Offset came back stronger after his shooting accident changed his plans, but he still showed up – even taking the stage in a wheelchair.
The 34-year-old rapper opened up about his recovery and accident in a new interview, explaining how he kept his spirits up and continued to push himself.
“You gotta keep pushing like the Energizer Bunny, man. Keep pushing. There’s no time to slow down.” Offset told the Podcast Creators Inc. on Thursday March 23.
Speaking about his mid-recovery performance, the Annihilate The hitmaker noted: “You need to upgrade to G6 – G5, sorry. Have them pull out the bed, lay on that thing for six hours, go to sleep. You’re cool.”
The rapper also hinted at his new album in the same interview, saying, “I’m trying to release it soon. A few months. I don’t have a date yet, but I gotta find the creativity and everything come together. Scrapping songs, making new songs, just out of life because all my shit is always out of life experiences. You know what I mean? What’s happening in my real life, I just put it in my music.”
Despite the Florida accident, Offset said he maintains a “gladiator mentality” that motivates him to move forward instead of being held back by such incidents.
“The show never stops at the end of the day. I was lucky enough to still be able to move, you know what I mean? So, I’m always moving. I didn’t really have a checklist for that,” he said.
THE open it The singer added, “I don’t want no one to feel sorry for me or any shit like that. People get shot every day, bro, I’m blessed. I can keep pushing, so why should I just sit back? I gotta keep pushing. I gotta keep pushing.”
