Tjay has not been making smart moves as of late.

Lil Tjay is hearing it online following the surfacing of a video of him disrespecting a security guard. Per AllHipHop, the New York rapper and singer was in attendance for a boxing card recently at Madison Square Garden. While there with some friends, he was attempting to get pictures of himself. He leaned up against a guard rail and accidentally knocked a light off of it. One of the security guards moved Lil Tjay away from the railing and appeared to direction him away from the area. This is where things begin to escalate between both parties, as the MC's friends insisted that it was an accident.

It seems he was trying to celebrate a betting win as you can hear Lil Tjay shout at the guard, "I just hit my parlay bro, shut up." Then, in a separate video, the two men are face to face with one another. The "Calling My Phone" artist starts trying to intimidate the security guard by pointing in his face and stating, "I will f*ck you up." A friend or bystander tries to intervene and break up the skirmish. But while that's going on Lil Tjay appears to be plotting his next move.

That winds up being him spitting on the security guard's face. That leads to more pushing and shoving between Tjay and the man and an attempt to land a blow on the guard. Thankfully, a second one working the event comes in and wrangles Lil Tjay up and escorts him out of MSG. This has led to a bevy of reactions on X, with folks dragging the rapper for his poor actions. "Lil tjay spitting on that man was uncalled for & very dirty of him," one user tweeted. "He literally be playing like he’s so tough & gangsta like that’s a cool thing," another adds.

Overall, this is just another bad look for the star, and it looks like he will be permanently banned from MSG. In a recent statement, they addressed the Lil Tjay incident. "Our policy is that patrons that engage in confrontational and disruptive behavior will be escorted out and banned from all MSG properties." On top of this, he was under fire recently for the way he treated streamer PlaqueBoyMax. The latter was renting out an Airbnb for a stream and Lil Tjay and Fivio Foreign were causing issues. While they were there, the fellow New York natives were trying to smoke. However, PlaqueBoyMax had to ask them a few times to stop as smoking wasn't allowed per the Airbnb rules. They took his requests as disrespectful and have been trying to clown him ever since. Tjay even made merch following the altercation, but people came to Max's defense instead.
