Lil Tjay’s back on the streets after being arrested for his alleged role in a fight that happened right before Offset was shot in Florida last night.
The Broward County Sheriff’s Office bid the rapper farewell Tuesday afternoon. He walked out of the jail to find a large group of media waiting for him. As a result, the moment quickly turned into a public statement.
Lil Tjay called Offset a “rat n****” while simultaneously denying he shot Offset. He’s really heated in the clip and is seen walking with purpose out of the jail. The moment was captured on video and quickly circulated online.
As the situation continues to develop, both artists have remained at the center of public attention. The comments made by Lil Tjay have added another layer to an already serious situation.
Details Surrounding Lil Tjay’s Arrest And Charges
Lil Tjay was arrested for misdemeanor disorderly conduct-affray. Authorities confirmed that the charge is related to an altercation that occurred prior to the shooting incident. He posed for a mug shot, in which he’s got a grin on his face. Additionally, his bond was set at $500. The relatively low bond amount reflects the misdemeanor nature of the charge.
According to reports, law enforcement responded to the situation after receiving calls about a fight. Officers later identified Lil Tjay as one of the individuals involved in the disturbance. At this time, there have been no additional charges connected to the shooting itself. Officials have not publicly named a suspect responsible for the shooting.
What Happened Before Offset Was Shot In Florida
According to the Seminole Police Department, Lil Tjay was involved in a fight prior to Offset being shot near the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
Investigators believe the altercation may have contributed to the events that followed. However, officials have not confirmed a direct connection between the fight and the shooting.
Offset was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Emergency responders transported him shortly after the incident.
We previously shared video of him puffing on a cigarette while outside the hospital Tuesday morning, just hours after the shooting.
