Sexyy Red Writes Emotional Letter To Judge About Tay Keith

In a heartfelt letter to the judge overseeing the lawsuit involving the late music producer Tay Keith, Sexyy Red expressed her deep concern and confusion regarding her unexpected involvement in the case. This emotional note, dated June 6, 2026, came just days before Tay’s untimely passing, revealing the complexities surrounding the ongoing legal battle over unpaid music royalties.

According to reports, Sexyy Red was taken aback to learn she had been named as a defendant in Tay’s lawsuit against her record label. In her letter, she passionately refuted the claims made in the case, stating, “I am appalled and furthermore hurt by the allegations made.” She emphasized her role as an artist who does not directly handle payments to producers, a responsibility that falls to the label.

Sexyy described her relationship with Tay as both a productive professional partnership and a cherished friendship. She reassured the judge that if there were any outstanding payments owed to Tay, she believed the label was actively working to resolve the issue. “Tay Keith and I are great working partners and even greater friends,” she wrote, shedding light on their collaborative spirit.

The lawsuit claims that Tay worked on 13 songs for Sexyy in 2024 without receiving any compensation. However, Sexyy pointed out that she had yet to receive payment for several tracks they created together, attributing the delays to the label’s payment processes.

In a twist, Tay reportedly expressed confusion over why Sexyy was included in the legal proceedings. She requested the judge to remove her from the case, insisting that the dispute should solely involve the labels involved.

A representative for Tay Keith and the record label clarified to TMZ that Sexyy’s inclusion as a defendant was merely a legal formality. They reiterated that royalty negotiations are typically managed by the labels rather than the artists themselves. Dameka Davis, the label’s attorney, confirmed that they were in the process of finalizing the royalty agreement to ensure Tay was compensated for his contributions.

As the music community mourns the loss of Tay Keith, questions linger about the unresolved financial matters and the impact on those he collaborated with. What will this mean for the future of the artists he worked with?
