According to a well-informed source, Tay-K is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2025. But while the rapper's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.

Why not McIntyre for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 24-year-old rapper, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes McIntyre so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the rapper have already been named ‘American Of The Year’ by some major American newspapers and even ‘Long Beach Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Long Beach (Tay-K's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the rapper was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Tay-K Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 23 May 2025
“Congrats! Taymor has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 23 May 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Tay-K?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 23 May 2025
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Tay-K?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.
