On Monday (April 6), rumors began to circulate about New York City rapper Lil Tjay. Media personalities DJ Akademiks and Ceddy Nash both suggested that the rapper was involved in an incident. That left former Migos star Offset hospitalized with a gunshot wound.
Lil Tjay’s Lawyer Denies His Involvement in Offset Shooting
However, in response to those rumors, Lil Tjay’s lawyer, Dawn Florio, released a statement denying his involvement.
“We are issuing this release in regards to false rumors that Lil Tjay was involved in a shooting which occurred at the Valet Area of the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood, which resulted in non-life-threatening injuries to Offset, formerly a member of Migos,” the statement reads (via Complex).
“Lil Tjay has not been shot, nor has Lil Tjay been charged with any shooting. Any reporting to the contrary is false. We encourage people to consult trusted news sources, and to verify the accuracy of any reporting, before reflexively sharing or repeating baseless rumors.”
Offset was shot outside of a Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida, on Monday evening. The rumors began to circulate that Lil Tjay was involved in the shooting. And given the fact that the Bronx rapper alleged that he loaned Offset a lump sum of money. And he was never paid back, which led to a heated back-and-forth on social media in 2025; a lot of people took the rumors to be true.
It is still unclear what led to the altercation. Thankfully, one source told TMZ that Offset is “fine” and “is currently at the hospital receiving medical care.” They also said that he is “stable and being closely monitored.”
