A spokesperson for Offset told Variety that the rapper has now been released from the hospital and is recovering well.

About Offset getting shot outside a casino

He was shot on Monday night following a fight at the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood, just north of Miami. He was taken to the hospital, where his team earlier said he was stable and under close observation.

Police said two people were detained after the incident, and the investigation is still ongoing. Lil Tjay, born Tione Jayden Merritt, was arrested in connection with the altercation that occurred before the shooting, the Seminole Police Department in Florida said.

He was charged with disorderly conduct and operating a vehicle without a valid license and was later released from jail the next day. The second person detained at the scene has not been charged, and investigators were working to identify others involved, police said in a statement on Tuesday.

After reports linked Lil Tjay to the shooting, his lawyer denied the claims. In a statement, attorney Dawn M. Florio said, “Lil Tjay has not been shot, nor has Lil Tjay been charged with any shooting. Any reporting to the contrary is false.”
