Offset has spoken out after being shot outside a Florida casino, firing back at rival Lil Tjay after the rapper accused him of snitching. The Migos star, 34, appeared to respond in the comments of an Instagram post by The Shade Room Teens after Tjay claimed Offset identified him as the shooter in the chaotic aftermath. “U ain’t buss nun,” Offset wrote on Instagram Tuesday. Police claim Tjay, whose real name is Tione Merritt, “directed members of his party to start a fight” Monday night at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, before one person in the group allegedly shot Offset in the valet area. Lil Tjay, 24, claimed that after the shooting, Offset accused him of being the shooter. He added: “N---- is a rat, n----. … I didn’t do no damn fighting. Did I shoot? That s--- is crazy. I will smack the s--- out of Offset. He would never play like that with me in his life. Ask Offset.” Tjay was arrested on a disorderly conduct-affray charge before being released, and has denied involvement. Offset was hospitalized with a non-life-threatening injury and is said to be stable.
