AceShowbiz - Lil Tjay didn't let his trouble with the law stop him from celebrating his 23rd birthday. The "Gangsta Boo" rapper, who was arrested in Miami on an outstanding warrant, proceeded to party up with his friends after he posted a $500 bond.
Making use of Instagram, the emcee shared a video of him having fun with scantily-clad women while showing off his wealth. In the accompanying message, he wrote, "HESSSSSS BACKKKKKK."
Prior to that, Tjay shared several pictures of him on a private jet. He captioned it, "I AINT HEAR NUN THE BLOGS SAID CAUSE WHERE IM AT IT AINT NO SERVICE … 500 ON MY BDAY SHI** BOUT NUN I DESERVE IT."
Meanwhile, on Instagram Story, the "Resume" rhymer argued, "I ain't gonna lie it tickle me a lil bit." The artist, who walked towards a private jet, continued, "They violated me on my birthday but look, it's another jet!"
Born Tione Jayden Merritt, Tjay was taken into custody on April 30 after landing at Miami-Opa Locka airport to mark his latest milestone. According to a report from Complex, The Bronx native was detained for an outstanding warrant from September 2021 that was issued due to a missed court date.
This marks Tjay's latest run-in with the law since his June 2023 arrest in Manhattan. At that time, he live-streamed himself and told cops to "not touch" him, before asking why he's arrested.
"Nah. Do not touch me, bro," Tjay told officers while standing next to his car. "What am I under arrest for?" When one of the officers told him to turn around, he responded, "No, n***a. 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."
His phone ended up in someone else's hand as Tjay was being surrounded by cops. Some people in the crowd were heard telling him to stop resisting arrest.
