Fans React To Tay-K’s Sentence Of 55 Years In Jail

Rapper Tay-K was finally on trial for his role in a 2016 murder, as well as several incidents that occurred while on the run from the police. Tay-K, born Taymor McIntyre, entered a guilty plea for aggravated robbery charges but he maintained his innocence in terms of the murder accusation. 

Yesterday, his fate was finally revealed when the jury ended their discussions to communicate how long the artist will be spending in prison. His hit song ‘The Race’ was used as evidence against him the lyrics and video to “The Race” were used as evidence in court today during his sentencing.

We reported earlier that Tay-K has been sentenced to 55 years in prison and there has been several reactions to the news. Fans are worried they’ll never get to listen to Tay-K’s music again.

Fans are begging Kim Kardashian to get involved, who has been freeing low-level drug offenders with her law prowess. Considering the fact that Tay-K literally bragged about killing the dude and then wrote a song about it, we doubt that will happen but maybe, if he’s lucky, his sentence will get reduced for good behaviour.

Worst than that is the flock of people saying” free Tay-K”. They’re completely enabling and supporting this type of behaviour. And it doesn’t matter that they’re mostly highschool suburban white kids, it’s still reinforces the cancerous spiral that a lot of black kids face today.

Tay-K was sentenced to 55 years? Damn. It pains me to see young men throw their lives away before they even get to truly live it. You don’t have to be a statistic nor a product of your environment. Remember that!
