Rapper Lil Tjay was not injured nor was he involved in a shooting in which Offset was wounded, according to his attorney.
“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,” Tjay’s attorney, Dawn M. Florio, shared in an Instagram statement late Monday, April 6, responding to social media speculation.
Florio continued, “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, 34, is the estranged husband of rapper Cardi B, with whom he shares three children: daughters Kulture, 7, and Blossom, 18 months, and son Wave, 4. (He also has three children from previous relationships.) Cardi filed for divorce from Offset in August 2024.
Offset’s Migos bandmate Takeoff was killed at age 28 in a shooting in Houston, Texas, in November 2022. Takeoff was fatally injured in an altercation over a high-stakes dice game, though he was said to be an innocent bystander in the incident.
Rap trio Migos — also featuring Quavo — shot to fame in the 2010s with hit songs like “Bad and Boujee.” The group disbanded in 2023 after Takeoff’s death.
