Offset’s spokesperson also extended gratitude to the hospital staff, including the doctors and nurses, for the care provided during his hospitalization.

Investigation and Legal Developments

The shooting has led to legal action involving another artist. Police reported that rapper Lil Tjay was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct in connection with the shooting on the night of the incident.

Police spokesperson Gary Bitney informed NBC News that a second individual was detained at the scene, though that person has not been charged.

Legal representation for Lil Tjay has contested these reports. Attorney Dawn M. Florio denied the rapper’s involvement in the shooting, characterizing the accusations as rumors.

Lil Tjay has not been shot, nor has Lil Tjay been charged with any shooting. Any reporting to the contrary is false
