YNW MELLY Is Accused of Tampering with a Witness in a Double Murder Case

Only days before the start of his retrial, YNW Melly has been charged with witness tampering in his double murder case.

According to an affidavit that XXL was able to get on Wednesday (October 4), Melly (real name Jamell Demons) was subject to the extra charge.

He has also been charged with witness tampering along with his purported co-conspirator in the case, YNW Bortlen (real name Cortlen Malik Henry).

The two are accused of speaking with Melly’s ex-girlfriend Mariah Hamilton and her mother Felicia Holmes over the phone using an inmate called Terrence Mathis in an effort to persuade them not to testify in the case.

The affidavit showed that between March and August 2023, Bortlen and Mathis made 60 distinct phone calls, using varied coded language to conceal their intents.

Melly’s phone rights have been limited for much of 2023, according to Law&Crime Network’s Bryson Paul, who also noted that the rapper is currently under 23/1 lockdown at the Broward County Prison.

Mariah Hamilton said last month that police had threatened to imprison her if she didn’t help them prosecute her ex-boyfriend.

Charges against YNW Bortlen for witness tampering were initially made public on Monday (October 2) during a Miami, Florida, house raid. After that, he was detained in Miami-Dade County.

The date of Bortlen’s court appearance has now been changed to January 12, 2024 because his trial was originally set to start on the day he was taken into custody by the police. Since August 2021, he has been free on bail with a monitor due to his suspected involvement in the 2018 homicides.

Melly’s retrial is set to start on October 9 after the jury was unable to agree on a decision during the original trial in July.

The 24-year-old is charged with shooting and killing his buddies YNW Sakchaser (real name Anthony Williams) and YNW Juvy (actual name Christopher Thomas Jr.) in October 2018 and then fabricating the scene to make it appear as though a drive-by shooting.

Despite three days of deliberation, Judge John Murphy III declared on July 22 that the case had resulted in a mistrial. He remarked of the ambiguous conclusion, “These sorts of judgments, they’re hard ones.

Since Melly’s arrest in February 2019, the first-degree murder charges have taken four and a half years to go through the judicial system.

DUE TO ALLEGED RIGHTS VIOLATIONS, SUGE KNIGHT REQUESTS PRISON RELEASE

Suge Knight has argued that because his civil rights were allegedly violated, he should be granted an early release from jail.

In an interview with AllHipHop, the former head of Death Row Records said that a judge had prevented him from representing himself in his 2018 voluntary manslaughter case.

Suge said he was effectively compelled to accept an inferior plea agreement for the fatal 2015 hit-and-run that wounded actor/director Cle Sloan and murdered Terry Carter because he had three strikes mistakenly recorded against him.

Knight received a final prison term of 28 years.

“So an unfixable error, the only thing you got to do is you got to make a deal and let me go home or show I was right or you let me take my plea back and start all over,” he said. “But it’d be harder to start all over because you did all this with my case.

“This [is] my bed. If they allowed me to go to trial, I would have won my case. I would have beat my case. But they didn’t. Okay, I understand that, right? My crime carries two, six, 11 [years], if I was guilty.

“They gave me — naturally, they going to give me the high term, right? So my past, who I am, definitely is going to make sure I get some time. And I’m fine with that. But you don’t have the right to double me up.”

“You don’t have the right to give me time and a half. You don’t have the right to not let me have a lawyer. So, I wasn’t pushing the envelope as hard at first because I know I got to do some time. But I’ve been gone for nine years, so I did my time already.”

The former record executive is presently imprisoned in San Diego, California at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Center. He just informed TMZ over the phone that he will not be giving a witness statement in the 2Pac murder trial against Duane “Keefe D” Davis.

“Well, surprise, number one,” In response to Keefe D’s recent arrest, Suge commented. “Because I don’t think Keefe D would ever get arrested, nor do I want to see him get arrested.

