“Currently serving a sentence of 50 years to life in prison. After 2 and a half years inside, here’s what’s happening. I have currently passed 6 university courses with straight A’s and am on track to receive my master’s degree in sociology, psychology and communications. I am currently a leader and speaker for an NA and AA group that helps inmates get rid of drugs and alcohol in prison. I am currently the keynote speaker for a group called ‘Fatherless Fathers’ where I coach and teach other inmates of all races and ages how to deal with the trauma of growing up without a father.”
Kaalan also included a motivational message for his readers.
“If I’m motivating myself to continue here, you can do the same out there. Despite your current situation, always remember that God has the final word. Stay resilient.”

More details about Kaalan’s trial and prison sentence
According to The Shade Room, as a result of Walker’s crimes, Judge Joseph Brandolino ordered him to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
Three of the individuals he victimized were 16-year-old aspiring models. From 2013 until late 2018, Walker engaged in what prosecutors characterized as “sophisticated” sexual assaults against the seventh woman. He was convicted by a jury in April 2022 of his crimes.
In her closing argument, Assistant District Attorney Cynthia Wallace referred to Kaalan as a “serial rapist” who falsely invoked Drake’s name with most of his victims.
Following the announcement of Kaalan’s verdict in 2022, Kehlani spoke out on Instagram, criticizing bloggers who remained neutral. In the video, which lasted more than a minute, she expressed her hope that the victims would find peace after going through such a traumatic situation.
Sydney Stanford, one of Kaalan’s victims, posted a deeply emotional message on Instagram, revealing that his actions began in 2017 and felt like an endless nightmare. She also expressed gratitude to Kehlani and India Marie for your support during this challenging time.
“This has been happening since 2017. It seemed like an endless nightmare. I’ve been in survival mode for five years. Finally it’s over. Let this be your reminder that justice IS possible. Your story matters and that someone will believe in you. This will never happen again. To all the survivors I have met and have not met, I love you by default and congratulations.”
