Offset, whose real name is Kiari Kendrell Cephus, addressed his almost 24 million followers on Instagram on Friday. He thanked everyone who had shown him love, the musician wrote. He would now focus on his family, his recovery and his return to music. He has realized that life is made up of "silent victories and loud losses". "Life is a game of chance and I'm still playing to win," he continued.
The rapper did not elaborate on the incident. According to the police, two people were arrested in connection with the altercation, including the rapper Lil Tjay for disorderly conduct. The 24-year-old's lawyer spoke of "false rumors" that Lil Tjay was involved in the shooting.