“Let’s get one thing straight, first and foremost: me and Keefe D played on the same Pop Warner football team. And whatever circumstances — if he had an involvement with anything, if he didn’t have an involvement with anything, I wouldn’t wish somebody going to prison on my worst enemy.”

In addition, Knight asserted that, in contrast to common opinion, Keefe D’s nephew Orlando Anderson was not the shooter.

“There were only two people in the car; ‘Pac’s not gonna tell the story, I ain’t gonna tell the story,” said Suge, who was sat next to 2Pac and also wounded during the fatal 1996 drive-by shooting.

“But I can tell you this: I never had nothing bad to say about Orlando because […] he wasn’t the shooter [..] It wasn’t Anderson, so that’s all I got to say about that part.”

JACKBOY ARRESTED ON CHARGES OF BURGLARY & STALKING

According to reports, Jackboy was detained over the weekend in St. Lucie County, Florida, on suspicion of breaking and entering and cyberstalking.

Jackboy, real name Pierre Delince, was reportedly detained on Saturday (September 16) by the Port St. Lucie Police Department on a number of offenses, including “burglary of an occupied dwelling unarmed” and “cyberstalking.”

According to the arrest documents, the accusations are related to a case of domestic abuse involving a romantic partner. After getting arrested on Saturday morning, Jackboy posted a $5,000 bail to get out on the open road.

Little facts about the domestic dispute, the possible causes of the incident, or the probable repercussions of going to jail are known.

In 2023, the owner of 1804 Records has mostly kept a modest profile in the music industry. He released the gritty video for his track “Problems” to round off August before having a quiet trip in Costa Rica earlier this month.

The Trust of Jackboy On September 11, the Process album was supposed to be released through 1804 and Empire, but the project has been postponed without a set date.

On Majorly Independent, the 26-year-last old’s record, he bragged about his newfound independence after leaving Kodak Black’s Sniper Gang and the big label system.

While the arrest is the most recent setback in Jackboy’s life, the rapper almost died in a near-fatal vehicle accident in September.

Despite being totaled, Jackboy believes that his life was saved by the indestructible shell of his black Chevy SUV.

“Damn, dawg!” he says in one clip as he examines the wreckage. “Wrecked my fucking car, dawg. N-gga almost fucking died. If this bitch wasn’t bulletproof, I woulda muthafucking died out this bitch. Got damn!”

In the caption of the video, he added: “I Got Hella whips [I ain’t] Tripping #ExpensivePain. I love my cars bullet proof Dey Could Take A Good Hit [sunglasses emoji] I’ll Have It Back In 3 Days.”

MEGHANN CUNIFF, A REPORTER, WAS “PROFANELY INSULTED” BY TORY LANEZ DURING HIS LAST COURT APPEARANCE.

According to the court reporter, Tory Lanez insulted Meghann Cuniff in the last seconds of the Megan Thee Stallion shooting trial.

Thursday, September 14, saw Tory (actual name Daystar Peterson) appear in court in Los Angeles for a hearing on his request for bail, which was submitted late last month after his sentencing.

The 31-year-old musician requested permission to move into a “exotic” rental property with his six-year-old kid and new wife Raina Chassagne while his legal team appeals his sentence.

Tory’s plea was dismissed by Judge David Herriford, thus things didn’t work out as planned. Tory’s violent felony conviction, “history of violating court orders” and non-U.S. citizenship, all of which might result in his deportation to Canada and “prevent him from coming back to court even if he wanted to,” were mentioned by the speaker.

That indicates that Tory will soon be sent to a state jail to complete a 10-year sentence (which includes credit for almost a year served).

Lanez allegedly called Meghann Cuniff, who has led coverage of the high-profile trial since it began last year, “a googly-eyed bitch” before leaving the courtroom.

“I didn’t hear it and I’m still working to see if transcript has it, but I’ve confirmed Tory Lanez chose to use his final courtroom moments to profanely insult me, calling me ‘a googly eyed bitch’ as he looked at gallery,” Cuniff tweeted on Thursday. “Conflicting reports on whether he named me. A fitting end.”

