Tyre Sampson was the teenager who fell to his death at ICON amusement park in Orlando Fl. The unfortunate situation garnered tons of press and sympathy from many people around the world. However, a popular singer by the name of YK Osiris allegedly used the tragedy for his own personal benefit. According to the mother and brother of Tyre, YK lied about paying for Tyre’s funeral.
The Shade Room uploaded a post from Sampson’s brother that read, “YK Osiri or whatever dude name is cancelled. Used lil bro for pure clout. Didn’t pay a dime but told the world otherwise.
“Even posted a fake screenshot of a GoFundMe donation. Stop pretending you about giving back to the community just to get your sales up. Lame as hell.” Tyre’s mother, Nekia Dodd agreed and added, “And he blocked me on IG too!”
YK Osiris told TMZ, “I did get in touch with them,” he said. “I’m talking to them right now in terms of the process of it. But yeah, I’m talking to them right now. Just outside of music, I have a big heart and things like that, I know they was waiting on the amusement park to do they thing or whatever, but things gotta happen quicker.” He added, “I feel like it was just a devastating thing for the parents, for everybody in his family, so I had to make it happen. Somebody had to make it happen. In the celebrity world, we got too much power and we got too big of a platform to not help with things like that.”
YK later denied capping about paying for the funeral. Maybe he should just produce receipts if he did indeed pay.
