According to XXL, rapper YNW Melly has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder charges.
The rapper, who was fresh off a Kanye feature, has been charged with the murder of two of his friends, YNW Sakchaser and YNW Juvy. The rapper has claimed to be innocent throughout the case, even publicly mourning their deaths back in October. Melly has gained nationally attention for his song “Murder On My Mind.” Since the murders, it has climbed all the way to number four on the Spotify top 50 songs list.
The detective’s working the case believe that the rapper’s claims of a drive-by shooting are false, and that he is the one who carried out the murders.
The case is ongoing and will continue to play out over the course of the next few months.
