Offset, the former Migos rapper, was shot after a fight at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida on Monday. While he is doing okay, fellow rapper Lil Tjay was arrested over the incident.
He allegedly started the fight that led to his associate shooting Offset, TMZ reported police say. Cops claimed Lil Tjay ‘directed members of his party to start a fight with another group of males’, as per the report. During this altercation, someone pulled out a gun and Offset was hurt in the process.
Lil Tjay reportedly hopped out of his vehicle, pointed at Offset, and then led his group over to the rapper, where the fight broke out. As per the report, Lil Tjay filmed the incident on his phone and the fight had continued until cops showed up there.

While an exact cause for the altercation is not known yet, several people on social media speculated it was over money Offset owed Lil Tjay. In 2025, it was reported that Lil Tjay claimed Offset had ducked out on a loan of $10,000. Amid this, others too came forward with claims that Offset owed them money.
Former NFL player Dez Bryant wrote “I beat offset out of 8k he tried to take a nap on me.” Ibrahim Jamil "Ebro" Darden, former radio personality, also claimed that Offset owed him $5000 for a bet they made.
One person directly asked on X “Offset broke?”. They shared alleged message screenshots, showing Offset allegedly telling Lil Tjay to get the $10,000 back ‘in blood’. “Come get it back in blood,” the alleged exchange between the two read.
These claims have put a lot of focus on Offset's net worth. Here's all you need to know about it.
Offset net worth
Offset is estimated to have a net worth of about $40 million, as of 2026, as per Celebrity Net Worth. He rose to fame with Migos, known for tracks like Bad and Boujee, but went on to carve his own space as a solo artist as well.
Notably, $10,000 pales in comparison when his estimated wealth is taken into account. Big Homie CC, a celebrity bodyguard, weighed in on the issue, claiming that Offset had money to pay Lil Tjay off, addressing claims of the rapper being broke.
“He just thinks Tjay a goofy, he got the money to pay all that fr, buh that’s how he is, he’d take whatever,” Big Homie CC said.
Meanwhile, Lil Tjay was arrested and booked into the Broward County Jail after the shooting and charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct-affray. He was released on Tuesday and issued a chilling warning to Offset.
What Lil Tjay said about Offset
A video showed Lil Tjay calling Offset a ‘rat’ after he was released from jail. The rapper's anger on the former Migos member reportedly stemmed from the fact that Offset had said someone had shot him after the fight in the casino broke out.
Offset, meanwhile, is recovering at the hospital where he was transported after the shooting. TMZ reported he was wheeled outside for a cigarette in the morning.
