A spokesperson for the artist confirmed the news on Tuesday morning, stating: “We can confirm Offset was shot and is currently at the hospital receiving medical care. He is stable and being closely monitored.”
Details of the Investigation
According to reports from WPLG Local 10, the shooting took place at approximately 7 p.m. in the valet area of the casino property. Seminole Police have confirmed that two individuals have been detained in connection with the event. While the investigation remains ongoing, authorities are working to piece together the sequence of events that led to the violence.
Addressing Public Speculation
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, social media and various media personalities began circulating rumors regarding the involvement of other artists. Specifically, DJ Akademiks suggested on a live stream that New York rapper Lil Tjay was involved and that the incident stemmed from gambling debts.
These claims were swiftly refuted by Lil Tjay’s legal counsel, Dawn M. Florio. In a statement released via Instagram, Florio clarified that her client “has not been shot, nor has Lil Tjay been charged with any shooting.” She further urged the public to refrain from spreading baseless rumors during an active investigation.
