The tribute lands only weeks after Sexyy Red found herself addressing a legal dispute involving Tay Keith. Court documents obtained by TMZ say the rapper asked to be removed from a lawsuit tied to the producer’s alleged unpaid royalties. Her argument. as laid out in a letter to the court. was that artists have no control over how record labels handle producer payments.
In that filing, Sexyy Red said she was “appalled” to learn she had been named as a defendant. She emphasized that Tay Keith wasn’t just a close collaborator, but also a “genuine friend,” adding that if he was owed money, it was the label’s responsibility—not hers—to make sure he got paid.
In the days since the funeral tribute went up, the comment section has made one thing clear: the Roomies aren’t just reacting to a post—they’re mourning with her, one photo at a time.

Wait that’s her at the funeral?? Wow.
It’s really sad 😢 I didn’t even know Tay Keith had passed. But the black outfit and casket pic is like… a lot, just feels personal ya know.
Not to be weird but didn’t she just get in some court thing recently? Like how does that connect to the funeral tribute, is this like PR timing or am I mixing stories up? I swear I saw something about a dispute on TikTok.
“Roomies” always doing the most but this one actually got me. The Kobe and Shaq comparison is kinda wild though, like people always gotta hype relationships with sports analogies. Also the article said weeks after the court filing so I’m confused—was he in court stuff too or is it just some random separate case? Either way, condolences to his family.
