NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – Metro Nashville Police have confirmed the death of Grammy-nominated producer Brytavious Chambers, better known as Tay Keith.
The 29-year-old was found dead in his Martin Street apartment Thursday afternoon, MNPD said.
“No foul play is suspected,” police added, saying that his body was discovered as officers performed a welfare check.
Chambers’ cause of death has not yet been determined.
In his last post on Instagram, Chambers promoted doing what he loved — helping create music for major artists. His last post on May 7 was an announcement for Chris Brown’s latest song, “Call Your Name,” which features Sexyy Red and GloRilla.
He was among those included in Forbes’ 30 Under 30 Music list in 2025, earning the listing alongside Cambrian Strong for their Drumatized record label.
“At 23, Tay Keith became a Grammy-nominated producer for his work on Travis Scott’s ‘Sicko Mode,’ adding to his roster of clients like Cardi B, Eminem and music’s ‘Queen B’ Beyoncé,” the Forbes’ listing says.
In 2024, Forbes added that he was awarded producer of the year at the BMI Awards.
According to Memphis-based outlet Commercial Appeal, Chambers was born in South Memphis and later lived in East Memphis and later, Orange Mound.
He was nominated for a Grammy in 2018 for his work on Travis Scott’s “Sicko Mode,” which he helped produce as he attended Middle Tennessee State University.

According to MTSU, Chambers graduated from the school in December 2018 with degrees in integrated studies and media management.
“There wouldn’t be any point for me to come to college if I didn’t want to finish it — I could have just focused 100% on music,” MTSU quoted him as saying. “By my last week of college, I had my first No. 1 single, so it didn’t make any sense to drop out.”
Much of his success was joined by people who also attended MTSU. Tyland Jackson, his stylist and creative director, graduated from MTSU in 2019, and Nicholas Brownlow, who was his public relations director and Drumatized, graduated that same year.
“I remember having a flight from New York, and I had a test the same day,” Chambers told MTSU. “So, I flew back from New York that morning, went home, then went straight to class. It was crazy. But if I knew that I could do that, then there wasn’t anything stopping me but myself.”

“All my Children” star Paul Avery and his wife, Sheila, tragically died in a devastating house fire in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
According to WFMZ, the actor, who was 81, and his wife were inside their Blairstown, New Jersey home when it went up in flames.
Firefighters got to the residence before 1 a.m. on Tuesday and pulled the couple out of the flame-engulfed house.
However, Paul and Sheila were in critical condition and died shortly after, per Ridge View Echo.
At the time of his death, Paul was the founder and executive editor of the Ridge View Echo.
Paul’s friend and writer at the paper, Joe Phalon, told WFMZ: “I always like to call Paul the most interesting man in the world, because he was when you consider everything he’s done in his life. Acting, skydiving, Vietnam veteran, started a newspaper.”
He added that Paul’s passing will “leave a real void in this community.”
“Not just Blairstown, but the towns around as well,” Phalon expressed. “I think we’ll really miss him, and I think it’s going to become more apparent over time.”
The cause of the blaze is currently under investigation.
The pair’s daughter, Kyle, took to Facebook to confirm the news on Tuesday.
“I’m devastated to share that our parents, Paul and Sheila Garry Avery, passed away early this morning,” she penned.
“We loved them so much, and they loved us so much, and nobody ever had to wonder if that was so,” Kyle added.
As a teen, Paul was a skydiver before serving as a helicopter crew chief in the Vietnam War. He continued to fly planes as a hobby after exiting the military.
Paul starred on the soap opera “All My Children” for 12 years in the 1980s.
He portrayed a bartender at Foxy’s named Hughie.
Paul also played a cameraman in 1978’s “Superman” and appeared on episodes of “Soap” and “Three’s Company.”
After retiring from acting, the late veteran dove into journalism, first working at the New York Times before landing as founding editor of Ridge View Echo.

No less than 24 hours after Netflix dropped the ax on “The Boroughs,” Nielsen’s latest streaming rankings suggest the sci-fi drama was far from dead on arrival.
For the week of May 18-24, the canceled Duffer Brothers-produced series — whose eight-episode first season dropped on May 21 — ranked No. 2 among all streaming originals with 1.2 billion minutes viewed. That said, Nielsen reports that roughly 57% of the audience was age 50 or older.
It came in directly behind fellow freshman Netflix drama “Nemesis,” which jumped from No. 3 to No. 1 among all streaming originals with 1.31 billion minutes viewed in the week following its May 14 release. Nielsen also notes that Black viewers contributed 57% of the show’s watch time.
Rounding out the Top 3 was Prime Video’s “The Boys,” which generated 1.07 billion minutes viewed the week of its series finale.
Netflix’s “Nemesis” and “The Boroughs” remained No. 1 and No. 2 on the Overall Top 10 chart, while “Dutton Ranch” fell to No. 10 and every other original series dropped out of the rankings altogether.
Among acquired programming, Disney+’s “Bluey” reclaimed the top spot.
On the movies chart, the Netflix documentary “The Crash” finished first in its second week of availability.

