Lil Tjay claims Offset is “broke” because of alleged gambling addiction
Bronx emcee Lil Tjay has acknowledged Cardi B and Offset’s messy divorce and, more specifically, has spoken about the latter’s finances, claiming that the Migos rapper is “broke” and alleged he has a serious gambling addiction.
That said, during a Twitch stream on January 8th, Lil Tjay asserted that on one occasion, at a casino, he saw the former Migos member begging people for money because he had suffered severe losses and had a losing streak.
Speaking on the livestream, Lil Tjay told viewers, “Why I diss Offset? Offset is broke. I’ll tell y’all a true story: I seen the n*gga in the casino. He was popped, he was panicking. He was asking random people for Cash Apps. He was broke.”
The Bronx native continued, “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.”
Lil Tjay then proceeded to allege that he once gave Offset money, insisting that he loaned him $5,000. Furthermore, he stated that other people in the casino had given Offset large sums of money. Still, according to the New Yorker, Offset never paid the money back, stating, “I see like 13 bands in loans. I don’t know who got paid back that day. This n*gga’s ducked me for so long, boy. Mind you, I’m 23, and this is ‘raindrop, drop-top,’ Cardi B’s husband.”
Lil Tjay’s comments come shortly after alleged messages between himself and Offset leaked online, in which he threatened to “smack” the Migos member for failing to repay the $10,000 debt. One message read, “Wyaaaaaaaa ngl ima smack the whole shit out you.”
“[L]ol huh u joking right? Just seen this pop-up, u gotta be the wrong n*gga u texting boy, I’ll smoke you.” He continued, “U barely lived already who tf you think you talking too n*gga. U gotta be talking to the wrong n*gga. I’m in New York right now. Come smack me lil boy.”
After being informed by Tjay that he was in Miami, Offset wrote, “If it’s that stop dm me for trace reasons.” Tjay responded, “Nah, never that lil bro I just want my ten [salute emoji].” Trying to calm down the tension, Offset responded, “Say dat.”
Offset hasn’t directly responded to the assertion that he owes Tjay money, but from his social media, it doesn’t seem he is short of money as he openly shared that he spent the New Year in Dubai enjoying some luxury shopping. The Atlanta native was also seen with rumoured his girlfriend, model Melanie Jayda, at Chanel store in the Middle Eastern hotspot. According to media outlet TMZ, the supposed couple spent the best part of $100,000 in the store. Still, this is 10 times what he allegedly owes Lil Tjay.
