Tay-K is serving 55 years for a home invasion murder he committed in 2016 when he was 16.
And that's not all.
Earlier that same year he was driving in a car with Eric "Santana Sage" Johnson, who shot University of North Texas student Sara Mutschlechner in the head during an argument between two cars leaving a party. Tay-K wasn't charged in the case, but Johnson got 44 years.
Tay-K is still facing trial for an entirely separate murder, which he allegedly committed in 2017 when he took his ankle bracelet off and went on the run after being arrested for the home invasion murder. Tay-K immortalized his escape from the authorities in his one hit, The Race. In addition, Tay-K is accused of beating and robbing a 65-year-old man when he was on the run.
Yesterday, Tay-K got on Twitter and said he deserves a chance at adulthood and believes if he was white he wouldn't have got a 55-year sentence.
I really just need 1 chance @ adulthood

I bet if I was a lil white kid they wouldn’t have gave me no 55 years for a crime I was alleged to play the most insignificant role in when I was 16….they woulda rightfully argued that my mind wasn’t fully developed and gave me rehabilitation and a 2nd (1st) chance at adulthood
