Offset was shot in Florida earlier this week after an alleged altercation with Lil Tjay, and both sides are sharing their stories.

Offset has been dealing with a lot of scrutiny following his shooting in Florida after an alleged altercation with Lil Tjay. Amid his recovery, his beef with Tjay is still causing conversation, whereas others are scrutinizing the former Migo's alleged gambling problems. Now, via an email release from 'Set's team today (Friday, April 10), he has released an official statement on the matter.

"Thank you to everyone who’s checked in on me and showed me love!" he wrote. "I’m good….but I’m planning to be better! I’m focused on my family, my recovery, and getting back to the music. Realizing that life is made up of quiet wins and loud losses…. Life’s a gamble and I’m still playing to win. $ET."

"Offset has been released from the hospital and he is up and walking," a spokesperson for the Georgia rapper stated. "We’re incredibly grateful to the doctors, nurses, and the entire hospital staff who took such great care of him."

Fortunately, it seems like he has fully and successfully recovered from the shooting. The exact details of that incident remain unclear per official sources.

As for Lil Tjay's side of the Offset story, his lawyer issued the following statement after his arrest. "We are issuing this release in regards to false rumors that Lil Tjay was involved in a shooting which occurred at the Valet Area of the Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood which resulting in non-life threatening injuries to Offset, formerly a member of Migos. Lil Tjay has not been shot, nor has Lil Tjay been charged with any shooting. Any reporting to the contrary is false. We encourage people to consult trusted news sources, and to verify the accuracy of any reporting, before reflexively sharing or repeating baseless rumors."

For those unaware, Offset and Lil Tjay's beef allegedly stems from gambling money the former owed the latter. Tjay accused 'Set of being a snitch, whereas the latter denied the former was the one to shoot him. He also taunted the New York MC online, so this feud is far from over. But the specific details around these developments remain largely unclear at press time.
