YW Melly has been in jail for the last 1438 days for four years the world has been wondering if the rapper is in fact guilty of premeditated murder with the victims being his two best friends that he has known since elementary school as of right now the death penalty is a potential fate for him but just before he got arrested he released his collaboration with Kanye West that skyrocketed his Fame he had multiple songs generating millions of views and streams and was on his way to being the next SoundCloud Superstar when the news broke that he was being investigated people started to scrutinize him his lyrics were shockingly descriptive his interviews may have had clues that could tie him to this crime his life in jail for the past four years has been rough where he's being subject to inhumane treatment and borderline torture from the jail guards as of today ynw Melly is not guilty but since we have not heard his defense yet it's hard to imagine his innocence Jamel demons yes that's his real name was born to Mother Jaime Demon's King when she was just 14 years old the teenager and her mother raised the boy at the Orangewood Park Apartments in Gifford Florida in kindergarten Jamel met his first friend Christopher Thomas who we now know as wine W juvie so now when I walk into kindergarten room I see him then he just started smiling and dancing so it just made me happy now I want to be here since his mother was so young they moved around to various projects up and down Eastern Florida he still doesn't know who his father is Jaime says her son was a great kid quiet Smiley love to sing and dance but Mellie admits he had a dark side to him one that he discovered when he was just nine years old he had a little couch with a whole bunch of toys and [ __ ] under and I seen a toy gun I was just playing with that [ __ ] then Mellie discovers his uncle's real gun when I rolled I hit my head under the couch when I hit my head under the couch I stayed up for a little bit I seen some [ __ ] Shining it was a 22 revolver real gun I'm a kid though so I just walk out the high and I shot that [ __ ] and I couldn't hear I myself like a week and then I was like damn it's a real gun you know what I'm saying if you [ __ ] that [ __ ] at a [ __ ] and bust his ass that's his soul and it like it's death in this [ __ ] you know what I'm saying all I gotta do is up this [ __ ] your ass you disappear [ __ ] real [ __ ] bro I like how them [ __ ] look for real I'm in love with them [ __ ] before melee was 10 years old he was infatuated with the power of having a weapon in seventh grade he brought a very large knife to school and threatened to unalive himself and another girl it's pretty clear this young man was very deeply Disturbed at a young age shifting his focused towards music was productive for him in eighth grade he recorded his first song [ __ ] in 2015 ynw was formed Jamelle went by Mellie Christopher went by juvie Anthony Williams won by sack Chaser the rap crew started releasing music consistently on Soundcloud in mid-2015 and quickly gained support from their classmates but at the start of 10th grade Melly caught his first case for firing a weapon at three upperclassmen in a school zone demons was charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and one count of discharging a firearm in public this got him expelled from school and locked up for one year at age 16. it was during this time that Mellie decided to take his music career very seriously so he got to work clearly Melly had a gift he has a very unique raspy yet deep Cadence and naturally knows how to control his pitch he spent his days behind bars writing love songs and murder ballads you know I love you riding through when he got released around October of 2016 he released his track 772 love which gained a lot of local support and some online Buzz he then previewed another track that he wrote behind bars that would end up changing his life Melly knew this track murder on my mind was going to be a big one he eventually recorded the song on a whole new beat with a faster Tempo and released it in March of 2017. this is where Melly started taking his social media presence very seriously focusing on Twitter Instagram and YouTube since he was on Parole from his previous bid the judge actually used this song as a violation of his parole because of its detailed lyrics of melee fantasizing about murdering people and thus he got locked up again now using song lyrics to incriminate someone is illegal in some states and a lot of people like to make the argument that it's just art which is definitely true but melee even outside of his music has made multiple questionable statements that are too dark to ignore it was during this second confinement where he really started to generate a following it's unclear how much time he spent locked up but he was now 17 years old and around October of 2017 his team was promoting a hashtag free y w Melly campaign his family and friends even produced and filmed an entire music video for his song 772 love which now has over 40 million views on YouTube upon his release in March of 2018 he was starting to explode he immediately dropped a music for Mellie the Menace and did a number of live performances in Florida [Music] his Fame was leveling up he released blue balenciagas which would go on to do 70 million views released a track called butter pecan and he was traveling around the country and enjoying his freedom all the while murder on my mind was generating millions of views and rap fans around the world were catching on to the Y W Melly wave in fact a lot of artists like young thug Lil Durk T Grizzly and Uzi were big fans of melee before most other normal fans