Lil Tjay has hit out at Offset after being arrested in connection with the former Migos rapp<\/a>er’s shooting.<\/p>\n

Offset was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries on Monday evening (April 6) after being shot outside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.<\/p>\n

Police said that Tjay, who has been feuding with the “Ric Flair Drip” rapper in recent years, was arrested and “charged in connection with the incident,” according to NBC News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He is accused of instigating a fight with Offset that led to his shooting.<\/p>\n

Jail records show that Tjay was booked on a disorderly conduct charge and released on bond on Tuesday (April 7).<\/p>\n

While leaving the jail, the 24-year-old spoke with reporters and lashed out at Offset, calling him a “rat.”<\/p>\n

“The last thing I seen was Offset looking at me like this, ‘Yo, that n*gga shot me! That n*gga shot me!’ That n*gga is a rat,” he said. “I didn’t do no damn fighting … Did I shoot Offset? That shit is crazy.”<\/p>\n

When asked if Offset put hands on him, the Bronx native snapped: “I’ll smack the shit out of Offset. He would never play with me like that in his life.”<\/p>\n

According to a probable cause affadavit, Lil Tjay “directed members of his [entourage] to start a fight with another group of males” in the valet area of the casino.<\/p>\n

Surveillance footage showed Tjay pointing at Offset and then approaching him along with his associates, cops claim. During the altercation, one of Tjay’s associates allegedly pulled out a gun and fired, injuring Offset.<\/p>\n

“Sworn statements were taken from the victims who stated that they were caring for their wounded friend [Offset], when the defendant [Lil Tjay] approached them in an aggressive manner with fists clenched and taking swings at them,” the affadavit reads.<\/p>\n

Tjay is also accused of filming the confrontation on his phone.<\/p>\n

The rapper’s attorney Dawn M. Florio previously denied his involvement in the shooting, saying in a statement<\/a>: “Lil Tjay has not been shot nor has Lil Tjay been charged with any shooting. Any reporting to the contrary is false.”<\/p>\n

A second person detained at the scene has not been charged, according to police, who added: “The investigation to identify one or more additional persons involved in the incident is ongoing.”<\/p>\n

Offset, meanwhile, is still recovering at Memorial Regional Hospital. He was captured on Tuesday outside the hospital smoking a cigarette in a wheelchair.<\/p>\n

The two rappers began feuding last year when Lil Tjay claimed that Offset was “broke” and owed him money due to his “gambling addiction.”<\/p>\n

During a Twitch stream in January 2025, the “Calling My Phone” rapper claimed that he once lent Offset $5,000 at a casino and was owed upwards of $10,000 from the former Migo.<\/p>\n

He also shared alleged screenshots of him threatening to \u201csmack the whole shit\u201d out of Offset if he didn\u2019t get his money back.<\/p>\n

After further taunts from Lil Tjay months later, Offset challenged the 24-year-old to a fight, writing on Instagram: \u201clet\u2019s hit on live I\u2019ll fly to you this ain\u2019t gone stop ya fell off allegations.\u201d<\/p>\n
