Lil Tjay Claims Offset Snitched Following Casino Shooting
In the wake of a chaotic shooting incident outside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla., on Monday, April 6, rapper Lil Tjay has leveled serious accusations against Offset. Following his release on bond after being taken into custody for disorderly conduct and operating a vehicle without a license, Lil Tjay spoke briefly with reporters, alleging that Offset provided information to the police regarding the incident.
“The last thing I see was Offset looking at me like this. ‘Yo, that ni**a shot me. Yo, that ni**a shot me,'” Lil Tjay stated during the encounter. He further characterized the interaction by adding, “That ni**a is a rat. I didn’t do no damn fighting.”
When questioned directly about his involvement in the shooting, Lil Tjay denied any participation, responding, “Did I shoot who? That s**t is crazy.” He also dismissed the notion that he had engaged in a physical altercation with the Atlanta rapper, asserting, “I’ll smack the s**t out of Offset. He would never play like that with me in his life.”
Legal and Medical Updates
The incident, which occurred near the valet area of the casino, resulted in Offset being rushed to Memorial Regional Hospital. A representative for Offset confirmed to XXL that the rapper was indeed shot but remains in stable condition and is being closely monitored. Offset was later observed outside the medical facility in a wheelchair, smoking a cigarette.
Lil Tjay’s legal counsel, Dawn Florio, has issued a formal statement distancing her client from the violence. “Lil Tjay has not been shot, nor has Lil Tjay been charged with any shooting,” Florio stated. “Any reporting to the contrary is false.”
Seminole Police have confirmed that the investigation is ongoing. While two individuals were initially taken into custody, authorities have noted that the second person detained has not been charged, and they are continuing efforts to identify all parties involved in the shooting.