caught on he was a lot of artists favorite artist right after his 18th birthday he got arrested again for possession of marijuana possession of weapon or Ammunition by a convicted felon and drug paraphernalia Cortland Henry AKA y w bortland melly's longtime friend was also arrested for possession of a weapon or Ammunition by a convicted felon they both posted bonds and were released the following day with Murder on My Mind exploding it was time for him to record a music video and it's too graphic for me to even show but he he visually depicts the aftermath of a crime scene where he shot a friend and the friend slowly dies in his arms these lyrics have been psychoanalyzed and even though he wrote this song many years ago the song may have shockingly foreshadowed real events I didn't even mean to shoot him he just caught me by surprise I reloaded my pistol cocked it back and shot him twice his body dropped down to the floor and he got teardrops in his eyes he grabbed me by my hands and said he was afraid to die I told him it's too late my friend it's time to say goodbye and he died inside my arms in his first interview with no jumper his whole demeanor was strange but he revealed something very interesting so what you got tattooed on your face tell me about a little bit what on my face yeah we got the heart on this side all right what's that say above your eyebrow on that side we said Oh either one was it you know you know I got sat Chase right here that my brother and my twin okay Julie just a lot of your friends who passed yeah no they're my [ __ ] right now oh okay my bad I wouldn't get none of my friends tattooing my face until they died yeah I'm not a good friend like you are apparently [ __ ] for me so Mellie has his two best friends name tattooed on his face these types of tattoos are usually to commemorate lost ones but in this case they are alive and well for now as Mellie was finishing up his album we all shine one of Kanye West's writers cyhi the prince showed him meli's music yay flew him out to LA to work on music and when he got there they had a pretty funny first meeting I was eating a pickle in his refrigerator when I turned around all I heard was who bigger than me yeah I like oh [ __ ] I can't hear you what the [ __ ] then he's like hell yeah how long the pickles been in there like I don't know then he came and he was like nah I'm not gonna touch though so Mellie his manager 100K track and Kanye are in the studio for two hours listening to music until he asks Mellie to play some of his songs and this is what happened then we play mixed personalities and he goes crazy he's like bruh this is me this is yay this is Kanye he's like I'm like damn so me and men looking to set it like damn he like bruh I want to jump on this this is me this right he said I want to jump on this but then I thought told him no he was like damn wow I was like because we about to drop it we're in the process he's like bro whatever I gotta do I get it done like to be on the record like because this is really me like I'm feeling a connection to it Kanye resonated with the mixed personalities track most likely because of his struggles with bipolar disorder which Mellie also admits he has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder they came together filmed a music video with Cole Bennett and it would ultimately get released this is only the second SoundCloud artist that yay collaborated with before danda the other one was Lil pump so Mellie just secured a ticket to super stardom with that feature but just when things were looking great a very very dark day was around the corner on October 26 2018 y w bortland whose real name is Cortland Henry shows up to Memorial Miramar hospital with two dead bodies in his car the victims were both on the right side front and back seat they were the bodies of Anthony Williams AKA y w sack Chaser and Christopher Thomas AKA y w juvie melly's two childhood friends the vehicle had eight shots on the right side and one through the back window the police asked what happened and Portland said they were victims of a drive-by shooting he said he left the new era recording studio in Fort Lauderdale drove West on 595 then south on 75 and exited on Miramar Parkway heading west he said on Southwest 160th a vehicle passed by on his right side and started shooting he ducked down to avoid being shot and when he sat up he saw his friends bleeding out so he drove to the hospital which was conveniently right around the corner after this report the detectives and officers shut down the crime scene and walked 12 blocks on foot not a single report of gunshots nor evidence of a shooting was found Portland was tested for gunshot residue on his hands but came back negative the roommate dontavious Withers of sack Chaser and juvie was questioned by the police since he lived at their last known address he said there were two cars when they left the studio a gray Jeep which is where the murder took place in and a red Mitsubishi which wither said that he and Mellie were in he said he went straight home and found out later that his roommates were dead and didn't know where Melly was but it was later proven that Withers lied about the situation before police showed up he was with Melly at Fredo bangs house Withers changed his story and said that Mellie was in the Jeep when they left the studio but then got into the Mitsubishi around Sheridan Ave when Withers snapchatted him to pick him up police obtained security footage from the manager of the recording studio which proved Mellie left in the gray Jeep he got into the back left seat remember victims were in the front right and back right seats cell phone records show that Withers