Is rapper YNW Melly dead? What is the current status of the imprisoned rapper? Learn all there is to know.
Is rapper YNW Melly dead? Or has Jamell Maurice Demons, also known as YNW Melly been released from prison? Both types of misinformation and rumors are doing the rounds. Neither of the rumors is true and the truth is that the trial is yet to begin.
Melly’s mother Jamie King announced on the rapper’s Instagram account that Melly’s trial will begin on June 5. Broward Circuit Judge John Murphy has reduced the threshold of the death penalty if the rapper is convicted. The judge has accepted prosecutors’ request allowing juries to recommend capital punishment with an 8-4 vote rather than a unanimous vote.
Earlier the investigators found evidence that Melly fatally shot Anthony Williams and Christopher Thomas Jr. According to Blackroommedia.com and Miami Heralds, the trial is scheduled to begin today.
YNW Melly, whose real name is Jamell Maurice Demons, was born in Gifford, Florida. The Butter Pecan singer made a splash in the music industry by releasing his music on the Sound Cloud. But his freestyle music appealed to the masses, particularly the youth, and his songs became instant hits. His popularity skyrocketed after the release of 772 Love and Virtual (Blue Balenciagas) which went viral.
His most popular song Is Murder on My Mind, and the song holds importance in this context.
He raked up controversy and became a disputed personality after he left the New Era Recording Studio with his two friends Williams and Thomas Jr., who were killed. Melly pleaded innocent and said that he saved himself somehow, but his friends were not that lucky. But the investigators found anomalies in his statements. Besides, a firearm was recovered from the vehicle in which they were traveling.
The autopsy report suggested that someone sitting behind had fired on the two people sitting in the front. Later, it was found that Melly was found sitting behind earlier in the night.
