Rapper Lil Tjay Arrested For ‘Reckless Endangerment’

American rapper, Tione Jayden Merritt professionally known as Lil Tjay, has been arrested again over alleged reckless endangerment. This is his second arrest in New York City this year.

Tjay’s lawyer, Dawn Florio, told TMZ on Tuesday that the rapper was filming a short clip for a music video when cops arrived on the scene in Manhattan and took him in for reckless endangerment.

The rapper captured his arrest on video as he was live streaming on Instagram when he was arrested.

The 22-year-old was arrested in January after a traffic stop in the Bronx while en route to shoot a video with Ice Spice. Law enforcement sources revealed cops found a handgun in his vehicle, resulting in his getting booked for weapon possession.

Lil Tjay was shot seven times in a 2022 New Jersey robbery.