went straight home without stopping so Melly never entered the Mitsubishi when police investigated the Jeep they found one 40 caliber shell casing on the floorboards where Melly was sitting it was inside a white plastic bag if this was a drive-by there would not be shell casings inside of the car this supports evidence that shots occurred from inside of the car police were able to obtain T-Mobile cell phone records that track their locations minute by minute these records show that Meli Portland sac and juvie were all in the car together at the time of the murder they did confirm that the Jeep exited on Miramar Parkway but turned North on Southwest 184th and then West on Pines Boulevard at 353 and then turned back east at 406. this is enough time to make it all the way to the outskirts of the city where nothing is around and back the cell phone records also show that they were driving around the area west of I-75 before arriving to the hospital at 4 35. melly's cell phone was separated from the car at 4 32 just three minutes before the Jeep arrived to the hospital this is where people are assuming that Mellie and Portland were trying to get their story straight driving around the city and then ultimately Mellie hopped out before Portland took them to the hospital Mellie then facetimed his girlfriend saying that they were a victim of a drive-by and he needed to be picked up which confirms that he was at the scene of the crime so police knew that there were a lot of conflicting statements from Witnesses and even some straight up lies they needed to conduct this investigation immediately the next day when the news broke ynw Melly took to Instagram and Facebook to grieve publicly claiming that they took my brothers from me over jealousy Melly proceeded with his career as usual he released a documentary on his YouTube channel on December 4th which featured sack Chaser and juvie and a little bit about how close they were growing up it also featured a section about how obsessed with guns Mellie was at the end of the documentary it stated that four days after the completion of this film y w Melly and his friends were a target of a drive-by shooting then the genius video dropped of Melly explaining the lyrics to his hit song Murder on My Mind where he describes his love for guns and says he isn't a human murderer I murdered him and I murdered a beat I am not no human murder but on January 3rd 2019 he was arrested in Florida on weed charges his Sinister smiling mug shot went viral just three weeks later while he was still locked up mixed personalities dropped with a lyrical lemonade video this was a huge moment for Mellie and Cole Bennett as Kanye was the first veteran Superstar rapper he had worked with at that point the song Went Mega viral and melly's fame exploded this was the first time a lot of people have heard of him he was about to become a mainstream artist but on February 13th just less than a month later the investigation concluded and a warrant for his arrest for the murder of his two friends was Now official he immediately turned himself in despite claiming his innocence two weeks later the evidence against Melly was released police discovered that y w bortland lied about where the crime actually took place the police used a canine to investigate the crime scene on Southwest 160th Street which is where he reported the drive-by happened but the dog found nothing officers then investigated a more rural area that they thought maybe was the crime scene and the canine found some evidence the dog discovered eight 40 caliber shell casings and two types of glass that match the front passenger and rear passenger window of the Jeep so now they know the crime scene is not even close to where it was reported this prompted them to investigate the vehicle again and they decided to do a trajectory analysis using rods and strings to determine flight Paths of projectiles and they confirmed that there is no way this could have been a drive-by shooting based on the bullet paths and the wounds suffered by the victims the police suspect that they parked the vehicle and staged a drive-by shooting before showing up to the hospital when autopsy reports came back regarding the victim's wounds the evidence shows the initial lethal shot occurred from inside the vehicle and was initiated from the left rear passenger side the same position occupied by demons which is melee an intermediate wound by definition would indicate a distance of 3 inches to three feet between in the victim and the weapon however due to a three centimeter stippling pattern the weapon was in a close proximity to Thomas's head this would be a straight up execution style shot the gunshot wounds to the back of Thomas also indicates these wounds were inflicted after he was shot in the head as the projectiles entered Thomas's back when he was leaning to the left evidence from the autopsy revealed that both victims wound paths to their heads were from a left to right direction this direction contradicts the statements made by Henry and does not support the statements of a drive-by shooting that occurred on the right side of the vehicle basically they think Mellie shot both of his friends Point Blank then they drove around trying to come up with a story then staged a drive-by to make it look more convincing and obviously the police have garnered a lot of evidence to support that because of mellie's music about guns murder and admitting to having another personality Melvin who was Reckless unpredictable and willing to kill he hasn't exactly made himself seem like the most innocent man in the world most of his fans claim that this is just just art it's too common for rappers to make songs