Carlos Coy, most famously known as South Park Mexican or SPM, has been denied parole after serving over two decades for a heinous crime. The Texas rapper, who once enjoyed considerable success in the late 1990s and early 2000s blending Southern hip-hop with Latin musical influences, was convicted in 2001 for the sexual assault of a 9-year-old girl. This denial means Carlos Coy will remain incarcerated, facing a longer wait before another chance at parole.
According to reports from My San Antonio, the court’s decision to deny Carlos Coy parole was delivered on Monday, January 13th. Now, South Park Mexican, legally known as Carlos Coy, must wait until January 2028 before he can again apply for parole. Should his plea be denied at that time as well, Carlos Coy is slated to serve his full sentence, with a projected release date of April 8, 2047.
The official reasoning behind the denial highlights the severity and nature of Carlos Coy’s crime. “The record indicates the instant offense has elements of brutality, violence, assaultive behavior, or conscious selection of victim’s vulnerability indicating a conscious disregard of the lives, safety, or property of others, such that the offender poses a continuing threat to public safety,” the parole board stated. This statement underscores the gravity of the crime committed by Carlos Coy and the perceived ongoing risk he poses.
Carlos Coy, under the moniker South Park Mexican, rose to prominence in the hip-hop scene, carving out a niche with his fusion of Southern rap sounds and Latin rhythms. His music gained significant traction, particularly in the late 90s and early 2000s. However, his career trajectory was abruptly halted with his 2001 conviction. Despite this, South Park Mexican’s music continues to find listeners on various streaming platforms, demonstrating a lingering, albeit controversial, legacy.

In other news, unrelated to the Carlos Coy case but reflecting a broader trend of addressing serious offenses, rapper Akon recently collaborated with controversial internet personality Vitaly Zdorovetskiy. Last summer, Akon joined one of Vitaly’s controversial “child predator sting operations,” which are livestreamed on platforms like Kick.
Footage from one such operation shows Akon and Vitaly, accompanied by a group of men in tribal attire, confronting an individual in a public park suspected of being a pedophile and allegedly engaging with a minor. After confronting and questioning the man, Akon, in a bizarre turn of events, was handed a microphone and began performing his hit song “Locked Up” through a portable speaker.
Akon subtly altered the lyrics to fit the situation, singing, “You’re about to get locked up / They won’t let you out,” before pointedly stating, “You’re literally getting locked up, bro.”

Following this performance, law enforcement officers arrived and arrested the man, as Akon continued to sing. Earlier that same week, rapper The Game was involved in a similar livestream with Vitaly. In their operation, The Game confronted an alleged pedophile in a public restroom.
The Game’s confrontation was more aggressive, as he threw a cake at the man’s face before delivering a harsh verbal condemnation, saying, “You got a sickness, bro. You need to kill yourself. What’s going on in your mind?” Later in the extended livestream, which lasted nearly five hours, The Game engaged in a surprisingly empathetic conversation with the accused individual.

“You gotta change your ways. It’s not cool, man. As sick as the whole operation is, some part of me still got a heart,” The Game expressed. “I feel bad for you, homie. And I shouldn’t feel bad for you. You better than this, bro. I got kids, homie.” The man reportedly agreed to cooperate with Vitaly and The Game in future sting operations targeting other suspected sex offenders.
It is important to note that, similar to the Akon stream, the events depicted in The Game’s livestream have not been independently verified or fact-checked. These incidents, while separate from the legal case of Carlos Coy, highlight a broader public discourse around crimes against children and the varied, sometimes unconventional, ways in which these issues are being addressed in the public sphere. For Carlos Coy, however, the legal consequences remain firmly in place, with his parole denial marking another chapter in his ongoing incarceration.
