  • Offset’s Alleged ‘Get It Back In Blood’ Remark to Lil Tjay

    Recent events have brought a past dispute between rappers Offset and Lil Tjay back into the spotlight. Following Offset’s shooting outside a Florida casino and Lil Tjay’s subsequent arrest on unrelated charges, new details have emerged about their alleged financial disagreements.

    The $10K Debt and a Cryptic Response

    Last year, Lil Tjay publicly accused Offset of owing him $10,000 and allegedly refusing to pay it back, even suggesting the former Migos member had a gambling addiction. This led to a heated exchange on social media. Now, according to DJ Akademiks, who claims to have an upcoming interview with Lil Tjay, the situation escalated with a cryptic response from Offset.

    Akademiks revealed that when Lil Tjay asked Offset for his money back, Offset allegedly responded via direct message with the phrase, ‘N***a, get it back in blood.’ This alleged remark has added a layer of intrigue to their past conflict, especially in light of Offset’s recent shooting.

    Lil Tjay’s Attorney Denies Involvement

    It’s important to note that while Lil Tjay was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and driving without a valid license, his attorney, Dawn M. Florio, has vehemently denied any involvement in the shooting that injured Offset. Florio released a statement clarifying that Lil Tjay was not shot and has not been charged in connection with the incident, urging the public to rely on verified news sources.

    Offset is reportedly in stable condition following the shooting, which authorities state occurred after a fight. The exact circumstances surrounding the altercation remain unclear. The resurfacing of the alleged debt dispute, coupled with these recent events, has fueled speculation among fans and media outlets.

    Context of the Dispute

    The tension between the two artists first surfaced publicly early last year. Lil Tjay’s accusations pointed towards a significant sum owed and a potential gambling problem on Offset’s part, leading to public back-and-forth. DJ Akademiks’ recent comments suggest that Offset’s response to repaying the debt was dismissive and potentially ominous, adding another dimension to their history.

  • Lil Tjay Arrested in Florida Casino Shooting Involving Offset

    Rapper Lil Tjay has been arrested in Florida in connection with a shooting incident that occurred at the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood, reportedly involving fellow artist Offset. The altercation took place on Monday, April 6, and led to the Bronx rapper’s detention.

    Charges and Investigation Details

    According to the Seminole Police Department, Lil Tjay, whose real name is Tione Jayden Merritt, has been charged with disorderly conduct—affray, a first-degree misdemeanor in Florida. While speculation initially attempted to link him more directly to the shooting, officials have clarified that he is not facing any weapons-related charges. Merritt was booked into the Broward County Jail late Monday night.

    The police statement confirmed that a second individual detained at the scene has not been charged, and the investigation is ongoing to identify any other parties involved. Records indicate Lil Tjay is being held on a $500 bond for the disorderly conduct charge and an additional $2,500 bond for a separate traffic violation.

    Conflicting Reports and Attorney’s Statement

    The connection between Lil Tjay’s arrest and the shooting involving Offset was widely speculated, particularly given past tensions between the artists over an alleged gambling debt. However, early reports caused confusion, with some falsely claiming Lil Tjay had both shot Offset and was himself shot. His attorney, Dawn M. Florio, firmly denied these rumors, stating, ‘Lil Tjay has not been shot, nor has Lil Tjay been charged with any shooting. Any reporting to the contrary is false.’

    Florio urged the public to consult trusted news sources and verify information before spreading baseless rumors. She emphasized that Lil Tjay was not involved in the shooting that resulted in Offset’s non-life-threatening injuries.

    Offset’s Condition and Community Support

    Offset was transported to Memorial Regional Hospital for a ‘non-life-threatening’ injury. A representative confirmed he is stable and under close medical observation. While Offset has not personally commented, fans and fellow artists have begun sending well wishes for his recovery.

    The investigation into the casino incident is ongoing as authorities work to piece together the events that led to the shooting and determine if further charges will be filed against any individuals involved.