that glorify violence gang activity and all kinds of heinous crimes this is all just for entertainment and Melly is actually a good person and when it comes to the music it's hard to accuse someone of crimes based on that but I think we can all agree some of his interviews and candid remarks about his alter ego Melvin make him look very suspicious plus surely someone wouldn't kill their best friends right well there is absolutely nothing that indicates Mellie had any beef or bad blood with juvie who he has known since kindergarten however with sack Chaser there is some suspicion a video surfaced on the internet of mellie's mother saying this don't ever try to come for me because I don't even play them type of games like what what the [ __ ] you got that I ain't got oh you threatened me with your little gun [ __ ] I got big guns so she said sack Chaser threatened her with a gun and also said that she has bigger guns she was also in one of melly's videos holding a draco so we can indicate from these that she might be into a more dangerous lifestyle than most mothers or maybe she was just being emotional on camera either way she may have just gave the judge a reason to believe that there was a beef between mellie's Mom and Sack Chaser and that Mellie would most likely defend his mother other than that there isn't any strong intent for him to kill his friends which is very important because they're trying to accuse him of premeditated murder there are tons of rumors with very little or no evidence at all rumors that Zack Chaser was supposed to get two hundred thousand dollars when melee signed and he didn't want to pay him rumors that sack Chaser got into a fight with melee one time and knocked him out even rumors that Mellie and Sack Chaser were in an intimate relationship and there was jealousy there's an alleged video of Melly admitting to the murder but it was just him singing Kevin Gates lyrics There's a message he sent to a random Instagram account the night of the murder that said says I did that but with no context provided but again all rumors and very low evidence it seems like the prosecutors have an extremely weak case there is no confirmed murder weapon and there is no intent so to charge someone for first degree premeditated murder and seeking the death penalty they need a very strong case also keep in mind we have no idea what melly's defense is going to be four years later and we still have only heard one side of the story and since Mellie has been locked up his life has been rough he pled not guilty in March of 2019 the next month they announced that they were seeking the death penalty he announced in June that he would be home soon and was seen in court smiling Meli vs Melvin was his third studio album released while he was locked up which eventually goes gold and it spent 31 weeks on the billboard 200 albums chart then in March of 2020 he's seen smiling in court again in April he tested positive for covet 19. he'll be filing a motion for a restricted release in hopes of better care due to any jails not being prepared to treat this new virus he hopes for your support and to recover soon pray for Mellie send positive energy to him please despite his health he was allegedly involved in several fights with inmates guards alongside inmates Etc causing him to lose his Privileges and send him to solitary confinement for 70 days then y w bortland was granted house arrest which is extremely uncommon for someone to get released facing the severity of these charges his team released another project in 2021 just a matter of slime which had an insane list of features trying to hold on to the audience that is still there to support him his physical condition got worse when it was reported that he had an abscess in his lower jaw which is a bad chronic infection because of his Diamond implants he was denied dentist visits a regular toothbrush or floss because they can be used as weapons people suspected that the jail are trying to torture and break him down while he awaits this trial in March of 2022 he filed for a speedy trial and was granted it we thought we were going to get the answers then back a month than another and ultimately postponed indefinitely in May of 2022 after his own defense decided to rescind their speedy trial notion there was another report that an inmate snitched on him and said he had Shanks and pipe bombs in his cell and he was trying to escape but when they investigated there was nothing however they did find weapons in someone else's cell close to him so they were trying to pin it on melee at the end of 2022 he had made multiple long posts on his Instagram begging for help citing specific officers that are abusing their powers mistreating him revoking his phone access only letting him out of his cell for one hour a day watching his every move threatening to beat him up and making sure his family never hears from him cutting off all his communication with others and straight up torturing him these Instagram posts let us know the type of inhumane treatment that ynw Melly is facing right now now reminder he has not been found guilty of anything so this treatment is definitely excessive going into 2023 we still do not have a trial date four years Mellie has been behind bars waiting to know his fate the prosecutors have 600 pages of DNA ballistic evidence Witnesses lying melly's own suspicious statements on social media but they don't have a murder weapon they don't have intent and apparently they don't have anyone willing to testify against him if Millie did this it would be considered one of the most heinous crimes in rap history but we don't know what his defense will be so as of right now he is innocent
