Tay-K's hit song "The Race" has been certified platinum and hit the Top 50 of the Hot 100 since it was released. But the rapper's legal issues go back to before the song achieved so much success. The day it was released he was already on the run from U.S. Marshals. He was ultimately found guilty in a murder trial that landed him a 55-year sentence behind bars.
Even if Tay-K were to get his current sentence re-evaluated, he's still facing ongoing legal matters. He was indicted for a second murder charge back in 2019 of 23-year old Mark Anthony Saldivar. He's currently still awaiting a trial for that charge which could significantly complicate his legal matters. Despite this, many fans have been vocal online pushing for his status to be re-evaluated. some claim that he had inadequate legal council while others say he was set up by those in his circle.
