YNW Melly might be in some more trouble than he initially thought. The state of Florida is pursuing the death penalty on the 19 year old rapper for the murder of two of his friends.
Melly is accused of conducting a shooting, killing both his friends, and then staging the crime scene as a drive by shooting, in an attempt to exonerate himself. Melly’s friends, were fellow rappers who were only just 21 and 19 years old, respectively.
TMZ reports, that the state has proof that the Florida rapper killed his friends for financial benefits, and that the murder was especially heinous because it appears to be a calculated, cold murder. The state also believes that Melly is affiliated with a gang.
Melly saw his star rise earlier this year, when he was able to get a Kanye West feature. His song, “Murder On My Mind,” skyrocketed up the charts as a result of his crime. Currently, the song is just shy of 200,000,000 streams on Spotify.
The case will continue in the coming weeks, and there is no further news at this time. We will update accordingly as more news comes in.
