Tay K sparks concern with neck injury during court appearance amid pending murder trial

Tay K's court appearance reveals a neck injury, sparking speculation about prison safety ahead of his 2025 trial.

Pictures from rapper Taymor Travon McIntyre, known as Tay K, at a recent court appearance have raised online concern. The 24-year-old, serving a 55-year sentence for a 2016 murder, appeared with a noticeable cut on his neck, sparking speculation. Fans and online personalities, including DJ Akademiks, shared images, with some questioning whether the injury occurred during his time in prison.

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.
