The arrest comes after Tjay's lawyer denied his involvement in Offset's shooting.

“We are issuing this release in regards to false rumours that Lil Tjay was involved in a shooting which occurred at the Valet Area of the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood, which resulted in non-life-threatening injuries to Offset, formerly a member of Migos,” Attorney Dawn Florio said.

“Lil Tjay has not been shot, nor has Lil Tjay been charged with any shooting. 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 rumours,” she added.

Lil Tjay's mugshot revealed

The 24-year-old also had his mugshot taken while being held on a $500 bond.

According to the Seminole Police Department, Tjay was engaged in a confrontation before Offset was shot. Authorities stated that a second person was held at the location, but has not faced any charges.

Offset is ‘fine’

Offset was shot on Monday evening near the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL, as per the hip hop star's representative.

The representative further said that Offset is currently receiving medical treatment at a hospital, where he is reported to be in stable condition. The spokesperson mentioned that Offset is “fine,” but is under close observation.

Earlier, the Seminole Police Department released a statement confirming their awareness of an incident that took place in the hotel's valet area, where one person sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood.

Authorities also reported that two persons have been detained as part of the ongoing investigation, while hotel operations have resumed normalcy with no threat posed to the public.

Offset, a resident of the Atlanta region, is the father of three children with Cardi B and rose to prominence as a member of the musical group Migos.
