10 April 2026, 11:42

Migos member and Cardi B’s ex-husband, Offset, was shot, with fellow rapper Lil Tjay arrested in connection with a fight prior to the shooting. Amid Cardi's reconnection with Stefon Diggs, what happened to Offset? Who shot Offset? Was it Lil Tjay? Here are all the details.

Offset was shot on April 6th, following an altercation with rapper Lil Tjay, who was later arrested for his role in the fight – but did Lil Tjay shoot Offset? What happened to Offset amid his divorce from Cardi B?

The Migos rapper was pictured for the first time following the attack at the Florida Casino.

The 34-year-old could be seen dressed in a hospital gown, sitting in a wheelchair, having a cigarette, looking rather depleted.

Lil Tjay on the other hand, was released from prison the day after the attack, and spoke on his involvement with the alleged fight and shooting, some fans saying he said too much.

He said: “I didn't do no d**n fighting. Did I shoot Offset? That's crazy. I'll smack the s**t out of that n***a."

But now, allegations of Offset allegedly owing people money are beginning to surface, including from the 24-year-old rapper who supposedly fought him.

A screenshot of what appears to be from Lil Tjay’s close friend's story on Instagram has been making the rounds on social media, and shows an exchange in the DMs between the two rap artists over money.

In the messages, Lil Tjay can be seen asking for the money he lent the Migos star, and Offset seems to be riling him up.

Offset writes: “I’m in New York right now. Come smack me lil boy.”

Lil Tjay responds: “Nah, never tht lil bro I just want my ten.”

Lil Tjay captioned the post: “Do not loan offset no money he’s popeeddddd lol just in case.”

This isn’t the only person claiming to be owed money, though, with American footballer Dez Bryant taking to Twitter to put forward his own story.

Dez wrote: “I beat offset out of 8k he tried to take a nap on me, and I go to tap on him to wake him up.”

He continued: “His patnas saw me tapping on him..I can tell his patnas wanted to jump on some bulls**t..I chilled because I was by myself, completely out numbered.. so I charged it to the game.”

Whilst both the ‘Run It Up’ rapper and Dez’s allegations are not verified, this does give a picture of why the two may have been allegedly fighting on the night of the shooting.

One more person, believed to be Lil Tjay’s associate, was also arrested, but no one has been charged in relation to the actual shooting of Offset.

What is Offset's net worth in 2026?

As part of Migos, the rapper was one of the most influential artists in the hip-hop scene.

He is estimated to be worth roughly $40 million (£29.7 million).

However, in light of recent allegations, this may now be lower.
