After it was reported that incarcerated podcaster Taxstone was sentenced to 35 years in prison for the deadly shooting in Irving Plaza in 2016, the 37-year-old podcast pioneer took to social media to let his supporters and followers that his legal fight isn’t over yet.

It was reported earlier this week that Daryl Campbell aka Taxstone was sentenced to 35 years behind bars after being convicted of the 2016 shooting death of Ronald McPhatter, who was a friend and bodyguard of rapper Troy Ave. The pioneering podcaster took to Twitter to speak in his sentence, which he anticipates he will win on appeal.

Taxstone’s tweet read, “Just got 35 years for being victimized and reversing the situation. The beauty in it all is, I’m not doing 35. Be safe though.” He later added, “Don’t worry my appeal will be swift.”

Maino is adamant about Troy Ave twisting his version of the 2016 shooting at Irving Plaza that left one man dead and two others injured, even going as far as defending Taxstone, saying that Troy Ave thought he was going to get a Worldstar moment at the podcaster’s expense.

The Brooklyn rapper made his return to Angela Yee’s new “Way Up With Angela Yee” show and being an eyewitness, he contends that Troy Ave and his crew were the true aggressors.

The “All Of The Above” rapper said that he was with Uncle Murda, who were both scheduled to perform, before the melee broke out. Maino says that Taxstone was just enjoying the T.I, show when he trouble approached him. This was totally contrary to Troy Ave’s side of the story.

The shooting took the life of Troy Ave’s friend and bodyguard, Ronald “Banga” McPhatter.
