Last week, the Columbus Police Department issued a missing person announcement for 15-year-old Tyrone Giles, who was last seen near Oakland Park. The news prompted concern throughout the community. Fortunately, Tyrone has been found safe. However, his return has taken an unexpected turn as he released a diss track aimed at his grandmother, who reported him missing.
In the track, Tyrone raps: “I just been chillin’, livin’ like this hoe cappin’ Or not missin’, let you know This hoe crazy, on God, this lil’ hoe trippin’ Talk my dad on me, said I ain’t missin’, I’m just standin’ on bendin’ You talkin’ bout you gon’ get me? Nah, lil’ hoe, you just trippin’ Don’t forget on your grandson, don’t make me come through with them switches On God, hoe, why you done lied to the whole net? Talkin’ bout on me, said I ain’t missin’, I’m just livin’ my best Don’t wanna come back home to granny, she know what up next She keep on talkin’, I send shots straight through her chest Fuck granny, I’ma keep on this Fuck granny, I’ma keep on this Fuck granny”
The explicit language and violent imagery in the song have drawn criticism, raising questions about the young rapper’s state of mind and his motivations for creating such content.
A family member has spoken out about the situation, providing context to Tyrone’s behavior:
“For those of you asking the questions, this is my nephew. He has been living with his grandmother, my mother, who has had custody of him for most of his life. His mother is not present but his father does provide some financial assistance. My mother has been taking primary care of him and his three siblings, doing the best she can on a fixed income since their grandfather passed in 2012. These kids have been raised to be respectful and had a much better life than they could have had if my mom had not been given custody of them. My mother suffered a stroke in August of 2022 and although this young man has always been a challenge, he has really lost his mind since her stroke. He ran away after Easter because he wanted to be grown and have young girls sleeping over and my mom was not having it. My mom is concerned for his safety because he is aligning himself with the wrong people and activities but he is more concerned about getting internet clout by disrespecting his grandma. These kids are just out of order, it doesn’t matter how well they are raised or provided for or whether or not the parents are present and actively involved. They want to be grown and do what they want to do without fully understanding what being grown is really all about. He is out here just clout chasing, so please just ignore his antics. I never thought I would be on the internet having one of these conversations, but here we are.”
The Columbus Police Department has not commented on the diss track.
