The latest update about him was released earlier this month. For what it's worth, his friend Mehgan James shared that the rapper and his friends had a FaceTime call after his discharge.
Akademiks shared a photo of the rapper, which was also uploaded by James on her post, showing Lil Tjay smiling in a car while on a FaceTime call with his friends.
"They saying lil tjay out of the hospital," the rapper captioned the post.
It served as Lil Tjay's first-ever photo as he and his team chose to be silent all throughout his hospital stay.
HipHopDX also confirmed his discharge from the hospital, where he spent more than a month since the shooting incident.
Lil Tjay Survived Gunshot Wounds
Getting out of the hospital is a huge sign that the rapper has been smoothly recovering in the past weeks.
In June, the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office released a press statement confirming that the rapper sustained multiple gunshot wounds after the shooting incident.
"Just after midnight, on Wednesday, June 22, 2022, the Edgewater Police Department received multiple 911 calls reporting shots fired in 14 The Promenade in Edgewater, NJ. Upon their arrival to the area, officers found 21-year-old Tione 'Lil TJay' Merritt with multiple gunshot wounds and Antoine Boyd with a single gunshot wound," the official report said.
