The fallout from Offset’s shocking shooting just keeps getting messier — and now Lil Tjay is back on the streets and not holding back.
Just hours after being released from jail, the Bronx rapper went straight into attack mode — publicly calling Offset a “rat” while denying any involvement in the shooting that left fans stunned.
And yes… it all unfolded right in front of cameras.
Lil Tjay Walks Free — And Goes Off
Lil Tjay was released Tuesday afternoon from Broward County Jail following his arrest tied to a fight that broke out before Offset was shot.
But instead of keeping things low-key, he walked straight into a swarm of media — and used the moment to send a loud message.
In video captured outside the jail, Lil Tjay:
- Appears visibly heated
- Walks with purpose past reporters
- Calls Offset a “rat”
- Firmly denies that he shot him
The moment instantly went viral — adding even more fuel to an already explosive situation.
What Led to the Arrest?
According to authorities, Lil Tjay was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct-affray.
Here’s what we know so far:
- Police say he was involved in a physical altercation
- The fight happened shortly before Offset was shot
- The incident took place near the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida
He was booked, posed for a mug shot — notably with a grin — and had his bond set at $500 before being released.
But here’s where things get interesting…
His Lawyer Pushes Back
Lil Tjay’s attorney, Dawn Florio, is already pushing back hard against any narrative linking her client to the shooting.
According to her, Tjay’s arrest has “absolutely nothing to do” with Offset being shot.
That statement directly clashes with growing speculation online — especially after earlier reports suggested the fight may have escalated into gunfire.
So now, there are two competing narratives:
- Police say he was part of the fight before the shooting
- His legal team says he had nothing to do with the gun violence
And the truth? Still unfolding.
Offset’s Condition After the Shooting
Meanwhile, Offset is continuing his recovery after being shot near the same location.
Authorities have confirmed:
- His injuries were non-life-threatening
- He was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment
In a moment that quickly spread across social media, Offset was later seen:
- Sitting in a wheelchair
- Wearing a hospital gown
- Taking a cigarette break outside
It was his first public appearance since the incident — and it left fans both relieved and concerned.
A Timeline of the Chaos
To keep things clear, here’s a quick breakdown of how everything unfolded:
- Monday evening: Fight breaks out near the casino
- Moments later: Gunfire erupts, Offset is shot
- Shortly after: Police respond and investigate
- Tuesday: Lil Tjay is arrested, then released on bond
- Same day: He calls Offset a “rat” outside jail
But that’s not even the biggest twist…
The situation continues to evolve with conflicting accounts and unanswered questions.
Fans React to Lil Tjay’s Comments
As expected, social media wasted no time reacting — and the responses are split.
Some fans are backing Tjay:
- “He said he didn’t do it, let the facts come out.”
- “People jumping to conclusions too fast.”
Others are calling out his behavior:
- “Calling someone a rat after they got shot is wild.”
- “This whole situation is messy.”
And many are still focused on Offset:
- “Just glad Offset is okay.”
- “This could’ve ended way worse.”
The internet is watching closely — and picking sides.
Here’s Where Things Get Complicated…
Even with arrests made and statements released, key questions remain:
- Who actually fired the shot?
- Was Offset the intended target?
- Will additional charges be filed?
And perhaps most importantly…
Will tensions between Lil Tjay and Offset escalate even further?
Because based on how things are going, this situation is far from cooling down.

It highlights:

One comment. One video. One moment — and everything changes.
