Offset has been sued by a Detroit casino for allegedly not paying his $100K tab days after he was shot in Florida.
According to documents obtained by TMZ on Wednesday, April 8, the rapper (real name Kiari Kendrell Cephus) is being sued by the MotorCity Casino Hotel for breach of contract, fraud and more. The casino claimed that Offset opened a credit line of $100K with the establishment in March 2024.
The casino’s lawsuit claimed that they could not reach Offset to pay the alleged debt, so they attempted to take the money out of the musician’s account directly — an alleged agreement made when Offset opened the line of credit. The casino alleged that there was not enough money in Offset’s account to settle the debt.
In a statement to Us Weekly, a rep for Offset shared, “We are working toward a resolution.”
Two days before MotorCity Casino’s lawsuit was filed, news broke that Offset had been shot near the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
“We can confirm Offset was shot and is currently at the hospital receiving medical care,” the rapper’s rep told Complex in a statement on Monday, April 6. “He is stable and being closely monitored.”
Seminole County, Florida, police told Page Six that no life-threatening injuries were sustained in the shooting. (Before the shooting Offset was reportedly hanging out with fans at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino and displayed no obvious signs of trouble.)
“We are aware of an incident that occurred at a valet area after 7 p.m. Monday outside of Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood that resulted in non-life threatening injuries to an individual who was transported to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood,” a police spokesperson said to the outlet. “Seminole Police were on site immediately and the situation was contained quickly. Two individuals have been detained by police. The investigation is ongoing. The site is secure and there is no threat to the public. Operations continue as normal.”
Offset is best known for being a member of the rap group Migos, which also consisted of Quavo and Takeoff who was Offset’s cousin. In November 2022, Takeoff was killed in a shooting in Houston, Texas. He was 28. Offset and Quavo disbanded Migos one year later.
“Things on the business side wasn’t turning to my favor. I’ve got kids and family,” Offset said of the decision to halt Migos during an October 2025 appearance on the “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer” podcast. “I’m just getting older and getting more smart, paying more attention to my money and my finances. I felt like I wanted a bigger piece, not from [Quavo and Takeoff] but from the business.”
The rapper has also made headlines over the years for his romance with Cardi B. The pair, who share daughter Kulture, 7, son Wave, 4, and daughter Blossom, 19 months, were married from 2017 to 2024.
