>Tay-K faced a charge in Mansfield, Texas, for a home invasion that occurred on July 26, 2016. The invasion, which was set up by two young women, ended with a 21-year-old man named Ethan Walker shot dead. Tay-K, who was 16 at the time, was arrested for the murder and released on house arrest.
>He is also a suspect in another murder following a Daytona Boyz performance in late 2015.
>In March 2016, Tay-K was facing a hearing to determine whether he'd be charged as an adult for Walker's murder—a decision that could mean facing the death penalty. So he sent a tweet, cut off his ankle monitor, and fled.
>For alleged altercations that occurred during his several months on the lam, Tay-K stands accused of a separate killing in San Antonio and of assaulting and robbing a 65-year-old man. While evading the law, he also recorded and shot a video for the song "The Race."
>Rappers across the industry have jumped in to support Tay-K. Travis Scott tweeted a bar from "The Race", Playboy Carti played the song at one of his shows, XXXTentacion posted a message onto his IG account that read “Free Tay-K", Lil Uzi Vert recorded a video of himself vibing to the hit single and Lil Yatchy dropped his own remix of the song, in which he calls for Tay-K’s freedom.
Why do rappers enable this toxic behaviour? This dude fucking murdered an innocent man.
wow i didnt know all of this. its crazy how many people will jump to say " free _________ without even knowing what they did
Ryan Robinson
Because they're not very bright
Mason Sullivan
#FreeTayK
He's just a kid raised in a violent environment, I'm sure he regrets what he did
Hunter Ortiz
>why do niggers nig?
Because they're niggers, it's what they do.
John Smith
why did they beat up hank schrader?
Easton Stewart
wtf i hate rap now
Chase Flores
Kanye would never allow this. Gambino would never allow this MC Ride would never allow this. Earl would never allow this. Tyler would never allow this. Chance would never allow this.
C'mon, man. Not all rappers are responsible.
Mason Miller
hmmm.. wonder what would cause them to do this?
Ryan Allen
He's going to get caught at 18 and then down half his life in prison
The trap rappers were probably forced to make a response by their label overlords but my impression of them has still gone down, what a bunch of retards
Jose Murphy
Because hes stuck in the hood and they can sympathize?
Luke Powell
>MC Ride
lol...
Oliver Davis
what the fuck would mc ride allow?
Kayden Wood
Probably due to the death penalty applied to a child
Jace James
FUCK A BEAT I WAS TRYNA BEAT A CASE
Adam Hernandez
>17yo >child
Kevin Long
He'd allow you on stage for a minute before pushing you off.
Josiah Butler
16 year old at the time of the first crime that covers the death penalty. And yes 17 is still a child in law.
Mason Gomez
The only reasonable one was Free Gucci. He was defending his life when he shot those dudes in his house and threw their bodies over the fence of the public school next door.
Nolan Butler
They're black people.
Jordan Fisher
He threw their bodies over a fence into a public school? I'm more surprised wondering why the fuck he had a (trap?) house by a fuckin' school.
Robert Walker
I mean, thug life amirite?
Cameron Clark
w-wow really? do you think he'd let me get near him???
Grayson Russell
As long as black people defend the people who do these things there will be racism toward blacks. It's not that hard to have standards of basic decency
short answer: ayo whitey is opressing us, racial profiling, he dindu nuffin
Julian Nguyen
What did Shmurda do again ?
David Hughes
i cant exactly remember but a lot of the stuff he says in hot nigga has to do with it
Lucas Hernandez
Fuck that shit, FREE MAX B
Anthony Phillips
You have to understand, the whole "Free (insert rapper here)" is just meme banter amougst young rappers. It's not like anyone is legitimately campaigning for his release or anything like that (save for his own legal team). I'm sure if you actually sat down someone like Yachty for an interview and explained the situation in full he would concede that Tay K deserves to be in prison.
Ryan Brooks
The word you're looking for isn't 'Rappers'
Cooper Gomez
he's trying to keep it in the realm of music., and rightfully so
John Cox
I think him and his whole gang went down on idictments of weapons distribution and drugs and the like, if I remember correctly it was a bunch of "organized crime" related shit
