Is Lil Tjay Paralyzed? Rumours of Lil Tjay being paralyzed have started to float around social media platforms. However, as yet, there is no evidence to back up this claim. The hoax seems to have originated from a fake Twitter account that states numerous unverified facts.
The rumours come after news of the rapper being shot multiple times in an attempted armed robbery on Wednesday, June 22.
The wounded artist was rushed to the hospital, where doctors are trying their best to ensure his recovery. As of now, no official statement has been released by the singer’s representatives.

Rumors of Lil Tjay being paralyzed can be sourced back to an account on Twitter with the username, @ilove69andtjay. A recent tweet made by the account said:
It must be noted that no reliable news portal has mentioned Dr. Raheem Smith in connection with Tjay’s medical team.
On June 25, the same account had tweeted, saying that the singer had passed away, despite there being no news of the same.

On June 27, the account had also claimed that the rapper had woken up and was in “better condition.”

Looking at the contradictory tweets on the account, it is safe to disregard any claims made by it.
The last update about the artist’s condition came through TMZ on Thursday, June 23, which revealed that Tjay remained unconscious in the hospital and was scheduled for a CAT Scan. The singer did not show any bodily movement except for some leg motion on the day of the incident.
Nothing can be ascertained about the rapper’s health until an official statement is released by his team.
