Lil Tjay was arrested in New York yesterday (June 6th) while live on Instagram. According to TMZ, in the video, the rapper is seen telling NYPD not to touch him. He said, “No, bro. Hell no. What’s in the car? I don’t know what’s in the car. Don’t touch me. There’s no firearm in the car.” Tjay was handcuffed shortly after.
The rapper's lawyer Dawn Florio told the site that he was filming a music video when the police arrived and arrested him for reckless endangerment — not gun possession as was assumed by fans watching the live video. Billboard has reached out the rapper’s label, Florio and NYPD for confirmation and more information.
