Rapper Lil Tjay was arrested and former Migos member Offset was hospitalized Monday night following a fight and reported shooting outside a South Florida casino.
Rapper Lil Tjay, whose real name is Tione Jayden Merritt, was booked into the Broward County jail following an incident at the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood.
Lil Tjay is charged with disorderly conduct – affray, which is a misdemeanor.
The incident began around 7 p.m. Monday in the valet area of the casino.
Police report a fight broke out that led to the injury of Kiari Kendrell Cephus, known professionally as Offset.
While TMZ reports that Offset was shot, a spokesperson told the outlet that the rapper is doing “fine.”

Officials confirmed Offset was taken to Memorial Regional Hospital for a non-life-threatening injury, but the exact nature of the injury has not been detailed by police.
It is also unclear what sparked the initial fight in the valet area.
Police detained one other person at the scene alongside Lil Tjay, but that individual has not been charged.
Investigators are still working to identify other individuals involved in the incident.
According to an Instagram post by Dawm M. Florio, an attorney representing Lil Tjay, the rapper was not involved in the shooting and was not injured by gunfire.
Before finding solo success, Offset helped turn the trio Migos into global stars from their home base in Gwinnett County.
Raised just minutes northeast of Atlanta alongside his cousin Takeoff and uncle Quavo, the group changed hip-hop with hits like “Versace” and two No. 1 albums.
This latest incident comes more than three years after his cousin Takeoff was shot and killed at a Houston bowling alley in 2022.
