With a new project on the way this week, New York rapper Lil Tjay may have attempted to get some attention the 6ix9ine way, starting beef with a number of other stars in his city. It all started when he flew out Rubi Rose to spend a few nights with him for his birthday, apparently refusing to book her return flight and getting the cops called on him as a result. Then, he called out A Boogie wit da Hoodie and 6ix9ine before saying that he is the proper King of New York. 

Not even twenty-four hours after the feud kicked off, Lil Tjay ended up getting his hands on a Highbridge chain, claiming that he snagged it from one of A Boogie’s boys. However, the rapper threw away those allegations, claiming that the chain was lost a long time ago.

Lil Tjay realized that the trolling and beefing may not be a ble move for him in the long run, deciding that he wanted to call it quits and quietly bow out but it looks like Trap Manny and Don Q, two of A Boogie’s friends, aren’t letting that happen.

“U GOTTA STAND ON CERTAIN SHIT U SAY,” wrote Don Q on Instagram Stories, responding directly to Lil Tjay’s attempts to squash the beef. “NOT ACCEPTED.”

As for Trap Manny, he was a little more direct in his response, tagging the “F.N” rapper and demanding a public apology.

“WAT HAPPEN TO DAT ENERGY,” he says, walking by all of his and A Boogie’s plaques. “GET YA MONEY N STAY OUT DA WAY. @liltjay LIKE I SAID WE NEED A PUBLIC APOLOGY FUCK U MEAN‼️‼️‼️”

There’s a reason we have implemented an “Antics” category into the mix, especially considering the role social media plays within the hip-hop landscape. Beefs are ignited and intensified, relationships are developed and aired out, even “likes” are placed under a microscope. Over the weekend, rising rapper Lil Tjay spent some time engaging in some pretty hefty antics, embroiling himself into a beef with Don Q and — though inadvertently— A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie.

It all seemed to stem from a chain-snatching that allegedly saw Tjay nabbing a Highbridge chain from one of Don Q’s associates, though A Boogie later claimed the chain had been lost a “long ass time ago” in an unrelated incident. Perhaps A Boogie’s disappointed tone was enough to open Tjay’s eyes to the error of his ways, as the young rapper recently took to Instagram to issue an apology for his behavior — while he didn’t exactly offer up specifics or name names, he did appear to be sincere for the time being. 

“Today’s a new day man, I’m chillin’,” he admits. “I don’t feel like arguing with anybody today. Real shit though, I swear I’m going back to the old Lil Tjay. This is why I’m not posting a lot, cause I can’t control myself. Start getting out of hand and shit. My fault for getting out of composure. May 8th, State Of Emergency Mixtape be dropping.”

It has been a busy weekend for Lil Tjay who recently celebrated his birthday. Even though he’s still two years shy of the legal drinking age, he’s been feeling himself and that’s come along with some drama. Now, the timeline was flooded with his lady drama after flying out Rubi Rose for his birthday without paying for her return flight. Shortly after, Chinese Kitty chimed in and Tjay was left defending himself on the timeline.

That wasn’t all, though. Shortly after all the drama blew over, the rapper hit the ‘Gram where he declared himself the King Of New York. Now, we all know that there are very few rappers who can claim that title without facing disagreement from the public (Jay-Z, Biggie, Diddy etc.). However, Don Q, who also quickly fired back at 6ix9ine’s claim of being the King Of NY, fired off at Tjay. “Next time n***as see n***as, n***as gettin’ stripped out of everything, respectfully,” Don Q said.

Lil Tjay replied with the quintessential New York City, “suck my d*ck” before putting Don Q on blast. “Don, you mad because you fuckin’ dead. You fuckin’ dead. You givin’ n***as features for like three bands right now, n***a. You’re broke, n***a. Tell Boogie put some bread in your pockets,” Tjay taunted. The disrespect trickled down to the entire Highbridge crew as well as A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie‘s baby mama who Tjay brought up.

“Fuck me? NEVER. I kno we around the same age but I wouldn’t even talk to that little boy I got Fuckn morals don’t play w me & don’t use me for clout,” A Boogie’s baby mama Ella said. 

Despite Lil Tjay’s success, it appears that the Highbridge Crew works diligently at protecting their own. TrapManny for Highbridge The Label hit the ‘Gram with a video what apparently shows Tjay having different energy. Check out the videos below. 

In a short amount of time, 6ix9ine has beef with many people but there were a few people in his hometown that had problems with him. Some of them due to his claims of being the King of New York. Don Q was among those people who felt a type of way since 6ix9ine made that claim and it appears that he might still feel a type of way about it.

It looks like all hell has officially broken loose now that 6ix9ine is out of jail. The pro-troll has now promised the judge to chill on his online antics now that he’s been released on home confinement but we’ll see how long that will last. His girlfriend, on the other hand, hasn’t made that type of obligation to anyone and it shows. Jade debuted her newly dyed rainbow hair in honor of her boyfriend on Instagram today which prompted a reaction from Don Q. “Heavy,” he commented.

Jade surely wasn’t having it and shut him down real fast. “The only thing heavy here is you,” she replied. Clearly, she picked up on a few things from 6ix9ine before he got sent away to prison.

In related news, 6ix9ine has been revving up his return to the game. A snippet of new music recently leaked online and apparently, he’s been plotting on some new visuals.
