Ice Spice and Lil Tjay hosted a turkey giveaway ahead of Thanksgiving in their native Bronx, New York on Wednesday night (November 16).
The BX rappers were mobbed by fans at the giveaway event as they found another way to give back to the community they both grew up in, donating turkeys to about 150 different local families.
Footage surfaced of Ice Spice and Tjay on top of some sort of table or car overlooking the massive screaming crowd as they tossed out turkeys for free. However, the fans seemed more interested in getting selfies with the hometown heroes.

“This shit looking active out here… We in The Bronx. Listen, I got a whole lot of turkeys to give out. Police shit. My son Ice is [here]. If you ain’t here pop out though,” Tjay said before taking aim at his detractors. “I know the opps mad they can’t do this.”

According to the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office, a 27-year-old man named Mohamed Konate attempted to rob Tjay and his two friends, Antoine Boyd and Jeffrey Valdez, while they were seated in a Dodge Durango near the Promenade shopping center.
