Lil Baby Signee Dirty Tay Sentenced to 17 Years in Prison for Accidentally Shooting Toddler in the Head

Dirty Tay, a signee of rapper Lil Baby, has been sentenced to 17 years in prison after a shooting incident in 2022 that left a toddler critically injured. The aspiring rapper, whose real name is Kentavious Wright, was officially sent to prison on April 26 after accepting a plea deal that reduced his charges from a capital felony to a lesser felony.

The shooting took place on August 3, 2022, in southwest Atlanta, where a man and his three-year-old son were shot at while leaving a barbershop. The child was struck in the head during the incident and had to be rushed to the hospital for treatment.

Dirty Tay, who released two albums on Lil Baby’s label in 2020, denied his involvement in the shooting on social media, claiming innocence despite the evidence against him. He was arrested on a dozen charges, including attempted murder, aggravated assault, and cruelty to children.

The sentencing of Dirty Tay has sparked controversy and discussion within the hip-hop community, with many fans expressing shock and disappointment over the incident. Lil Baby has not made any public statements regarding the situation.

It remains to be seen whether Dirty Tay will be eligible for parole before serving his full 17-year sentence. The case serves as a reminder of the consequences of gun violence and the impact it can have on innocent lives.
