Offset, who is the ex-husband of Cardi B, was shot at the valet area of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood in Florida on April 6.
Police allege the incident was instigated by fellow musician Lil Tjay. The shooting allegedly "began with an affray, or fight", and the situation "was contained quickly."
At the time of the shooting, a rep for Offset told Page Six he had been transported to a local hospital in a stable condition.
The Ric Flair Drip hitmaker also thanked everyone who had checked in on him and sent love after he was shot in an Instagram post on Saturday.
"Thank you to everyone who's checked in on me and showed me love! I'm good… but I'm planning to be better!" read the post.
"I'm focused on my family, my recovery, and getting back to the music … realising that life is made up of quiet wins and loud losses…

"Life is a gamble and I'm still playing to win."
Offset rose to fame as a member of Migos, the chart-topping trio behind hits like Versace and the Grammy-nominated album Culture.
The incident comes just a few years after fellow member Takeoff was fatally shot in 2022.
