Lil Tjay Arrested Amid Offset Shooting, Denies Involvement
The Hard Rock was one of the most eventful casinos in Florida on Monday, as Offset wasn’t the only rapper making headlines. The Seminole Police Department arrested Lil Tjay on a disorderly conduct charge amid the shooting, as well as operating a vehicle without a valid license.
However, Lil Tjay’s lawyer, Dawn M. Florio, denied the rapper’s involvement in the shooting with an Instagram post on Tuesday. It claims that the rumors that Lil Tjay was involved in a shooting are false, and that “Lil Tjay has not been shot, nor has Lil Tjay been charged with any shooting. Any reporting to the contrary is false.”
Hard Rock is one of the best legal casinos in terms of security, as Seminole Police arrived on the scene immediately and quickly contained the situation. Officers detained two people and blocked off the valet area with crime tape while the hotel continued operating as normal. The casino resumed normal operations shortly after the incident.
