Super producer Tay Keith has passed away at the age of 29. And although it has only been two days since his passing, there is already drama surrounding his death.
Tay Keith’s Team Shuts Down Claim That He Sued Sexyy Red
In a post shared by MyMixtapez on X, court docs revealed that Tay Keith was suing rap artist Sexyyy Red. Over non-payment for several of her hit records, such as Get it Sexyyy and You My Everything.
Tay Keith’s team released a statement amid the allegations. And said that any issues between the artists were not personal. But rather a “legal formality” in a dispute between their labels.
“The dispute is between the parties’ respective labels, and naming Sexyy Red in the lawsuit was a legal formality. Any allegations are directed at the label, not Red personally. Both labels have been cooperating, and the matter is close to being resolved,” a spokesperson for the producer said in a statement shared by Loren Lorosa on X (formerly Twitter).
The rep also says that Tay Keith and Sexyy Red “remained friends,” amid the dispute between their labels. And also says that they were in the process of releasing new music together.
“Tay and Red remained friends, and he considered her a sister. They were in the studio together as recently as last week, working on new music. We appreciate Red’s sentiments and condolences during this difficult time,” the statement concludes.
