Lil Tjay Arrested Following Incident Near Offset Shooting
Rapper Lil Tjay was taken into custody in Florida on charges of disturbing the peace, though his legal team maintains he was not involved in the nearby shooting of Offset.
In a developing story out of Florida, rapper Lil Tjay was arrested on the evening of Monday, April 6, 2026. Authorities booked the artist into the Broward County Jail on a charge of disturbing the peace, specifically related to allegations of fighting.
The arrest occurred in the immediate vicinity of a casino where a separate, more serious incident involving fellow artist Offset took place. Reports indicate that Lil Tjay was apprehended following a physical altercation that preceded the shooting of the Migos member.
Despite the proximity of the two events, Lil Tjay’s legal representatives have been quick to address the situation and distance their client from the violence. In a formal statement, his lawyer explicitly denied any involvement in the brawl or the subsequent shooting, asserting, “Lil Tjay was not hit by bullets, nor was he accused of any shooting. Any news to the contrary is false.”
As the investigation continues, the legal team remains focused on clearing the rapper’s name regarding the more severe allegations. The incident has drawn significant attention due to the high-profile nature of the artists involved and the chaotic circumstances surrounding the evening at the Florida casino.
