A video of Michael Rainey Jr. taken during TyTy James’ livestream went viral on Monday, June 10. The video from the webcast seems to show the 23-year-old entertainer being groped. Michael Rainey Jr. looks visibly uncomfortable in a scenario where TyTy James’ sister seems to touch the Power Book II: Ghost star in the crotch area. After the incident, Michael Rainey Jr. spoke up. He remains stunned, and he describes the touching as an “unfortunate situation.” It’s unclear what will happen next.
The host of Thetylilshow spoke with his live chat audience about the incident. “Word to my mother, I’m trying to literally ignore the s### but I’m getting texts, the energy shifted and n##### just got up and left,” TyTy James said in a live video message. The social media personality also stated, “This is your crib. It’s about hospitality that means everything. Stop telling me to ignore it because when I tried to ignore it y’all dick-riders were spamming it.” On Monday, Tylil took a step back and disassociated himself from his sister’s actions, but it might be too late.
