Lil Tjay and Offset's beef explained
DJ Akademiks' claim has revived interest in a long-running feud between rappers Offset and Lil Tjay, which began in January after the latter claimed the Migos rapper owed him money.
During a Twitch stream in January 2026, Lil Tjay accused Offset of being “broke,” claiming he loaned him up to $10,000 for casino gambling and was never repaid.
He alleged that he met him at a casino in a panicked mode look for money, and helped him out.
"Why I diss Offset? Offset is broke,” he said. “I’ll tell y’all a true story: I seen him in the casino. He was popped, he was panicking. He was asking random people for Cash Apps. He was broke.
“I don’t know what happened, nobody was answering his phone calls. He was trying to run up, chasing, chasing, chasing. He must have a gambling addiction," he said.
Offset hit back with a warning, claiming his colleague was probably speaking about the wrong person, but Lil Tjay did not relent. In March, he shared a post on Instagram flaunting jewellery and suggested the rapper was running from “lunch money.”
"I could never be broke like set (Offset) running off making smoke over lunch money. Ima have ta smoke on a hunnit streams for it to get to all that," he wrote.
Lil Tjay's comments angered Offset, who hit back in a social media post in which he challenged the Calling My Phone hitmaker to a one-on-one confrontation.
“Let’s hit on live, I’ll fly to you, this ain’t gon stop the ya fell off allegations. Meet me in New York. And give me a one-on-one live," he wrote.
The beef has resurfaced and sparked reactions on social media amid reports that Offset had been shot and Lil Tjay was reportedly in custody.
