Tay 600 has been trying to clear his name after being accused of snitching on fellow Chicago rappers Cdai and RondoNumbaNine for the murder of taxi driver Javan Boyd in 2014. RondoNumbaNine got 39 years, while Cdai got 38 years after both were found guilty for their roles in Boyd's death.
Recently released court documents show while Tay 600, real name Germontay Carpenter, was named in the paperwork as being present at a party with a group that included Cdai and Rondo, he wasn't listed as speaking with investigators about details of the incident. The paperwork detailed the moments leading up to the shooting, revealing that rapper D-Rose was with Cdai, Rondo and a group of others as they went to Wentworth Gardens, where Javan Boyd was shot and killed. It was revealed that they went to the area to see who shot at a female member of their group, Kaprice Johns, at a party earlier in the evening and "deal with the matter."
Johns told investigators that she witnessed Cdai and Rondo speaking to Boyd before identifying Cdai as the shooter, but denied seeing the actual gun during the trial. She added that "D-Rose ran back to Johns’s car and got inside, saying 'sh*t' and 'he’s dead.'" Surveillance footage captured the incident, which showed a "bright flash of light" near Cdai's hand while he was standing outside of Boyd's vehicle. A fingerprint from Boyd's passenger-side window was confirmed to be from Cdai, but there is conflicting evidence on whether Cdai or Rondo was the shooter in the incident.
Tay 600 reacted to the news on Twitter, writing, "Aye Man Look..I Will Not Be Silent Or Humble About This Win ,I Hope These N***as Hurt By This Sh*t I Went Threw This Sh*t For 5 Years ...Think Of All The Millions & Industry Connections I Missed Out On Cause Mfrs Questioned My Credibility..I Could Have Been Killed For This Sh*t."
Tay 600 previously spoke with VladTV in 2017 about being labeled a snitch by Cdai, and he remained steadfast that he didn't speak with investigators in the incident. You can check out the interview here.
