized that life consists of “quiet victories and loud losses”. “Life is a game of chance and I still play to win,” he continued.
The rapper did not elaborate on the incident. According to police, two people were arrested in connection with the altercation, including rapper Lil Tjay, for disorderly conduct. The 24-year-old’s lawyer spoke of “false rumors” that Lil Tjay was involved in the shooting.
Three children with Cardi B
Offset used to date singer Cardi B and has three children with her. He became known as part of the Grammy-nominated hip-hop trio Migos, who celebrated success with hits such as “Versace”, “Bad and Boujee” and “MotorSport”.
In November 2022, another Migos member, the rapper Takeoff, was shot in the Texas city of Houston. A 33-year-old man was later charged with murder. (dab/sda/dpa)
