Lil Tjay is thankful for those who’ve sent him well wishes as he recovers from a near-fatal shooting. Taking to Instagram Wednesday, the rapper spoke up for the first time since being shot at a New Jersey shopping center. 

“Hey, what’s going on, y’all, it’s your boy Tjay, man. I’m just checking in with y’all,” he said in a video shared on Instagram. “I just wanna say thanks for the love, thanks for the support. I been looking at the DMs … the comments and everything else, and I feel love.”

Tjay was shot in the thoracic cavity during an attempted robbery in June. He underwent emergency surgery and was unconscious but survived despite concerns he wouldn’t make it. 

“Seven shots, it was tough, you know?” the rapper said to his fans. “Most people don’t survive it, but I’m here. Here for a reason, and new music coming soon. We gonna come back stronger than ever. Love y’all.”

Suspect Mohamed Konate faces three counts of first-degree attempted murder, three counts of first-degree armed robbery and multiple weapons-related charges for his role in the attempted robbery-turned-shooting. Tjay’s friends Antoine Boyd and Jeffrey Valdez, who were present at the time, were also arrested on a second-degree unlawful possession of a weapon charge.

Tjay’s message follows reports of a New York City billboard announcing his imminent return.

Offset reportedly sues Quality Control Records over rights to his solo music

(Note Language) Offset is reportedly suing Migos’ record label for their failure to honor a deal made in 2021.

In court documents obtained by TMZ, the rapper claimed he negotiated a deal with Quality Control Records in which he “paid handsomely” for his artist rights, but in spite of that, the label is claiming credit for his newest single. 

“54321,” produced by Baby Keem, was released under Motown Records’ Universal Music Group. According to Offset, QC is claiming ownership of the song. The rapper is calling out the “hostile” act and asking the court to declare that he owns all rights to solo projects recorded from January 15, 2021, onward — including his upcoming single featuring Moneybagg Yo.

Getting wind of the suit, Quality Control CEO Pierre “P” Thomas responded to the allegations, seemingly alluding to Offset as the “problem.” “The last lawsuit was filed publicly and dismissed quietly,” he penned in a tweet. “Let’s see how this one go. Been to real for all this lame s***. Everyone know the real problem.”

Offset then replied, calling P out for attempting to take credit on his track after he bought himself out of his solo deal with the label.

“N**gas act like im the problem I paid millions to get my rights back,” the “Clout” rapper wrote. “N**ga you black balled me I ain’t said S*** one time homie I ain’t spoke to you in 2 years now I drop and you want ya name on my credit?”

Migos’ deal with QC remains in place.
