On Monday, June 10, a video of Michael Rainey Jr. during TyTy James' livestream went viral. It appears that the 23-year-old performer is being sexually assaulted in footage from the webcast. In one scene, TyTy James' sister appears to touch the Power Book II: Ghost star in the crotch area, and Michael Rainey Jr. displays a noticeably uncomfortable expression. The host of Thetylilshow spoke with his live chat audience about the incident. “Word to my mother, I’m trying to literally ignore the s### but I’m getting texts, the energy shifted and n##### just got up and left,” TyTy James said in a live video message.
The social media personality also stated, “This is your crib. It’s about hospitality that means everything. Stop telling me to ignore it because when I tried to ignore it y’all dick-riders were spamming it.” TyTy James went on to discuss his interactions with Michael Rainey Jr. and other celebrities. Then he defended his family member for allegedly abusing Rainey on his show. “She never seen somebody that caliber so she start…. That’s my sister so I’m not gonna say nothing bad about her. I’m gonna just check her and tell her, ‘You ain’t gotta be on that. We all the same. We all human,” James expressed. He also added, “Nothing ever got me more mad than this.”

Michael Rainey Jr. has not yet commented on the event, but the viral footage has caused a stir on social media.
