Social media influencers across the globe are mourning the sudden loss of Malik Taylor, the creator behind the popular handle “The Unpopular Party.” Known on TikTok and Instagram for his sharp “POV” sketches and humorous commentary on pop culture, Taylor was just 28 when his life ended in a tragic car accident in Concord, North Carolina.

Crash Details & Contributing Factors
On August 20, Taylor’s 2016 Nissan Rogue veered off the road and plunged approximately 20 feet. Emergency responders arrived on the scene shortly after, but Taylor was pronounced dead at the site, and authorities confirmed that alcohol is suspected to have played a role in the crash. A coroner determined that the cause of death was multiple blunt force trauma.
Remembering Taylor
Taylor, a 2020 graduate of Austin Peay State University, had recently relocated from Memphis to Charlotte, intending to expand his social media career. His fraternity, Alpha Kappa Psi – Zeta Phi, described him as “a light to everyone—always bringing laughter, joy and a warm smile that brightened every room.”
His last social post, just days before his passing, reflected his excitement for life: revisiting the “27 Club” with humor and optimism.
