Rapper Dirty Tay Bags 17 Years In Prison For Shooting Toddler
Court records from HipHopDX reveal that Dirty Tay, a protege of Lil Baby, was sentenced to 17 years in prison following a 2022 shooting incident that endangered a young child’s life.
The rapper, whose real name is Kentavious Wright, accepted a plea deal and was incarcerated on April 26.
Originally facing a capital felony charge, which carried the possibility of the death penalty, he ultimately pleaded guilty to a lesser felony and will serve the reduced sentence of 17 years. It remains uncertain if Dirty Tay will be considered for parole before completing his term.
Dirty Tay dropped two albums, Way Bigger on the Low and Too Turnt Up, under Lil Baby’s 4PF label in 2020. His tracks “Beast” and “Don’t Wanna Do It” gained over a million streams each on Spotify.
The incident occurred on August 3, 2022, when a man and his three-year-old son were shot while leaving the Off the Hook barbershop in southwest Atlanta.
As per the authorities, the father and son were driving along Peters Street when a Kia made a U-turn and started tailing them. The vehicle pulled up next to the passenger side at an intersection and fired multiple shots, resulting in the child getting hit in the head.
The father reported that around five shots were discharged before the suspect drove to a fire station. Three 9mm shell casings were discovered at the crime scene. The child was quickly taken to the hospital and was stabilized a few hours after the shooting.
