Lil Tjay Was Allegedly Arrested For Gun Possession On The Way To Film A Music Video With Ice Spice

Rapper Lil Tjay may have beat the odds stacked against him, but he’s falling into one of the biggest traps set for rappers, random encounters with local law enforcement. After surviving multiple gunshot wounds during a botched robbery attempt last June, the rapper has made a triumphant return to music, but it may come to a screeching halt.

According to TMZ, Lil Tjay was arrested while on the way to film a music video for the song “Gangsta Boo,” a collaboration with fellow Bronx native Ice Spice. In their reporting, the rapper has been charged with gun possession. Video quickly surfaced online of a person who looks like the musician being detained and then quickly escorted by New York City Police officers while handcuffed into a squad car.

Instead of canceling the video shoot after learning of Lil Tjay’s arrest, Spice shifted gears to film a video instead for her song “In Ha Mood.”

With rappers like Young Thug’s lyrics being used against him during his current RICO case in the state of Georgia, things don’t look good for Lil Tjay. Not only does Lil Tjay have prior arrests for gun possession, amongst other things, on his record, but in his music, he has often rapped about keeping weapons on his person.

Little is known at this time. But we will keep you updated as more information is released.

Lil Tjay Arrested For Gun Possession: Report

He spent months preparing himself for a new season of his career, but today (January 16), Lil Tjay has been arrested. Last summer, his fans sent him well wishes and prayers after he was attacked in New Jersey. He suffered several injuries after reportedly being shot seven times during a botched robbery.

Following a lengthy recovery, Tjay has returned to entertaining his fans from one stage to the next. He’s even shown off the scars from the bullet wounds. His supporters have anticipated the next phase of his career, but he had a minor setback. TMZ reports that while the rapper was in the Bronx, he was detained by police.

Ice Spice Talks Being Inspired By Nicki Minaj & Lil Kim

“Munch (Feelin U)” helped put her on the map, and Ice Spice continues to carve out her space in Hip Hop. The Bronx-born artist emerged last year with a viral hit that captivated fans worldwide, and she’s become the industry’s new “it” artist in the female Rap scene. In a new interview with XXL, Ice details her upbringing as the eldest of six children and wanting to make a mark as an artist.

“New York is full of stars, for real. So, it’s just like growing up around a bunch of stars, I feel like I became one,” she said. “The Bronx definitely made me tough. And it definitely allowed me to read people.”

Before she had a hit under her belt, Ice Spice was a fan who idolized other women in the Rap game. She noted fellow New Yorkers Nicki Minaj and Lil Kim as influences.

“When I saw Nicki, I was so mesmerized. She’s the first female rapper that I seen,” said Spice. “And ever since then, I was kinda set on what I wanted to be.”

Once she decided on her Rap moniker in high school, people began to take her more seriously as an artist. Spice is currently working on her debut EP, which has yet to receive a release date. People are debating whether she’ll be a one-hit-wonder.

Ice Spice Responds To Snippet Of New Song Leaking Online

Ice Spice is undeniably one of the hottest names in the game right now. Ever since the arrival of her viral single, “Munch (Feelin’ U)” last August, she’s demanded everyone’s attention through her catchy songs and charisma.

Unfortunately, she’s no stranger to her music leaking on the internet though.

On Tuesday (January 10), a snippet of one of her unreleased songs began circulating on social media. The track is allegedly a collaboration with fellow Bronx rapper, Lil Tjay.

However, the 23-year-old caught wind of the unauthorized leak. Taking to her own Twitter account, she expresses her feelings about it. “stop leaking my sh*t lmfaooo this a bop tho,” she says in a quote tweet of the since-deleted snippet.

Since the aforementioned “Munch (Feelin’ U),” the Bronx native has dropped two other highly successful singles. The first of which is yet another viral hit in “Bikini Bottom,” arriving in October last year. The SpongeBob-inspired track continues to be popular on TikTok. Her most recent and her first release of 2023, is “In Ha Mood.”

Additionally, she also appears on one of Maryland rapper B-Lovee‘s singles from last year, “One Time.” J.I the Prince of N.Y and Skillibeng feature on the posse cut as well.

Ice Spice has yet to release her debut project. However, it seems as though she’s gearing up to release a six-song EP sometime soon.

“I’m about to put out an EP. It’s about to be, like, six songs. Bikini Bottom’s on there, and then there’s some that people haven’t heard. It’s gonna be a vibe. Visuals coming with it too,” she says while appearing on the Rap Caviar podcast in November.

It will certainly be interesting to hear her first project. Hopefully it arrives in the near future.

Ice Spice Gets “In Ha Mood” On Our First “Fire Emoji” Update Of 2023

The holiday season brought plenty of hustle and bustle. As a result, it was necessary for our Fire Emoji playlist updates to take a brief intermission. With a new year, though, comes new music. We’ve accordingly rounded up this week’s best releases for you in our first edition of 2023.

