New York drill rapper Kay Flock, whose real name is Kevin Perez, recently addressed his fans following a significant update in his ongoing legal battle. On March 21, 2025, the artist shared his thoughts via Instagram Story after a court found him guilty of several charges tied to a 2021 shooting incident involving Hwascar Hernandez. While convicted on multiple counts—including RICO violations, firearm possession, and assault—Flock was notably acquitted of the murder in aid of racketeering charge linked to Hernandez’s death. His sentencing for the convictions is scheduled for July 16, 2025, marking nearly four years since he first entered custody.
Flock, who last released music with his Make America Flock Again EP in September 2024, has been relatively quiet on the creative front but continues to keep his loyal fanbase informed about his circumstances. Expressing a mix of relief and resilience, he used the platform to reflect on the outcome, offering words of encouragement despite the serious penalties he still faces. The acquittal on the murder charge appears to be a point of gratitude for the rapper, even as the other guilty verdicts loom large, potentially carrying significant prison time. His message underscores his determination to stay connected with supporters as he navigates this challenging chapter.
