Latest News about Lil Tjay
Lil Tjay was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct (affray) following a fight and reported shooting outside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, where rapper Offset was injured with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. Although arrested in connection with the incident, Lil Tjay's lawyer issued a statement denying he was charged with any shooting or involved in the actual shooting, asserting that reports claiming otherwise were false.
Lil Tjay announced his upcoming third studio album, titled 'They Just Ain't You,' scheduled for release on May 1, 2026, through his label TrenchKid Records and ADA. In a 2026 interview, the rapper discussed the album while reflecting on recent events including the Offset shooting incident and his admiration for Justin Bieber.
A lawsuit was filed alleging that Lil Tjay and his entourage were involved in a brawl at Madison Square Garden that left an NYPD security officer with severe, permanent spinal injuries. The officer, Przybyszewski, was transported to NYU Tisch Hospital and diagnosed with cervical spinal damage, including injuries to two discs, following the altercation with the rapper's group.