This weekend, it was Ice Spice who caught our attention with her “In Ha Mood” track. It was previously making rounds on TikTok (and later posted to SoundCloud and YouTube). However, the Bronx native has now made it available across DSPs so all her fans can rap along to her infectious lyrics.

French Montana is having an unexpectedly chaotic weekend. He himself was spared from gunfire. Still, the rapper’s friend, Rob49, and his bodyguard were both shot during a video shoot in Miami.

The tragic news follows the arrival of the “No Shopping” hitmaker’s Coke Boys 6 project in conjunction with DJ Drama. Of the many songs on the tracklist, “Chit Chat” with Smooky MarGielaa and A$AP Rocky is already a fan (and Fire Emoji) favourite.

From NBA YoungBoy’s latest album, we then have “Black.” The Louisana native shared I Rest My Case on Friday (January 6). It comes complete with 19 titles on which he raps without any guest appearances.

Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks’ new collaboration finds them riding in a “Rocket Chamber.” Among the track’s lyrics are “Insane in my blunt from Dr. Greenthumb / Got the K in the trunk, watch the drummer boy drum,” and “Momma not home, whip it up in the kitchen / Tend to get high, bag it up in the basement.”

Finally, we have a strong feature from Drake on Popcaan’s “We Caa Done.” The track is sure to make you want to hit the tropics in the near future to beat any winter blues.

Ice Spice Delivers New Single "In Ha Mood" for the Baddies

Ice Spice is building upon a crazy 2022, that shot her star into a different stratosphere behind her single “Munch (Feelin’ U)”. Now Ice Spice is back with a new single, “In Ha Mood,” dedicated to all the baddies on the planet.

Prior to its official release, “In Ha Mood” has amassed over 975K views on YouTube, 2.2M streams on SoundCloud, and 70K creations on TikTok. On the single, Ice Spice’s baddie demeanor exudes in the bars as she sidesteps munches, while being the one everyone wants to get next to.

Ice can be heard delivering sass and shade in her rhymes as she rejects the munches and enjoys being in demand. The new release brings in a bit of Jersey-club through its production crafted by RIOTSUSA. “She a baddie, she know she a ten/She a baddie with her baddie friend,” Ice Spice spits.

Ice Spice Is ‘In Ha Mood’ On Her New Single

Ice Spice is ringing in her 23rd birthday, which she celebrated on New Year’s Day, with a brand new song. Continuing her hot streak of Brooklyn drill bangers she launched last year with songs like “Munch (Feelin’ U)” and “Bikini Bottom,” Ice’s latest single, “In Ha Mood,” lets us know that she’s not a flash in the pan.

Complete with a drill beat and R&B-sounding vocal samples, Ice maintains a fiery flow throughout, as she reiterates her confidence.

“In the mirror, I’m doin’ my dance / And he packin’, I know by his pants / He a rapper, but don’t got a chance / Stuck in my says so I’m lovin’ my bands / Like a million views in a day / It’s so many ways to get paid,” she raps on the song’s first verse.

In a recent interview with Interview Magazine, Spice noted that she plans to stick to the rap game for a long time. Her biggest hope is that younger girls channel her same level of self-affirmation when they listen to her music.

“I want to make girls feel confident,” Spice said. “Like the Marilyn Monroe impact or the Rihanna impact, the Erykah impact…I want to do the same thing.”

Ice Spice Shows Off A Whole Lot Of Cake On Her 23rd Birthday

We saw several artists rise in popularity throughout 2022, though none of them had a breakout year quite like Ice Spice. In the late summer, the New Yorker seemingly came out of nowhere with her “Munch (Feelin’ U)” track. Since then, her star has only ascended to new heights.

To close out December, the redhead fed her fans one last track, “in ha mood.” It had previously gone viral on TikTok, and though she didn’t share the song on DSPs, it is available for streaming on SoundCloud and YouTube.

In the caption of that upload, Spice teased that her debut project is on the way – hopefully sometime in early 2023. The curvaceous artist’s year is already off to a great start, as she celebrates her 23rd birthday today (January 1).

To commemorate the exciting moment, she posted some salacious snapshots that chiefly find her flaunting her behind for the camera. “Cake day and I got a lot,” her caption reads.

The first photo finds Spice’s cheeks breaking out beneath a black outfit in the mirror. Next, she steps outside to tan her figure in a tiny bikini paired with bright fuzzy slippers. Other additions include tropical beach shots, a video originally uploaded on TikTok, and a beautiful display of rose petals laid out on her bed.

Additionally, the “Bikini Bottom” hitmaker recreated the carousel’s first photo, though this time around she bared far more skin – and booty.

Plenty of friends have dropped by the comment section already to send Spice birthday greetings. “Damn shawty [heart eyes emoji],” Chloe Bailey wrote alongside hers. Rubi Rose, Nas-X” class=”text-word” target=”_blank” >Lil Nas X, and Lakeyah also left kind words for the Bronx baddie.

Last month, Ice Spice joined Erykah Badu and her daughter for an interview. During their chat, the former made it known that her dream collaborations are Nicki Minaj and Doja Cat.
