So this teenage rapper ends up getting famous for a terrible reason.

Now the guy calls himself Tay-K, and Tay-K is 16 when this story starts and he's living in Texas, and Bro is a small-time rapper who is starting to get a following.

He mostly uploads his stuff to SoundCloud and YouTube, it's kind of that thing.

But rap isn't the only thing Tay-K's doing.

On the side, he and his friends make money by straight up robbing people.

In fact, according to what I read, they don't have jobs, they just rap and rob people.

So one day in 2016, one of these robberies goes wrong.

Because one of Tay-K's friends comes up with a plan to make them all a bit of money.

So his friend has a boyfriend, this guy, Zachary.

And I guess she's not really into her boyfriend all that much, because she believes that Zachary has money and drugs stashed in his apartment, and she wants to rob him.

And so she goes to Tay-K and his friends, and she suggests that they go to Zachary's place and steal whatever he's got.

And I guess Tay-K and his friends are like, alright.

So her plan is for she and two of her female friends to go over to Zachary's apartment beforehand, then once Tay-K and the guys arrive, the three girls will unlock the door and let them in.

Then they'll grab whatever cash and drugs they can find, and they'll leave.

Sounds easy enough.

What could possibly go wrong?

So the day of the robbery finally comes.

And as planned, Takehei and three of his friends put on masks and they pull up to Zachary's apartment.

And one of the girls lets them in.

And as they enter, they start yelling, everyone on the floor, put your hands up!
