Lil Tjay Calls Offset a 'Rat' After Release From Florida Jail Following Shooting
Rapper Lil Tjay called Offset a 'rat' while leaving a Florida jail Tuesday after posting bond. He was arrested for his alleged role in a fight that happened before Offset was shot in Florida Monday night.
Lil Tjay walked out of Broward County jail Tuesday afternoon after posting bond and immediately attacked Offset in front of waiting reporters. NBC cameras caught the 'Calling My Phone' rapper calling the former Migos member a 'rat' and making threats.
Tjay was arrested for his alleged involvement in a fight that occurred right before someone shot Offset in Florida Monday night. However, Tjay denied shooting Offset and insisted they had not fought.
The Broward County Sheriff's Office released Tjay Tuesday afternoon. He used the crowd of media outside the jail to denounce Offset but did not explain why he called him a 'rat' - street slang for someone who cooperates with police.
Tjay vehemently denied being the shooter during his brief comments to reporters. Details about Offset's condition and the shooting investigation are still emerging.
This escalates tensions between two major rap artists after a violent incident. Hip-hop feuds have historically led to more violence, affecting fans and the music industry.
Police investigation into the Florida shooting continues. Potential charges against Tjay may follow.
