At the time of his hospitalisation, his representative described him as “stable and being closely monitored.” Two people were detained by police in connection with the incident, with the investigation still ongoing.

The same night, rapper Lil Tjay was arrested and booked into Broward County Jail on a disorderly conduct charge, with bail set at $500, along with a traffic violation carrying a $2,500 bond. 

He was released the following day, referring to Offset as a “rat” as he left the building.
