Offset has responded to Lil Tjay following the Bronx native’s explosive interview Tuesday (April 7), during which he called the Migos rapper a “rat” while leaving Broward County Jail in Florida.
“U ain’t buss nun,” Set taunted Tjay in the comment section of a The Shade Room Teens post about Lil Tjay’s comment.
Lil Tjay — whose real name is Tione Merritt — was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct in connection with the shooting of Offset outside the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Fla, on Monday evening (April 6), a representative for the Seminole Police Department previously told Billboard in a statement.
The “Calling My Phone” rapper dissed Offset while describing the shooting to reporters after posting his $500 bond on Tuesday afternoon (April 7).
“The last thing I seen was Offset looking at me like this, ‘Yo, that n—a shot me. That n—a shot me.’ La la la. N—a is a rat. N—a is a rat. I don’t do no damn fighting,” he said. “I didn’t do no damn fighting. Did I shoot Offset? That s–t is crazy.”
Tjay continued: “I’ll slap the s–t out of Offset. He would never play with me like that in his life.”
The Seminole Police Department rep said that “the incident began with an affray, or fight. Merritt was booked into the Broward County Jail late last night.”
Tjay’s lawyer, Dawn Florio, pushed back against reports associating Tjay with the Offset shooting, calling them “false rumors.”
“Lil Tjay has not been shot, nor has Lil Tjay been charged with any shooting,” she said in a statement shared with Billboard. “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 was shot in the valet area of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Monday. The Migos rapper was transported to the Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood, Fla., where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries and remained hospitalized as of Tuesday. “We can confirm Offset was shot and is currently at the hospital receiving medical care,” a rep for Offset told Billboard on Monday. “He is stable and being closely monitored.”
