Malik Taylor, a rising Tiktok star, known for his keen wit and pop culture commentary, died on August 20, 2025 in a bicycle accident in Concord, North Carolina. He is 28 years old.
Concord police said they found Taylor’s Nissan Rogue overturned at the bottom of a 20-foot embankment in Lapis Lane NW. He was the only person in the car and was pronounced dead by the Cabarus County EMS.
According to the medical examiner, Taylor died of multiple blunt force injuries suffered in the crash. Investigators say there is no evidence to suggest a foul, but alcohol is believed to be a factor.
