A Fourth of July livestream hosted by streamer Jack Doherty took a dramatic turn after a confrontation with rapper Lil Tjay escalated into a physical altercation. The incident unfolded during a party broadcast on Kick, where the two initially appeared to be getting along. However, a series of exchanges involving a luxury watch, a chain and personal comments gradually increased tensions. The situation eventually boiled over when Lil Tjay slapped Doherty on camera. Moments later, Doherty appeared to retaliate while security attempted to escort the rapper and his group off the property, leading to a chaotic scene that abruptly ended the stream.
Lil Tjay and Jack Doherty’s playful exchange takes a tense turn
At the start of the livestream, there was little sign that the interaction would end in an argument. Lil Tjay and Jack Doherty were seen joking, laughing and talking casually in front of viewers.Part of their conversation centered around Doherty’s Richard Mille watch. Lil Tjay appeared interested in playing rock-paper-scissors for the watch, prompting Doherty to respond:“I ain’t runnin’ a watch. You think I’m runnin’ a watch? 500! We’ll break even!.. I like your music… Why would you even think about that?”As the conversation continued, Doherty repeatedly tried to hug the rapper and placed his hands on Lil Tjay’s shoulder and neck. Tjay appeared uncomfortable with the contact and pushed him away several times.“I don’t do hugs like that, bro. You doing a lot of funny college ***** games.”The rapper then jokingly suggested they “slap-box” for the watch. Doherty answered by proposing a real boxing match for money instead. While both continued talking, the mood began to shift.Things became more serious after Lil Tjay reportedly called Doherty’s watch fake. Doherty responded by touching the rapper’s chain and claiming it was fake as well. That move appeared to irritate Lil Tjay immediately.“Don’t touch my chain… Imma do you like the last *****.”From there, the conversation became noticeably more heated, with both men exchanging remarks as viewers watched the situation unfold live.
Lil Tjay slaps Jack Doherty before security intervenes
The confrontation reached another level after comments were made about Lil Tjay’s home. During the exchange, Doherty suggested that his Miami property was worth more than the rapper’s house. Lil Tjay reacted by grabbing Doherty’s hair and wrapping an arm around him while warning him to calm down.“Calm your lil’ *** down, lil’ *****. Talking about my crib.”Shortly after Doherty pulled away and told the rapper, “I love you,” Lil Tjay slapped him across the face. The slap immediately changed the atmosphere. Doherty appeared upset and warned Lil Tjay to stop. “Watch out. Stop, bro. You can leave my crib if you’re gonna be like that, dead***.”As tensions continued rising, Doherty called for security. “He’s trying to put hands on me, let’s go. He wants to play the security guard game, let’s go.”Security personnel then moved in and began escorting Lil Tjay and the people accompanying him toward the exit. During that process, Doherty extended his hand as if offering a handshake. When the rapper did not respond, Doherty swung his arm and appeared to slap Lil Tjay.That moment sparked immediate chaos. Several people rushed toward Doherty as security attempted to separate everyone involved. In the confusion, people could be seen falling to the ground and furniture was knocked over around the party area.Moments later, the camera pointed downward and the livestream abruptly disconnected, ending the broadcast before viewers could see what happened next.