Is Supergirl going to fly?
The first wave of social media reactions are below for the DC Studios release, which stars Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon) as Kara Zor-El, who sets out to save her beloved dog Krypto. Supergirl also stars Jason Momoa, making his fan-anticipated debut as the antihero Lobo.
The Craig Gillespie-directed film marks another key moment for DC, which last year successfully launched its new creative era under co-chief James Gunn with Superman.
Keeping in mind that social media first reactions to advance screenings always tend to skew at least slightly more positive than a film’s eventual consensus, here’s what influencers, fan bloggers and some critics are saying.
Supergirl opens June 28.
Mike Ryan: “SUPERGIRL is not at all what I was expecting. I, too, assumed ‘superhero space movie with needle drops’ would have a similar tone to GOTG or even Superman. Instead it looks and plays more like a Mad Max movie, with dirty worlds, gross villains and a self destructive hero.”
Gizmodo: “Supergirl is highly enjoyable. It doesn’t quite have the resonance of Superman, but it acts as both a perfect companion and follow-up to that movie with better characters and more complex relationships. It’s also incredibly emotional, which makes the action hit even harder.”
Den of Geek: “Supergirl is the superhero movie I’ve missed: a straightforward, poignant story with lots of emotion, especially when we see Kara through little Ruthye’s eyes. Luckily that’s every action scene. Milly Alcock absolutely owns the role and will change our idea of Supergirl forever.”
The Mary Sue: “SUPERGIRL is everything I wanted it to be. Girls can be messy and that rules! Kara isn’t her cousin and I really loved how this movie makes that clear. She’s a different kind of hero and perfect in every way.”
CineXpress: “SUPERGIRL is a solid follow-up to last summer’s Superman. More serious and emotionally heavier in tone, it delivers a cool intergalactic road trip that evokes Guardians of the Galaxy, with a dash of Mad Max: Fury Road and a bit of Thor: The Dark World. Milly Alcock is a total badass, delivering a performance that’s both fierce and vulnerable as Kara Zor-El. Can’t wait to see her in future interactions with her cousin and other heroes in the DCU. Keep them coming!”
That Hollywood Show: “#Supergirl SOARS! Milly Alcock is the perfect Kara. This film is filled with gorgeous set pieces and dazzling action sequences. Momoa IS LOBO, but I wanted more of him. The scenes with Clark are priceless. Third act is F’N fun. The future is bright with this Supergirl.”
The AU Review: “Supergirl channels the energy of Gunn’s SUPERMAN while carving out its own identity. Surprisingly dark themes, MAD MAX vibes, and a JOHN WICK-style motivation drive the story. Milly Alcock shines, and Jason Momoa brings his trademark chaotic charm.”
The Direct: “Milly Alcock is a Kryptonian powerhouse and the perfect Kara Zor-El. The film has a strong heart, giving an interesting and complex character journey for Kara. Jason Momoa is clearly born to play Lobo, and the DCU is only better with those two now in it.”
Discussing Film: “Milly Alcock steps into the role of #SUPERGIRL wonderfully and it’s refreshing to root for a heroine with a unique hard edge. Unfortunately the film around her takes far too long to step into gear and never quite matches her energy.”
Geeks of Color: “Supergirl is the best blockbuster of the summer! Terrific action but what sells it is the heart and the characters. Milly Alcock is a force to be reckoned with! Eve Ridley is also incredible & Jason Momoa is pitch perfect as Lobo. One of the best DC films!”
Who Let Us Out: “Supergirl starts off as a slow burn, but once it finds its footing, it soars. Milly Alcock is incredibly relatable, bringing heart, vulnerability, and strength to Kara’s journey of embracing her imperfections and discovering the power within. The film balances emotional character growth with some truly epic action sequences, while Jason Momoa’s Lobo is an absolute scene-stealer. He was born to play this role.”

Jason Sudeikis is reportedly frustrated after his ex-fiancée, Olivia Wilde, went into detail about the end of their relationship.
During the Wednesday, June 17, episode of Call Her Daddy, Wilde, 42, spoke about a specific conversation she and Sudeikis, 50, had that made her realize their relationship was over.
“Jason and I had been having a rough time for a while. We had a real bumpy, bumpy ride,” the Don’t Worry Darling director told podcast host Alex Cooper.
Wilde went on to explain that on the way home from a birthday celebration for her, she asked the Ted Lasso star if he had gotten her anything for her birthday.
“He said, ‘What would I get you, Olivia? I don’t know you,'” she recalled. “And he wasn’t wrong. We didn’t know each other anymore. That was when we realized it was over.”
However, sources close to the actor told Rob Shuter’s Naughty But Nice Substack on Thursday, June 18, that he felt like Wilde’s version of events left out important context.
“The narrative makes it sound like Jason simply checked out of the relationship,” one source said. “People close to them remember a far more complicated situation.”
Another source said that Sudeikis and “those closest to him feel the real story is being overlooked.”
“From their perspective, everything changed when Olivia fell for Harry [Styles],” the source continued. Wilde and Styles, 32, were in a relationship for nearly two years after meeting on the set of her film, Don’t Worry Darling in 2020 — around the same time she and Sudeikis called it quits.
“Jason has spent years rebuilding his life,” the source added. “He doesn’t understand why old wounds need to be reopened when everyone involved is trying to move on.”
A third source told Naughty But Nice that Sudeikis was initially worried about his kids learning of the former couple’s conversation in the future.
“Jason is incredibly private and was shocked to see this story resurface years later,” the source explained. “His first thought was their children. One day they’ll read these interviews, and that’s what hurts the most.”
The Tron: Legacy actress and Sudeikis first began dating in 2011 and went on to welcome two children – Otis, 12, and Daisy, 9.
