Rapper Lil Tjay arrested by police moments before Offset’s shooting incident at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. Broward County Sheriff’s Office released a mugshot showing Tjay smiling as he was taken into custody for misdemeanor disorderly conduct-affray.
Speculation is rife that both rappers’ crews were fighting when shots rang out, though DJ Akademiks and internet celebrity Ceddy Nash fueled such rumors online. Lil Tjay’s lawyer, Dawn M. Florioa, vehemently denied involvement in Offset’s shooting on social media, stating that the rapper was not armed, nor shot, nor charged.
The feud between Offset and Lil Tjay reportedly stems from a $10,000 debt over an alleged loan given to Offset at a casino in 2025. The rivalry simmered for months until it boiled over into a livestream fight challenge, which never materialized. Meanwhile, Offset is recovering from gunshot wounds and stable condition.
