Nas,The Lost Tapes 2
Today, Nas finds himself mired in another sort of valley.
In addition to the murder count, Tay-K was convicted on three counts of aggravated robbery.
The sentences will run concurrently.
A capital-murder conviction would have carried with it a mandatory minimum sentence of 40 years.
He was arrested by U.S.
Marshals in New Jersey the same day the video premiered.
Tay-Ks career as a rapper is far from incidental to the case.
But in recent years, prosecutors have increasingly turned to rap records as evidence.
Unlike in the Mansfield incident, prosecutors argue that Tay-K was the shooter in this instance.
That case is still ongoing.
He also faces prosecution in an unrelated Arlington robbery.
Every Free Tay-K T-shirt that was ever sold has my sons blood on it.
Is anyone still mourning XXXTentacion, she asks in the video that circulated.
Hes a rapper who was murdered; hes dead now.
Which is very tragic, but I also think it would be a very good Venmo commercial.
Thats the first thing I thought when I heard that.
Like,I dont have Venmo.
I should get Venmo.
The bit was posted by a Comedy Central social-media account.
At press time, Hashems Twitter account remained protected.
YG was not present during the raid of his home, and he has not been detained or arrested.
