\n\tAccording to arrest records<\/a>, the New York native born Tione Merritt was booked into the Broward County Jail on a $500 bond. A spokesperson for the Seminole Police Department told Billboard<\/em> in a statement on Tuesday (April 7) that one person was charged \u201cin connection with the incident that took place Monday night at a valet area outside of Seminole Hard Rock,\u201d referring to the altercation at the hotel-casino that left the Migos star hospitalized<\/a> with non-life threatening injuries. After identifying the 24-year-old rapper as the man charged with disorderly conduct, the spokesperson noted that \u201cthe incident began with an affray, or fight. Merritt was booked into the Broward County Jail late last night.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tIn a statement shared with Billboard<\/em>, Lil Tjay\u2019s lawyer,\u00a0Dawn M. Florio, asserted that any claims about her client being involved in Offset\u2019s shooting are \u201cfalse rumors.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cLil Tjay has not been shot, nor has Lil Tjay been charged with any shooting,\u201d she said. \u201cAny 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBillboard <\/em>has also reached out to reps for Offset for comment. The police spokesperson added in his statement that the Migos rapper remains hospitalized.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe news comes the morning after Offset \u2014 real name Kiari Cephus \u2014 was transported to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood, Fla., after sustaining gunshot-related injuries. \u201cWe can confirm Offset was shot and is currently at the hospital receiving medical care,\u201d his rep told Billboard<\/em> on Monday. \u201cHe is stable and being closely monitored.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPolice also said Monday night that two individuals had been detained, but that the investigation is ongoing. The second person who was detained at the scene has not been charged at press time. Added the Seminole Police Dept. spokesperson on Tuesday, \u201cThe investigation to identify one or more additional persons involved in the incident is ongoing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAt 24 years old, Lil Tjay has scored a number of hits on the Billboard Hot 100<\/a>, as well as five entries on the Billboard 200<\/a>. He and Offset have collaborated in the past, teaming up alongside Moneybagg Yo on \u201cRun It Up,\u201d which appears on Lil Tjay\u2019s 2021 album Destined 2 Win<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tLil Tjay has had brushes with the law in the past, having spent a year <\/a>in a detention center after being arrested for robbery as a teenager. He also has his own experience with gun violence, suffering injuries after being shot several times<\/a> during an attempted robbery in 2022.<\/p>\n
