Tay Keith’s rep denied rumors of beef with Sexyy Red, saying their label dispute was nearly resolved before his death.
Tay Keith and Sexyy Red weren’t beefing when he passed, according to his representative. Reports surfaced claiming the two were caught up in a legal dispute at the time of Tay Keith’s death, but that’s not what actually went down.
Tay Keith’s rep sent Loren Lorosa a statement clarifying the situation and shutting down the narrative entirely.
The legal issue wasn’t between Tay Keith and Sexyy Red directly; it was between their respective labels. Red got named in the lawsuit as a legal formality, nothing more. The rep made that crystal clear in the statement.
“Any allegations are directed at the label, not Red personally,” the statement said. Both camps had been cooperating throughout, and the situation was already close to being resolved before his passing.
A REP FOR TAY KEITH JUST SENT A STATEMENT TO ME ON REPORTS THAT TAY KEITH AND SEXYY RED WERE IN A LEGAL DISPUTE AT THE TIME OF HIS PASSING … those reports are NOT true according to the rep.
Here’s the statement I received:

More importantly, Tay Keith and Sexyy Red were solid. Real solid. He considered her a sister, and they were actively working together in the studio as recently as last week on new music. That’s the kind of energy they had, creative, collaborative, and built on mutual respect. The rep emphasized that point to make sure people understood the real dynamic between them, not some fabricated beef narrative.
The initial reports about the dispute had begun circulating, which prompted the statement in the first place. Sexyy Red had already posted her condolences and mourned his loss, showing where her head really was during all this.
The rep wrapped up by saying they appreciate Red’s sentiments and condolences during this difficult time. That says everything: no animosity, just two artists and their teams dealing with loss while clearing the air about what actually happened behind the scenes.
Tay Keith’s legacy lives on through the music he created and the relationships he built, not through drama that never really existed.
