The reported message comes amid broader tensions between the two artists. Last year, Lil Tjay publicly accused Offset of owing him $10,000 and alleged that the rapper struggled with a gambling problem, as noted by the New York Post, sparking heated exchanges on social media.
DJ Akademiks' disclosure adds a new layer to the ongoing feud.
Lil Tjay was recently arrested, but his attorney clarified that the arrest was unrelated to any violent incidents.
Dawn M. Florio, representing Lil Tjay, issued a statement emphasizing the facts, "We are issuing this release in regards to false rumors 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. 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 rumors."
The recent revelation adds tension to an already combustible history between the rappers. Offset was shot outside a Florida casino on April 6, 2026, following a fight, and is in stable condition at a local hospital. Lil Tjay is yet to be linked to the shooting, and the case continues.
The live stream by DJ Akademiks indicates that more information will come out from the interview he will conduct with Lil Tjay, which might provide further insight into the tension between the two rappers and the threat letter.
