RAPPER Offset has stunned fans and appeared on stage at Coachella Festival – days after being shot outside a Florida casino.

The 34-year-old artist – born Kiari Cephus – battled on and performed much of his set from a wheelchair as he continued to recover from gunshot injuries earlier in the week.

The incident occurred near the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood on Monday.

It comes nearly four years after Offset’s Migos bandmate Takeoff was fatally shot after an argument erupted outside of a Houston Bowling alley.

Hours before the latest shooting involving the Bad and Boujee rapper, Cardi, 33, shared videos on Instagram of their kids jumping for joy as they hunted for Easter eggs at her home.

The estranged pair share three children: a daughter, Kulture Kiari Cephus, born in 2018; a son, Wave Set Cephus, born in 2021; and a daughter, Blossom, born in September 2024.

Offset is also a father to three other children from other relationships.

Cardi – birth name Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar – filed for divorce from Offset in August after seven years of marriage and is reportedly seeking primary custody of their kids.

The pair started dating in February 2017 after collaborating on Cardi’s song Lick a month prior.

They secretly got married a few months later in September and welcomed Kulture the next year.

Their relationship was on-again, off-again while cheating rumours dogged Offset.

They split in 2020 but quickly reconciled, and had Wave the following year.

Cardi filed for divorce in July 2024 and announced she was pregnant the next day.

She gave birth to Blossom in September.

Cardi was most recently linked to NFL star Stefon Diggs, with whom she welcomed a baby in November.

They hard launched their relationship with a PDA-filled date a Knicks game in May 2025.

Days before the New England Patriots’ wide receiver played in the Super Bowl, and Cardi B appeared in the halftime show, rumours circulated that the couple had parted ways.

A week later, Cardi confirmed their split when she appeared to shade the football star during a performance on her Little Miss Drama Tour.
