Lil Tjay’s lawyer denies shooting involvement after rapper’s Florida arrest
After news of the shooting broke, many speculated that Lil Tjay was involved, as he and Offset had recently clashed, and outlets have reported that he was arrested “in connection” with the incident, though other deatils about the shooting, including the identity of the shooter, are unknown.
According to the New York Post, their feud dates back to last year, when Lil Tjay accused Offset of being “broke” and having a gambling addiction. He claimed he lent Offset $10,000 at a casino after seeing him “panicking” and asking others for money via Cash App.
Lil Tjay alleged that Offset never repaid the loan and said he told the Migos rapper to “get it back in blood.”
Offset pushed back on those claims at the time, challenging Lil Tjay to a one-on-one fight in March 2025 and saying he planned to broadcast it, though the match never materialized.
On Tuesday, Lil Tjay’s attorney, Dawn Florio, denied any involvement and claimed that the 24-year-old wasn’t connected to the shooting, Complex reported. She also claimed he hasn’t been charged, despite reports circulating online.
“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 Hotel, which resulted in non-life-threatening injuries to Offset, formerly a member of Migos,” Florio wrote on Instagram.
She added, “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 verify the accuracy of any reporting before sharing or repeating baseless rumors.”
Seminole Police records show Lil Tjay was arrested Monday on a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge in Florida, Complex later reported. Authorities took him into custody with an additional capias traffic charge tied to driving without a valid license.
According to TMZ, a report also noted that Lil Tjay was “involved in a fight” with unidentified individuals before the shooting.
