Lil Tjay

<p>There was an unfortunate run-in with the law yesterday after <a href="/profile/LilTjay" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Lil Tjay</a> was arrested. The New York rapper was reportedly in the Bronx with his team when he was pulled over for a traffic stop. According to reports, Tjay was on his way to film a music video with the city&#8217;s<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/420766-who-is-ice-spice-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> rising hitmaker, Ice Spice</a>. However, after his vehicle was searched, police allegedly located a firearm.</p>



<p>Videos of Tjay being escorted to a police vehicle have surfaced on the internet. Bystanders recorded the incident, and one person even shouted out to the rapper, asking him if he was okay.</p>

<p>Following the widespread initial reports, <em>TMZ</em> returned with an update. The outlet was said to have spoken with the rapper&#8217;s attorney, Dawn Florio. The lawyer is no stranger to taking on<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/401368-teen-rapper-c-blu-arrested-accused-of-shooting-cop-report-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> high-profile clients.</a></p>



<p>Florio reportedly doesn&#8217;t believe that those officers legally searched Tjay&#8217;s car. The rapper was said to have been a passenger &#8220;with several other people,&#8221; not the driver. Further, Florio added the car was legally parked on the street and didn&#8217;t warrant police attention.</p>

<p>Because Tjay posted on social media about filming the &#8220;Gangsta Boo&#8221; music video with Ice Spice, Florio suggested police were on the prowl. That hasn&#8217;t been confirmed, but the investigation is ongoing.</p>



<p>Last summer, Lil Tjay faced a harrowing ordeal after he was<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/428265-lil-tjay-undergoing-emergency-surgery-after-shooting-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> shot seven times </a>during a botched robbery. It took months for the rapper to recover, but he is doing much better and has returned to his career full force.</p>
