Offset is already back on stage just days after being shot in Florida.
The rapper made his return over the weekend during a performance at the University of Arkansas’s Rowfest on April 11, where he was initially wheeled onto the stage before rising to his feet to cheers from the crowd.
Videos from the night show him performing while wearing a skeleton face mask, with a chair placed behind him in case he needed to rest.
The performance comes shortly after an incident on April 6, when Offset, whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, was shot outside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
According to police, the shooting happened in a valet area after what was reported to be a fight. He sustained injuries that were not life-threatening and was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. He was discharged in less than a week.
As details started to emerge, Lil Tjay, real name Tione Jayden Merritt, was detained in connection with the incident and later charged with disorderly conduct.
Authorities have since clarified that investigations are still ongoing, while his legal team has denied any involvement in the shooting itself. Another individual was also detained at the scene but not charged.
Before making his return to the stage, Offset addressed the situation on social media, thanking fans for their support and sharing that he is focused on his recovery, his family and getting back to music.

The performance marked his first since the shooting, and the moment he stood up from the wheelchair made rounds online, with many saying he’s back to performing so he can pay off his debts.
According to reports, Offset is also dealing with a separate legal matter involving a $100,000 (R1.64 million) casino debt. A Michigan-based casino reportedly claims he opened a credit line in March 2024, and failed to repay it.
According to documents obtained by “TMZ”, the casino couldn’t reach Offset and tried to withdraw the money directly from his account, per the agreement when he opened the credit line.
The casino has since filed a lawsuit, alleging that attempts to recover the money from his account were unsuccessful due to insufficient funds, with claims including breach of contract and fraud.
