Lil Tjay is one of The Bronx's most beloved storytellers and street narrators right now, although other hip-hop fans like Adin Ross would heartily disagree. For those unaware, the two have traded blows in recent months, and the latest chapter in this saga surprisingly came in the form of Tjay's new single, "Can't Change."
On the track, he ponders on his harsh upbringing, the survival instinct instilled in him, and trying to change his ways to reflect his change in surroundings. Via Instagram, the New York MC tagged the streamer in a post featuring the new record's first verse with the message "tis some shii you'll just NEVA understand ... [bandaged heart emoji]" in the caption, as caught by DJ Akademiks TV on IG.
Lil Tjay's criticized Adin Ross before, whether through his claims of Ross being a "culture vulture" or going at livestreaming culture at large in hip-hop. Via this message, it seems like he's telling Adin that he will never understand what he grew up through and how that informed him to this day, minimizing the weight of their online spats.

Why Is Lil Tjay Beefing With Adin Ross?
For those unaware, Lil Tjay's beef with Adin Ross stems from a Kai Cenat and Kodak Black stream that had many worrying over Kodak's appearance and demeanor. He took this opportunity to call Ross and Cenat out as alleged exploiters, although he had much more smoke for Adin.
"I told Adin he a culture vulture, he told me I'm on percs," Tjay had expressed. "I don't take percs, don't take drugs. F***ing racist n***a. I look like I take percs because I'm Black, right? I know."
Adin Ross has trolled Lil Tjay in response, whether indirectly via a diss track with 6ix9ine and Cuffem or directly via social media messages and clap-backs. Why Tjay found it relevant to tag Ross this time around, we don't know.
However, we doubt that this will be the last time the rapper and streamer metaphorically tussle, whether it's with each other or with other folks in the rap and streaming worlds. It's a nothing-burger of a beef, but a representative one nonetheless.
