Lil Tjay got into an altercation during a boxing event at Madison Square Garden, where he spit at a security guard trying to escort him off the premises.
Over the weekend, The Bronx native took a trip to the Theater at MSG to catch the WBO World Lightweight Championship bout between Denys Berinchyk and Keyshawn Davis. Video footage showed the title fight had wrapped up when Tjay broke a light fixture while leaning on a railing to snap a photo.
A random security guard is then seen putting his hand on Tjay and pushing him back, with people in the background saying the rapper didn't break the light on purpose. Tjay stood defiantly and told the security guard, "I just played my parlay. You broke. Shut up."
Another video showed the same security guard trying to escort Tjay towards the exit before someone on the rapper's team tried to step in. While his team member intervened, Tjay lifted the brim of his hat and hurled a ball of spit at the security guard before another MSG personnel member took him away.
TMZ confirms Lil Tjay is banned from MSG until further notice.
“Our policy is that patrons that engage in confrontational and disruptive behavior will be escorted out and banned from all MSG properties,” a spokesperson for MSG told TMZ.
Lil Tjay is not afraid to throw hands with anyone, as fans have seen in the past. In 2023, he was ready to fight someone at Hot 97's annual Summer Jam event and even threatened to fire his security for trying to hold him back.
"You're gonna get fired," Lil Tjay says multiple times in the video as the bodyguard wouldn't let go. "Do not touch me."
