Tay-K, 'The Race' Rapper, Found Guilty of Murder for the Second Time
A jury in Bexar County, Texas, has found Tay-K guilty of murder, News 4 San Antonio reports. It is the second time that the rapper behind the viral song 'The Race' has been found guilty of murder.
Tay-K was accused by Bexar County prosecutors of shooting and killing a 23-year-old photographer named Mark Anthony Saldivar. He is said to have murdered Saldivar, in April 2017, while on the run from authorities who sought him after he fled house arrest.
Importantly, Tay-K was found guilty of murder and not capital murder, the latter of which carries a mandatory life sentence. He still faces between five and 99 years in prison.
Tay-K is currently serving a 55-year prison sentence after being convicted, in the summer of 2019, of participating in a botched home invasion and robbery that left a 21-year-old man named Ethan Walker dead. The incident occurred in Tarrant County, Texas, in 2016.
Tay-K gained notoriety, in June 2017, when the United States Marshals Service publicly sought the rapper's arrest, labeling him a 'violent fugitive.' Not long after the announcement, Tay-K released 'The Race,' a song whose music video now has over 251 million views on YouTube.
Tay-K, whose legal name is Taymor Travon McIntyre, was 16 years old at the time of the incident in Tarrant County, and he was 17 years old at the time of the incident in Bexar County. He is now 24 years old.

‘Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning' Is Now Free on YouTube… Kind of
The eighth and possibly final Mission: Impossible film, The Final Reckoning, is now available on digital download. It comes with tons of special features and can be yours wherever you legally download movies for just $20. But, if you don't want to pay $20, it's also on YouTube for free. In a way. In what appears to be a fun, original way to promote the film's digital release, Paramount has uploaded the entire film to YouTube… in Morse code. It's right now, at the time of publication, Wednesday afternoon, August 20, 2025, still live-broadcasting the film. And considering it's a nearly three-hour movie and the entire thing is being put out there letter by letter, this is probably going to make the Avengers: Doomsday casting livestream seem like a movie trailer by the end. Here it is, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, in full, on YouTube, for free. In Morse code. io9 has reached out to Paramount for potential comment or clarification of the video and will update this post if or when we hear back. Our only real clue as to how or why this is happening, officially, is in the YouTube description. 'A secure livestream of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning full movie is running now. But the Entity has infiltrated every major streaming platform, so this livestream was compromised. The full script had to be transmitted in Morse Code to avoid detection. We need your help decoding it. Your mission begins now.' Does that mean there's more to this? Some kind of fun game? It seems possible, but we don't know enough about Morse code to figure it out. The image chosen with the Morse code, though, does include a few Mission: Impossible Easter eggs. There's William Donloe's knife from the first movie, which returned in this film, as well as a rabbit's foot, the nickname given to a device in the third film that was revealed in this film to be connected to the Entity. So yeah, there's something else going on here. But, ultimately, the aim is to let people know they can get Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning at home right now. Mission accomplished. For more on the release, read our article about it and check out this exclusive clip from one of the multiple commentaries. Want more io9 news?

Jake Paul to face lightweight boxing champion Gervonta Davis on Nov. 14
Jake Paul will face Gervonta "Tank" Davis in a boxing match on Nov. 14 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Netflix announced Wednesday. The bout is expected to be the biggest test to date for Paul, a social media star with 28 million followers on Instagram and 21 million followers on YouTube. Paul (12-1) became a professional boxer in January 2020 and has impressed despite limited experience in the ring. He has faced criticism for his competition, however. Most of his opponents have been nonboxers — a former NBA Slam Dunk champion in Nate Robinson, and MMA fighters like Anderson Silva, Tyron Woodley, Ben Askren and Mike Perry. He beat a 59-year-old Mike Tyson, and his lone loss came to boxer Tommy Fury, the half-brother of former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. Paul, 28, is coming off a unanimous decision against former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in June. Davis is without question Paul's most heralded opponent. The 30-year-old WBA lightweight champion is one of the sport's top talents, amassing a 30-0-1 record. Though he stands just 5-foot-5, Davis is known for his vicious punching power and has 28 knockouts in his career. He most recently retained his belt with a majority decision draw against Lamond Roach Jr. in March. Davis' boxing career was in jeopardy after he was arrested on July 11 in an alleged domestic dispute with his ex-girlfriend. According to the Miami-Dade County Clerk's Office, a misdemeanor battery charge against Davis was dropped. Paul vs. Davis is the latest boxing match promoted by Netflix as it gets more involved in live sports. Paul's bout with Tyson last November, for example, peaked at 65 million streams, according to the streaming service. Netflix is also promoting Terence Crawford vs. Canelo Alvarez on Sept. 13, and has WWE Raw and multiple NFL games on Christmas Day. Not everyone in the boxing world is happy Paul vs. Davis is happening. Ryan Garcia, a former WBC interim lightweight champion who lost to Davis in 2023, wrote on social media that "boxing is officially the WWE … integrity of the sport is getting ruined every day."

Paris Hilton Kids Show Features Real-Life Pets and Original Song
Good news for fans of kids' TV shows. Paris Hilton is set to release a new animated series about a girl called Paris and her puppies, aptly titled Paris & Pups. The trailer was released today, and it's exactly what you'd expect. Check it out below. Paris & Pups drops on YouTube in September, from Paris Hilton It's safe to assume that it's no rags to riches story. The show follows the adventures of Paris Star, a 12-year-old girl who lives in the penthouse of the 'The Fabuluxe Hotel' with her five canine friends. Unsurprisingly, it draws its inspiration from Paris' own life. But as they say, stick to what you know. Indeed, Paris' own net worth is estimated to be around $300 million. The Hilton family (including mom Kathy Hilton) are worth over $14 billion dollars. 'I'm beyond excited to finally share Paris & Pups with the world. The series is set in a glamorous hotel full of sparkle, adventure and heart — a place that feels like home to me after growing up in hotels and making them my playground,' said Paris (via People), who also recorded the show's theme song. Paris and Pups is being produced by Paris' own media company, 11:11 Media, in partnership with 9 Story Media Group and HappyNest Entertainment. A cutesy kids' show seems like a bit of an unlikely move for Paris. Could it be that motherhood has softened the famously hard-edged star? She and husband Carter Reum welcomed two children via surrogacy in 2023. Paris paid tribute to her little ones in an Instagram post earlier this year, saying 'They've shown me a whole new kind of happiness and have taught me more about myself than I ever could have imagined. I feel so lucky to be their mama.' If you want to check the show out (choices!), the first four episodes arrive on YouTube on September 23.
