Lil TJay’s team is denying rumors that he was arrested in connection with the shooting of rapper Offset.
TJay’s reported lawyer, Dawn M. Florio, said in a statement shared to Instagram that the rapper “has not been shot, nor has Lil Tjay been charged with any shooting.”
The statement continued, “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.”
TJay was reportedly arrested on Monday on disorderly conduct (affray) and operating a vehicle without a valid license charges, according to Broward County Jail records.
As previously reported, Offset was wounded in a shooting late Monday near a popular Florida destination.
The incident occurred in the vicinity of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, leaving the former Migos member hospitalized as authorities begin a preliminary investigation into the violence.
A representative for the rapper confirmed the shooting on Tuesday morning and provided a brief update on his status. “We can confirm Offset was shot and is currently at the hospital receiving medical care,” the representative said.
