Lil Tjay's lawyer thinks the rapper was illegally searched when he was arrested for having a gun. -

The NYPD is giving Lil Tjay a bad deal, at least according to his lawyers. The “Calling My Phone” rapper was arrested for gun possession after cops searched his car without a reason.

Attorney Dawn Florio told TMZ Hip Hop that Tjay was just a passenger in the car with a few other people and that the car was legally parked on the street.

Once police arrived, Florio claims they gave no reason for searching the vehicle and, perhaps most importantly … she adds, the gun they found does not belong to Tjay.

So, she’s claiming the traffic stop itself was bogus — and, therefore, cops had no right to arrest her client.

Florio thinks NYPD targeted Tjay on account of the social media posts he and fellow Bronx-born rapper Ice Spice put out to promote the filming of the music video for their “Gangsta Boo” collaboration.

Tjay is currently behind bars, waiting to see a judge.
