A Clash of Cultures
Lil Tjay, who admitted he wasn’t familiar with Plaqueboymax before the stream, joined as a favor to Fivio Foreign. The trouble began when the rapper lit up a blunt during the live broadcast. Plaqueboymax politely asked Tjay and Fivio to avoid smoking, citing concerns about setting off fire alarms in the Airbnb where the stream was being hosted. However, the request was dismissed, leading to awkward silence and visible tension.
Speaking about the incident in his own live stream a day later, Tjay explained why he disregarded the streamer’s request. “It ain’t the end of the world,” he said. “I ain’t no sorry a*s n**ga. It is what it is.” Tjay felt Plaqueboymax’s tone was disrespectful, claiming that the room already smelled like weed when he arrived. This miscommunication escalated the situation, with Tjay feeling emboldened to light up.
Lil Tjay: “I Almost Slapped Him”
In a follow-up conversation with fellow artist and YouTuber DDG, Tjay detailed his side of the story. “I’m a hood n**ga… you was talkin’ a little crazy, bro,” he said, recalling how Plaqueboymax stood firm on his no-smoking rule. Tjay went on to say that he would have “slapped the sh*t” out of the streamer if cameras hadn’t been rolling. He also joked about how Plaqueboymax would have to foot the Airbnb bill for any damages caused by the smoke.

Plaqueboymax Defends His Ground
Plaqueboymax addressed the incident in a subsequent live stream, shedding light on his perspective. The streamer expressed frustration over the rappers’ lack of respect for his rules, particularly in a space he was paying for. “N**gas then proceed to start smoking in the Airbnb,” he said. “If these fire alarms go off, this stream is over.” He emphasized that guests—especially uninvited ones—should respect the boundaries of their host.
The streamer’s remarks highlighted a clash of expectations between the laid-back demeanor of the rappers and the professional environment Plaqueboymax was trying to maintain for his stream.
