It seems the tension between Lil Tjay and Offset might be cooling down. Following a highly publicized shooting incident involving Offset and Lil Tjay’s subsequent arrest, the rapper’s energy has taken a surprising turn. In a recent chat with TMZ, Lil Tjay declared he has no ongoing issues with the former Migos member.
Promoting New Music Amidst Confusion
“I ain’t got no beef for nobody, brother,” Lil Tjay told the interviewer, before pivoting to promote his upcoming album, ‘They Just Ain’t You,’ set for release on May 1st. He hinted that the project would feature plenty of “controversial sh*t,” encouraging fans to stream it if they’re looking for that kind of content.
This statement comes after Lil Tjay expressed his own confusion regarding the shooting incident. In a previous interview with Billboard, he mentioned his lawyer advised him not to discuss the details too much but stated, “I’m just as confused as everyone else about that.” He also alluded to the album hitting home for his fans.
Past Accusations and Legal Clarifications
This newfound calm contrasts sharply with Lil Tjay’s earlier fiery remarks. After his release from jail, he had publicly accused Offset of being a “rat” and claimed Offset had looked at him saying, “that n**** shot me.” He even stated he would “smack the sh*t out of Offset.”
However, Lil Tjay’s attorney, Dawn Florio, clarified the legal situation. She stated that Lil Tjay was only being investigated for creating a disturbance, not for any involvement in the shooting itself. “As far as I’m aware, there’s no charges related to shooting Offset. There’s video everywhere — there’s no video that shows that Tjay is involved in any of this,” Florio explained. Tjay was indeed charged with disorderly conduct shortly after the incident outside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
Moving Forward
Offset, who was initially quite vocal about the situation, calling Tjay a snitch, has also appeared to calm down. He recently spoke about adopting a “Gladiator mentality” to keep pushing forward, focusing on his music and moving past the “distractions” and “wrong places at the wrong time” moments. Both artists seem ready to move on from the controversy and focus on their careers.
