On Thursday, June 21, Walker shared a lengthy Instagram post about his accomplishments behind bars. He spoke to his supporters about his new educational accomplishments and the leadership roles he has taken on.

“He is currently serving a sentence of 50 years to life in prison. After 2 1/2 years inside, here's what's happening. I have currently passed 6 university courses with straight A's, I am currently on track to obtain my master's degree in sociology, psychology and communication. I am currently a leader and speaker for an NA and AA group, which helps incarcerated inmates use and avoid drugs and alcohol in prison. I am currently a lead speaker in 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 motivate myself to continue here, you can do the same there. Despite your current situation, always remember that God has the final say. Stay resilient.

More details on 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 called “sophisticated” sexual assaults against the seventh woman. He was convicted by a jury in April 2022 for his crimes.

In her closing argument, Assistant District Attorney Cynthia Wallace called Kaalan 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 enduring 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 were like a never-ending nightmare. She also expressed her gratitude to Kehlani and India Marie for their support during this difficult time.

“This has been happening since 2017. It feels like a never-ending nightmare. I've been in survival mode for five years. It's finally over. May this remind you that justice IS possible. Your story matters and someone believes you. This will never happen again. To all his survivors that I have met and have not met, I love you by default and congratulations.
