It seems like rapper Lil Tjay just can’t catch a break. After a pop out at a new Ice Spice video for her song “Gangsta Boo,” the artist was arrested in the Bronx for an alleged weapons violation.
It also seems like Ice Spice got into a little problem with the cops on the other side of town.
Lil Tjay was stopped by officers during a traffic stop around 4 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 16 because of his tinted windows and a missing front license plate. They further discovered a firearm in his Cadillac Escalade. As a result, the artist was booked on weapon possession.

The New York Post says four guns were confiscated by police during the traffic stop at 183rd Street and Ryer Avenue .
Arrested officers say four others in the car were taken in, but only the artist and two others riding with him in the SUV were charged with criminal possession of a weapon.
Sources say he was still in custody on Tuesday.
The big-hair beauty was ironically in an altercation with police around the same time, on the same day, in a separate location with a similar charge.
According to police records, Markus Grisham, 34, who was in the car with Ice Spice was arrested and charged with criminal possession of a weapon of a 9-millimeter gun.
The femcee, whose real name is Isis Gaston, was not taken into custody.
