Cell phone footage of BX rapper Lil Tjay sparring with UFC champion Alex Pereira shows a point in the sparring match where Tjay catches Pereira with a right jab, which sends Pereira to the mat.

At the 27:20 mark of the video, you’ll get to see the BX rapper tap the champ’s chin. The footage quickly spread on social media, with some people wondering if Pereira was faking it for Lil Tjay, as you can hear people in the background saying, “He’s f***ing with you, bro!” Lil Tjay then laughs and gives Pereira a hug after he got off of the canvas.

Lil Tjay & Alex Pereira Spar, Rapper Knocks Down UFC Champion: Watch

We’re able to witness unexpected celebrity link-ups all the time thanks to social media. The latest to go viral online is between rapper Lil Tjay and UFC Champion Alex Pereira, who found himself being put in his place by the young East Coast rhymer during a recent sparring session. On Monday (March 18), a video of Tjay and the athlete surfaced on @akademiks’ page, showing the former full of energy and enthusiasm while taking shots at Pereria.

Just a few seconds into the clip, the Brazilian fighter falls to the floor, marking Tjay the winner after seemingly knocking out his competitor. Though the moment was impressive, not everyone is buying the video’s validiity. “If you believe this s**t delete the app,” one skeptic wrote. On the other hand, others commended the 22-year-old for his strategic movements. “When you hit the chin right, you going to sleep,” they remarked. “Lil Tjay know what he doing 💪🏽💪🏽.”

Even if the whole thing was staged, hip-hop heads are still eager to see if Tjay will celebrate by walking Pereria out for his upcoming UFC 300 fight. “An event fitting for a mega walkout,” one person declared, as Sportskeeda reports. “Alex out here doing side quests with rappers,” and “We need to see more of hip-hop crossing over into MMA,” other chimed in.

Besides the obvious work he’s been putting in on getting his strength up, Lil Tjay also has big aspirations for his musical career. The New Yorker shared last month that he was hoping to make an appearance on Kanye West’s Vultures 2 LP, and while that might not have come together as hoped, we might see him on the series’ third installment, whenever that arrives. Read all about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Lil Tjay Thinks Him & Kanye West Should Collab On “VULTURES,” Talks Avoiding Cancel Culture

“You only canceled if you cancel yourself if you allow them to cancel you.” Those were the words of New York rapper and singer Lil Tjay. According to AllHipHop, TMZ caught him at the airport to talk about Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s controversial album VULTURES 1. Outside of the quality of the music and its rollout, the main reason why this LP is receiving backlash is because of its creator. It makes sense, especially because of Ye’s comments about antisemitism and his questionable actions online with his wife Bianca Censori. Music listeners have been at war over whether this album is good or not. But, Lil Tjay sees VULTURES as a huge success.

Tjay went on to talk about how cancel culture is more so about what each individual feels. “I feel like n****s can’t cancel me, n****s can’t cancel nobody—all they can do is block you out of they world, and they world is limited to what they do.” That ability to block out the noise allowed Kanye and Ty to nonchalantly go number one. On top of that, they did it without a major label as well, being exclusively released through YZY.

That is another reason why Lil Tjay feels VULTURES did so well. Even with the lack of label support, the fans did enough to run up the streams and sales. Tjay said, “I think that label s*** help. I think if he had some support he probably would’ve did triple the numbers.” All that respect for Ye even led him to end the interview with a request to be added to VULTURES. “So Kanye, put me on that s*** though.” he certainly put the message out a huge platform, so there is good chance this could happen.

What are your thoughts on Lil Tjay’s message to Kanye West, asking to be on VULTURES? Do you think they would sound good on a track together, why or why not? Do you agree with Tjay’s take on cancel culture, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Lil Tjay Is Keeping His Eyes On The Prize With “Good Life”

New York rapper and auto-crooner Lil Tjay is someone who like to stay true to his style. He likes to melodically rap over glistening trap beats most of the time. Tjay also likes to thrown in piano loops into his mixes as well. Just listen to his previous single “Told Ya.” Today, Lil Tjay is following that up with a similar vibe on “Good Life.”

