Overview
- Offset, 34, was wounded Monday evening near the valet at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, and a spokesperson says he is stable and being closely monitored at Memorial Regional Hospital.
- Seminole Police detained two people at the scene and later arrested rapper Lil Tjay on misdemeanor disorderly conduct related to the altercation, along with a driving-without-a-license charge, but he was not charged with the shooting.
- An arrest affidavit described the incident as an affray that preceded the gunfire and alleged a male associated with Lil Tjay discharged a firearm, while police continue to seek additional individuals and have not named a shooter.
- Videos of a confrontation circulated online after the incident and fueled false claims about Lil Tjay’s role, which his attorney denied, as new photos published by TMZ showed Offset in a wheelchair at the hospital.
- Reporting has noted prior tensions tied to an alleged gambling debt between the artists and recalled the 2022 shooting death of Migos member Takeoff, while authorities emphasize the current investigation remains active and the site is secure.
