On episode 6 of The Tia Told Me Show, Tia Taylorrr is back after a short break to recap a whirlwind of events across Toronto. She kicks things off with her experience at Caribana, where her media pass from Toronto Carnival made life easier. She shares the wild story of losing her phone after taking a picture, only to track it down hours later to Perfect’s Restaurant in Scarborough, where a man was about to take it back to Trinidad in a barrel with other lost phones.
Tia then dives into a series of event reviews, including Kraff’s high-energy performance at Rebel, where he rocked a fur coat and had a live guitarist. She also covers Lady Hilly’s “De Rave” party, Barbie Doll’s “Barbie’s Playground” event, and offers a critique to promoters about releasing venue locations too late. The main event recap is the historic return of Bounty Killer to Toronto after nearly two decades, featuring standout performances from Baby Sham and Mr. Killa.
The episode takes a serious turn as Tia addresses the tragic passing of 8-year-old Jahvai Roy, who was killed by a stray bullet in his home. She discusses attending his memorial, offering condolences to his mother Holly Roy, and defends Bounty Killer’s donation to the family. Tia closes with a powerful call to action for the city of Toronto, its leaders like Olivia Chow, and the community to step up and provide better opportunities for the youth to combat senseless violence.
