Malik Taylor, TikTok Star & Creator of ‘The Unpopular Party’ YouTube Channel, Has Passed Away At 28: ‘A Light To Everyone’
TikTok star Malik Taylor’s life has come to a tragic end at just 28 years old.
His d*ath was confirmed in a Facebook post from Alpha Kappa Psi, his business fraternity at Austin Peay State University, where he graduated in 2020.
“It is with heavy hearts that we share our beloved Brother, Malik Taylor, has gone to ‘Audit Eternal,’” the post read. “To know him was to know he was a light to everyone—always bringing laughter, joy and a warm smile that brightened every room he entered.” The fraternity added, “Though your time with us was far too short, you were a good and faithful Brother, and the ‘Great Auditor’ will reward you for your everlasting work.”
Taylor built a following of more than 250,000 across Instagram and TikTok with his witty breakdowns of pop culture and comedic “POV” videos. He also created content for his YouTube channel, The Unpopular Party, which has over 94,000 subscribers.
Just one day before his death, Taylor told fans about his move to Charlotte, N.C., declaring, “The Queen City need the king.”
As of now, his cause of d*ath has not been officially confirmed, though some outlets have claimed he passed away in a car accident.
Prayers to his fans and supporters.
