Lil Tjay continues to give his fans inspiring messages after luckily surviving the shooting incident.

After months of being silent, Lil Tjay assured his fans that he could come back stronger with new music. He then dropped his highly-anticipated single, "Beat the Odds," after surviving the New Jersey shooting in June.

He left a positive message to the fans through the song, rapping, "I took seven shots, no shame/Back to wall, I'm still gon' blow you down, I ain't no stain."

Since the arrival of the song, the rapper could not help but expressed how thankful he feels to have the chance to live his life after the incident.

On Twitter, Lil Tjay shared inspiring tweets to fans, showing how grateful he is following the shooting. He also shared a video that contains clips of him doing his everyday life as a normal person and musician.

In another video, he recorded himself listening to his song alongside the text "Smile thru the pain."

Lil Tjay's fans immediately celebrated his return and showered him with praises as he continued to recover from the near-death experience.

Lil Tjay Is Back

Lil Tjay's new music came out after the rapper announced his return through a billboard in New York City. The billboard in question read: "I'M BACK. - Lil Tjay."

Akademiks shared a snap of it on his Instagram, marking his colleague's highly-anticipated return.

The 21-year-old sustained seven gunshot wounds on June 22 while he was at Chipotle Restaurant in New Jersey. He was rushed to Hackensack University Medical Center, where he received multiple surgeries.

The Bergen County Prosecutor's Office released a press statement that confirmed the incident, saying that its officers responded to 911 calls about the shots fired in the area.

Aside from Lil Tjay, Antoine Boyd also sustained a single gunshot wound.

His recovery period was not publicized in any way as the rapper nor his team ever released an update regarding his status.

Unfortunately, the lack of information led news websites Sandra Rose and Ratchet Friday Media to share articles that sparked several buzzes, including claims that Lil Tjay was paralyzed and brain dead.

Only earlier this month when several Twitter users assured others that he was already doing well following his recovery. His uncle, Quinn Smith, also revealed that he was "pulling through" and would "be okay" amid the rumors surrounding his health status.
