Tay-K fuels early release rumors with a cryptic Instagram video, following his sister's claim he’s "coming home.
- June 10, 2026
AceShowbiz - Tay-K has fueled speculation about a possible early release from prison after sharing a cryptic video on his Instagram account.
On June 9, the rapper posted a short clip that appears to show a group of people welcoming someone as they get into a car. However, instead of Tay-K's actual face, the video reveals an animated version of the rapper jumping into the vehicle. This visual choice adds an intriguing layer to the rumors about his release.
The timing of the video follows a recent social media post from his sister, Kayla Beverly. She shared footage that ended a phone call with a contact named "Taymor's Attorney." After hanging up, Kayla turned to a woman believed to be their mother and said, "Your son coming home." Shortly after, Tay-K posted a tweet simply stating, "It's true." These actions have intensified discussions about his legal status.
Tay-K was sentenced in 2025 to 80 years in prison for the 2017 murder of Mark Anthony Saldivar, who was fatally shot in a Chick-Fil-A parking lot in San Antonio while the rapper was evading law enforcement. This sentence runs concurrently with a previous 55-year term for the 2016 murder of Ethan Walker, which included charges of aggravated robbery.
Additionally, Tay-K faces an ongoing case for an assault and robbery incident involving a man named Skip Pepe in Arlington, Texas, which allegedly occurred in 2027 while he was still on the run.
Despite the lengthy sentences, his projected release date is August 8, 2099, though he is eligible for parole in 2049. XXL has reached out to Tay-K's attorney for comment but has yet to receive a response.
The recent social media activity, combined with his sister's hints, has left fans and observers closely watching for any official confirmation about Tay-K's potential release.
