Shortly before the terrifying incident, Offset, 34, took a photo with a fan - obviously unaware of the horror that awaited him.
The rapper flashed a smile his wrist adorned with beaded bracelets.
Paramedics were also pictured arriving to the scene shortly after the incident, placing a victim inside their vehicle.
Offset was hospitalized after he was shot in on Monday near the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood. A representative for Offset confirmed that he had been shot but insisted he was fine.
They added that the extent of his injuries is still unclear and said he is 'stable and being closely monitored' in hospital.

In a statement to the Daily Mail, the Seminole Police Department said, 'We are aware of an incident that occurred at a valet area after 7pm 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.
'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.'
The Daily Mail has contacted Offset's representative for comment, as well as the Hollywood, Florida, Police Department.

Clark, who is free on a $1 million bond, has denied firing the shots that killed Takeoff, but prosecutors have claimed that surveillance footage shows him shooting a gun at a crowd of people.
His trial has been delayed for several years, but he is now set to go before a jury in November.

Offset is best known for his work with the chart-topping rap trio Migos, which also includes fellow rapper Quavo, 35, who was Takeoff's uncle and a friend of Offset.
After Takeoff's death, the pair disbanded the group to focus on their solo careers.
Offset released a collaborative album, Without Warning, with fellow rapper 21 Savage and producer Metro Boomin in 2017 before following up with his debut solo album Father of 4 in 2019.
His second record, titled Set It Off, was released in October 2023 and debuted at number five on the Billboard 200 albums chart. It had been due to come out in November 2022 but was delayed by Takeoff's death.

His second studio LP, eventually titled Set It Off, had been scheduled to be released in November 2022, but it was delayed until October 2023 due to Takeoff's murder, when it debuted at number five on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
In August 2025, Offset released his third studio album, Kiari, which peaked at number 16 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Last year also saw the release of his collaborative album Haunted by Fame, which features YoungBoy Never Broke Again, NoCap and Lil Dump.
Offset was previously in a high-profile on-off relationship with fellow rapper Cardi B, 33. They have three children together, including daughters Kulture, aged seven, and one-year-old Blossom, as well as a four-year-old son called Wave.
Offset and Cardi - whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar - began dating in 2017 and wed in secret later that year. Their marriage license was later discovered by TMZ.

The couple split for the first time in December 2018, just five months after Kulture's birth, though they got back together just months later.
In September 2020, Cardi filed for divorce, only to reunite with Offset just a month later.
Their son Wave was born in September 2021, and Cardi shared the following year that she was looking forward to marrying Offset.
However, she revealed in late 2023 that they had split again, seemingly for good, and filed for divorce a second time in July 2024 before announcing her third pregnancy the following day. Her daughter Blossom was born on September 7, 2024.
Offset has three older children from previous relationships, including sons Jordan Cephus, aged 16, and 11-year-old Kody Cephus, as well as daughter Kalea Marie Cephus, also aged 11.
