This latest development adds to an already turbulent legal history for the rapper. Tay K is currently awaiting trial for a separate 2017 murder, with his next hearing scheduled for February 10, 2025. The rapper rejected a plea deal earlier this year and risks a life sentence if convicted.

The origin of the neck injury remains unclear, but fans have speculated about potential harm within the prison. Despite the cut, some noted Tay K appeared physically active, reportedly working out while incarcerated. Observers also commented on his older appearance in court, drawing attention to his glasses and demeanor.

Tay K’s criminal history includes a 2016 home invasion that led to Ethan Walker’s death and a subsequent 2017 murder during a robbery while on the run. His music video The Race, created during his time evading authorities, gained viral attention and cemented his controversial reputation.

As the legal process continues, Tay K's case remains a focal point of public interest, raising questions about prison safety and the long-term consequences of his legal troubles. His February trial will be pivotal, potentially determining his future both legally and as a cultural figure.
