Offset is determined to “keep pushing” after being shot near the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Florida earlier this month.
The Creators Inc. Podcast host Andy Bachman brought up how the former Migos member not only traveled from Florida to Los Angeles, but performed onstage, and took part in this interview six days after the shooting. Offset compared himself to the Energizer Bunny, telling Bachman that he does not have “time to be slowing down.”
“Gotta keep pushing, like the Energizer Bunny, man,” he said. “Keep this shit pushing. We don’t got time to be slowing down.”
Offset explained that his travel arrangements consisted of putting a bed in a G5, saying, “Lay on that thing for six hours, go to sleep, you’re cool.”
Offset alluded to the shooting later in the interview, describing the incident as being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
“But we here, man. I’m pushing,” he said. “At the end of the day, the grind don’t stop. I don’t want nobody to feel sorry for me, or no shit like that. People get shot every day, bro.”
Four days after the shooting, Offset released a statement on social media, expressing gratitude for those who checked in on him, and showed him love.
“I’m good….but I’m planning to be better!” he wrote. “I’m focused on my family, my recovery, and getting back to the music…realizing that life is made up of quiet wins and loud losses…. Life’s a gamble and I’m still playing to win.”
