YNW Melly Tests Positive For COVID-19
YNW Melly has tested positive for COVID-19 while awaiting his trial in Broward County Jail. He’ll be filing a motion for restricted release in hopes of better care due to any jails not being prepared to treat this new virus.
A statement was made via Melly’s Instagram account.
The 20-year-old Florida native is being charged with first-degree murder for the alleged murder of his two friends Anthony “YNW Sakchaser” Williams and Christopher “YNW Juvy” Thomas Jr., which took place in October 2018. According to police, the “Murder On My Mind” rapper carried out the hit on his friends, then his co-accused Cortlen “YNW Bortlen” Henry aided in making it look like a drive-by shooting. The rapper currently faces the death penalty if convicted of his charges.
