Lil Tjay’s 222 Project Rises on Apple Music Chart, Throwing Shade at Gunna.
Lil Tjay celebrates the success of his latest project, 222, which quickly climbed the ranks on Apple Music’s Top Albums chart. The talented “Calling My Phone” rapper secured the No. 5 spot on the chart, surrounded by other prominent releases.
Taking to his Instagram Stories, Lil Tjay shared a screen capture reuploaded by DJ Akademiks, showcasing the top albums. 222 stood proudly at No. 5, while King Von’s posthumous Grandson claimed the top position. Rylo Rodrigruez’s Been One and Taylor Swift’s Speak Now followed closely behind.
Interestingly, Gunna’s a Gift & a Curse held the No. 4 position, just one spot ahead of Lil Tjay’s project. The New York native made a subtle yet attention-grabbing move by covering Gunna’s album with an enigmatic contemplation face emoji.
This action sparked speculation among Lil Tjay’s followers, hinting at a potential lack of admiration for the Atlanta artist. Gunna found himself amidst controversy after facing allegations of snitching on label boss Young Thug in the ongoing YSL Records RICO case.
Lil Tjay’s move aligns him with other artists seemingly at odds with the “pushin P” rapper. Lil Baby reportedly unfollowed Gunna on Instagram earlier this year, and Lil Durk openly commented on the musician’s situation, stating, “If you a rat, you a rat.” Hip hop veteran Jim Jones also weighed in, calling taking a plea deal “a touchy thing.”
Despite the legal turmoil surrounding Gunna, he remains on a successful trajectory in the music industry. His single “fukumean” soared into the Hot 100’s Top 10, and a Gift & a Curse made its debut at No. 3 on the Billboard 200.
Meanwhile, Lil Tjay is reveling in the triumph of his third studio album, 222. The impressive 14-track project features collaborations with notable artists like Jadakiss, Fivio Foreign, Summer Walker, and YoungBoy Never Broke Again.
The full-length project, available on all streaming platforms, has been receiving positive responses from fans and critics alike. Lil Tjay continues to establish himself as a rising star in the music scene with his remarkable talent and engaging collaborations.
