Whew, Roommates! Offset just can’t seem to catch a break. While bouncing back after getting shot near Florida’s Hard Rock Hotel and Casino this week, the rapper has reportedly landed in some legal trouble with a Detroit casino over a six-figure debt.
According to TMZ, Detroit’s MotorCity Casino Hotel is suing Offset, claiming he opened a $100,000 credit line to keep a night of gambling going back in March 2024. The casino claims they couldn’t reach the former Migos member, so they tried to withdraw the money from his account, as agreed when he opened the line. But when they went to collect, there allegedly wasn’t enough cash to cover the debt.
Now, the casino has reportedly filed a lawsuit against him for breach of contract, fraud, and more related allegations. Despite the legal heat, a representative for Offset has reportedly told TMZ they are “working toward a resolution.” Per Complex, the casino filed the lawsuit on March 30, just a week before Offset was shot outside of Florida’s Hard Rock Hotel and Casino on April 6.
Offset had fans shook and timelines blowing up after reports revealed that he was shot on Monday, April 6. Even though he’s in stable condition now, rumors and new details about the incident have continued to surface. Shortly after the incident, TMZ reported that Lil Tjay was taken into custody and after getting into a fight with Offset right before gunshots rang out. Tjay’s charges included “disorderly conduct” and “operating a vehicle without a valid license.” His bond was set at $500 for the conduct charge and $2,500 for the traffic violation. His booking record didn’t mention Offset’s shooting or any gun-related incidents.
On top of that, Tjay’s lawyer, Dawn M. Florio, denied that he had anything to do with the shooting and called any claims “baseless rumors.” However, Seminole police reportedly detained a second unnamed person at the Hollywood, Florida casino but they reportedly have not been charged as of yet.
Lil Tjay was later released from jail on Tuesday, April 7. A clip on NBC 6 South Florida’s official Instagram account showed him speaking with reporters while walking out. He said he wasn’t involved in any altercations.
“Did I shoot Offset? That s**t is crazy Ill smack the s**t out of Offset. He would never play with me like that in his life.”
He then called out Offset for spreading false claims that he fired shots at him.The last thing I seen was Offset looking at me like this, Yo, that n***a shot me. That n***a shot me […] N***a is a rat. Offset seemed to peep Tjay’s comments and jumped on his Instagram Story with a message that read,“U aint buss nun.”
