Lil Tjay arrived to ELLE ready to address rumors, spill some tea, and set the records straight- otherwise sipping on some pretty *nasty* shots. Lil Tjay doesn't have much to hide, even when addressing tough topics like fan hookups, the reason he covered Gunna's album on his IG story, and rating his fellow collaborations like Lil Baby, Lil Durk, and Lil Wayne from best to worst rapper.
