That sh*t is crazy. I would smack the sh*t out of Offset. He would never play with me like that in his life. Ask Offset."
Fans on social media have been having mixed reactions to Tjay's comments. "He would still be in jail if offset said he shot him not out next day," one user replied to DJ Akademiks on X (formerly Twitter). Another added: "Just casually dry snitch on himself, stupid ass n***a."