A Twitter user’s statement that they’d “like to see this on video,” she responded: “Cross your fingers the court reporter got it in the transcript! Source tells me ‘several people in court heard it, including some of the deputies. I doubt the court reporter picked it up.’ [crossed fingers emoji].”

Tory Lanez has targeted Meghann Cuniff before, so this is not the first time. On social media in July, his crew attacked the Law & Crime reporter, claiming that she was “negative and extremely biased” against the musician.

“With all due respect, please disregard anything Megan Cuniff [sic] reports on Tory Lanez,” the post read. “Her objective, perspective/narrative has always been negative and extremely biased towards him.”

“If there is an update on Tory, it will come from this first. If it doesn’t come from this page, it’s not real. With love – The Umbrella.”

After speaking with a potential replacement for Lanez’s present legal team, the rapper complained in the post that he was “being taken advantage of” by them.

But, Cuniff is not the only lady who has come to be in Tory’s digital sights. Judge Herriford referred to the rapper’s post-shooting behavior, which included tweets and song lyrics directed towards Megan Thee Stallion, as “a major aggravating factor in this case” while imposing the rapper’s sentence last month.

Prior to his punishment, Megan made reference to his actions in a written statement, accusing him of “making a mockery of my trauma.”

“I want you to know that since I was viciously shot by the defendant a little over three years ago, I have not experienced a single day of peace,” she wrote to the judge.

“I have been tormented and terrorized in every degree by the defendant,” she wrote. “He not only shot me, he made a mockery of my trauma. He tried to position himself as a victim and set out to destroy my character and my soul.”

“He lied to anyone that would listen and paid bloggers to disseminate false information about the case on social media. He released music videos and songs to damage my character and continue his crusade.”

Tory Lanez’s attorneys submit a motion to get him released on bail while they contest his 10-year sentence

– Tory Lanez’s legal team is allegedly attempting to appeal the rapper’s 10-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion by submitting a request to have him released on bail.

The rapper Sorry 4 What is presently confined to the Los Angeles County Prison with little privileges after receiving his sentence for the July 2020 shooting earlier this month.

A “bail on appeal” request was submitted on behalf of Tory in Los Angeles on Monday, August 28, according to court reporter Meghann Cuniff, who has been carefully following the case since it started. A hearing has been scheduled for September 5.

“Ask and ye shall receive: Tory Lanez’s lawyers appear to have filed a motion to bail him out of jail as he appeals his judgment and sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion,” Cuniff wrote on Twitter.

She added: “Regarding actual motion, DA’s office says they weren’t aware anything was filed and haven’t received anything yet, but ‘132 has been dark’ which refers to Judge Herriford’s dept # and means he’s been out. But public docket entry is yesterday, hearing is scheduled for Tuesday.”

Judge David Herriford, who ruled over the trial in December 2022 and finally sentenced Lanez to ten years in prison, will preside over the hearing.

The filing follows an online argument between Tory Lanez’s defense lawyer Jose Baez and Meghann Cuniff after the latter questioned his dedication to his client by pointing out that he looked to be vacationing in Italy rather than contesting his sentence.

“2+ weeks since Tory Lanez’s lawyer Jose Baez said he’d file a motion to bail Lanez out of jail as he appeals his convictions and 10-year prison sentence,” Cuniff tweeted last week. “No motion has been filed, and I’m not sure how much of a priority it is for Baez: He’s posting Instagram stories from Italy.”

A progress report on Tory’s appeal processes was also provided by the attorney, who also stated that the rapper was “evaluating ALL of his options” and that he was unable to file a move until a few formalities had been fulfilled.

Cuniff tweeted in response to Baez’s harsh refutation: “Ignoring the unprofessional comments, the takeaway from Jose Baez’s Instagram stories today is he’s no longer sure if he’ll file a motion for bail pending Lanez’s appeal: ‘As for other motions, Tory is evaluating ALL of his options.’”

