Lil Tjay Came Back Stronger After Shooting Incident

The recent arrest came weeks after Lil Tjay surprised everyone with photos of him displaying the scars he sustained after his near-fatal experience during a shooting incident in June.

He uploaded photos of him taken at his Wellmont Theater performance in 2022, writing, "BACK IN JERSEY."

Lil Tjay sustained multiple gunshot wounds on his body after the suspect, Mohamed Konate, attempted to rob him and his friend. He was struck in the thoracic cavity, with most of the bullets hitting his chest and ribs.

He was rushed to Hackensack University Medical Center, where he underwent multiple surgeries. The rapper even sparked several rumors about his status due to the lack of information about his condition after the incident.

The Bergen County Prosecutor's Office later confirmed that Konate had been charged with weapon charges, armed robbery, and attempted murder.
