Sexyy Red paid tribute to one of Disney Channel’s most memorable traditions while celebrating the Fourth of July.
Following the holiday, on Sunday (July 5), the “Get It Sexyy” rapper shared a video of herself enjoying time outdoors with friends, holding a pair of sparklers.
In the clip, the St. Louis native playfully recreated the classic Disney Channel wand intro, saying, “This [is] Sexyy Red and you’re watching Disney Channel,” as she waved the sparklers through the air.
Sexyy Red appeared to be in much better spirits after attending the July 1 memorial service for late producer Tay Keith, who played a key role in creating some of her early hits, including “Pound Town” and “SkeeYee.”
The memorial, held in Keith’s hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, was also attended by Gunna and producer Turbo. Tay Keith, whose real name was Brytavious Lakeith Chambers, was found dead in his Nashville apartment on June 18 at the age of 29.
A few days after Keith’s passing, Rebel Music attorney Dameka Davis addressed online rumors claiming Sexyy Red had failed to pay the late producer for several songs. The speculation surfaced after the rapper shared a heartfelt tribute to him on Instagram.
“I’ve worked closely with the legal counsel and team for Tay Keith to finalize the royalty agreement to fully compensate him for his valuable contributions as a musical collaborator with Sexyy,” Davis said in a statement to Complex.
“In fact, we were in the final stages of getting Tay Keith fully compensated before his shocking passing this week,” the statement continued. “We are expediting finishing this work with Tay Keith’s attorney in order for full payment to be made to his estate as soon as possible.”
