Lil Bibby is the latest rapper to support Texas rapper Tay-K amid his legal woes. Tay-K, born Taymor Travon McIntyre, is facing capital murder charges for his role in a home invasion robbery.
Bibby wrote on his Twitter account, “Free lil Tay K.”
XXXTentacion is also supporting the embattled rapper. X posted a message onto his IG account that read, “Free Tay-K.”
X, who is battling his own legal woes, took to IG to write, probably empathizes with his fellow Southern artist who is charged with capital murder.
Tay-K became infamous on the underground rap scene after he cut his ankle monitor off during his house arrest stint.
Tay-K was on the run for a month before he was captured by U.S. Marshals on Friday, June 30 in New Jersey. He has since been extradited to Fort Worth.
A judge ordered the 17-year-old rapper to be held in adult jail until he is certified as an adult in the Mansfield case. Tay-K was booked into Tarrant County Jail on Thursday afternoon, according to the Star-Telegram.
Tay-K was arrested for the murder of 21-year-old Ethan Walker during a home invasion robbery in Mansfield, TX. He was one of seven people charged in connection with the July 26, 2016 robbery and slaying.
Tay-K is a suspect in another murder in San Antonio after fleeing house arrest, the Star-Telegram reports. He is also accused of beating and robbing a 65-year-old man in Arlington’s Craven Park.
Tay-K grew in popularity after the release of his music video for song “The Race.”