Lil Tjay “Told Ya” He Would Make It One Day On New Single

There are rappers who like to push their boundaries and others who like to stay in the familiar lane. Both approaches have their pros and cons, that is obvious. If an artist likes to continue to build on their existing sound and improve on it, that is more than respectable. However, some can come across content, and for listeners that can get stale. Lil Tjay is a talented guy, no doubt about it.

But, this new single “Told Ya” feels too familiar. The message and lyrics are solid as usual. On the production side, it sounds agreeable. However, it is something you will hear in a lot of rap songs today. Again, it is not bad by any means. It is just okay at the end of the day for us.

We wish him success moving forward. Go stream “Told Ya” now.

Lil Tjay And Fivio Foreign Put A Drill Spin On “Last Christmas”

Christmas music, whether you love it or hate, it makes the holiday a little extra special. It adds a sense of warmth, and nostalgia, and can maybe turn the Scrooges into Christmas carolers. Some rappers and hip-hop-adjacent artists have been putting their spin on some classics over the years. Others are trying to create unique holiday-themed tracks. Lil Tjay and Fivio Foreign fit into the first category in this scenario, though.

Both New Yorkers and common collaborators, the two have come together for a short but emotionally-driven single. For this one, Tjay has taken direct inspiration from Wham! “Last Christmas” from 1984 has firmly become a Christmas staple. However, these drill rappers wanted to spruce it up a bit.

Lil Tjay And Kyle Richh Are Feeling Betrayed On “I Should’ve Known”

Bronx, NY rapper Lil Tjay is back with his first single since the release of his last album, 222. That project dropped a few months ago -July to be exact- and now he is beginning to release new material. This is the first time he is working with another New York native, Kyle Richh. It is a little surprising this is the lone collaboration we have from them considering both have similar styles.

Nonetheless, we have a chance now to see how the two mesh. How do they do in that department? We would say both Tjay and Richh sound like they belong on more songs together. Richh’s deeper voices contrasts well with Tjay’s higher pitch.

He raps, “B**** you was there (Grah) / Made you duck in the chair / You know n****s wan’ kill me (Kill me).” It is nothing new for either rapper but it does its job at conveying what it wants to.

YK Osiris Says Lil Tjay Is “Flopping,” Insinuates New Yorker Is “Scared” Of Him

Life for Lil Tjay has never been the same since he almost lost his life in a brutal shooting last June. Thankfully, the young entertainer has made an impressive recovery and spent much of this summer performing on stages across the globe. That trend continued this past weekend, though the high of putting on another great show was seemingly diminished by some drama with another artist – YK Osiris. According to alleged screenshots posted on Tjay’s Instagram Story on Sunday (October 1), the 25-year-old has been spamming his phone with unkind messages.

“Scary a** ni**a. [You] so scared of me lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂,” Osiris seemingly messaged Tjay. “Lol 😂. It’s ok, I’m not gonna slap [you] lol. Imma spare [you], you my son lol,” the “Dear Fans” artist assured the young rapper. “I know [you] scared man 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Lol 😂 [you] need another hit man. Lol 😂 [you] trash [as f**k] lol 😂,” YK’s tormenting continued. At this point, Tjay calmly responded, “Don’t mind me bro. Please stop texting me.”

Osiris failed to comply with his op’s request, writing back, “Lol 😂 [you] need one man. That money [gonna] run out lol. 😂😂 Stop spending it on h*es man, not good.” Once again, Tjay asked the Florida native to leave him alone, but YK couldn’t help but throw in one more diss. “Lol 😂😂😂😂. [You] flopping man,” he boldly declared. When sharing a screenshot of the awkward interaction on IG, the 22-year-old said, “I keep blocking this ninja 🥷🏾. Lol, someone tell Osiris leave me alone 😭. WTF.”

Lil Tjay clearly has no problem putting YK Osiris on blast, which seems to be the opposite of what the latter is going for lately. Last month, the R&B artist made a point to apologize to the barber he was accused of scamming, declaring himself a “genuine” person at the same time. Read what else YK had to say about the situation at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