She also shared a copy of an email interaction with Baez, who praised Cuniff and assured her that he would “always be respectful” of her, on Instagram.

In the “administrative segregation unit” of the Los Angeles County Jail, which is reserved for convicts who cannot be securely housed with other detainees, Tory Lanez is now kept apart from the general population. According to reports, he is only permitted to leave his cell for two hours each day.

The 31-year-old is also only allowed three hours of fresh air each week during his required leisure time, and as is customary in the administrative segregation unit, he is checked on by jail employees every 30 minutes.

FANS OF DRAKE LEFT ANGRY AFTER THE VANCOUVER SHOW WAS POSTPONED A FEW HOURS PRIOR TO SHOWTIME

Due to “unforeseen circumstances,” Drake abruptly postponed the first of two gigs scheduled for Vancouver, infuriating the concertgoers that showed up.

Those waiting in line for the event on Monday were assured by a Rogers Arena employee, “We want to make this as easy for you as possible” (August 28). “Unfortunately, the concert this evening has been postponed … It’s out of our control.”

She continued as the audience’s irate outbursts subsided: “You and your wristbands will be honored on Wednesday [August 30].”

Upon the announcement, one of the fans even said, “This my 13th reason.” The remark made reference to the television program 13 Reasons Why, in which a young girl outlines all the factors that led to her suicide.

The fact that many individuals are selling the postponed event tickets online suggests that they won’t be able to attend the rescheduled date.

Only hours before the gates were scheduled to open, the performance was called off, and not for any particular reason other than problems with “the newly installed scoreboard” at the arena. Fans online haven’t been accepting of Drizzy’s last-minute change as a result.

The OVO boss has continued to discuss NBA-related issues, most notably joining a chorus of NBA players in denouncing Noah Lyles, a track star, for his criticism of the NBA Finals champions being referred to as “World Champions.”

Lyles drew criticism over the weekend when he questioned why only the United States and Canada are represented in the North American sports league, despite the NBA and its players being hailed as world champions.

“You know what hurts me the most is that I have to watch the NBA Finals and they have ‘world champion’ on their head,” the 26-year-old track star said at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest. “World champion of what? The United States? Don’t get me wrong, I love the U.S. at times. But that ain’t the world… There ain’t no flags in the NBA.”

The 6 God attacked Lyles in support of his NBA pals after learning about the shocking remarks. With his formal role as the Toronto Raptors’ ambassador, Drake is also connected to the league.

“He thought this speech was gonna be so hard in the mirror the night before… now the whole league doesn’t rate u,” Drake used a series of laughing emojis to respond to Akademiks’ repost of Lyles’ remarks.

YNW MELLY Suffers Setback When Detective Finds Shooting Was Not Drive-By

A forensic reconstruction has now supported the assertion that YNW Melly staged a drive-by shooting to hide the purported killings of YNW Juvy and YNW Sakchaser.

Sgt. Christopher Williams, a crime scene investigator who was called to testify by the prosecution during the ongoing trial on Wednesday (June 28), concluded that the fatal bullets that killed the YNW members came from inside the car that they were riding in at the time of their deaths, not from the outside.

“The shooting happened from somebody inside the car,” Williams stated as he gave the jurors a replica of the crime scene. He noted that “the angles” of the projectiles entering the bodies of the victims “do not change,” and that it was likely because he had been examining the area for a drive-by that he had missed these characteristics the first time.

Juvy (actual name Christopher Thomas Jr.), according to Sgt. Williams, was facing forward when he was shot in the head at close range from the left in the “middle of his cheek.”

He described the entry wound as having an abrasion ring on it and provided the “tattoo of the stippling” as proof.

The Jeep Cherokee that YNW Bortlen was operating had Melly in the left rear seat, Juvy in the front passenger seat, and Sakchaser (born Anthony Williams) in the right rear seat, according to surveillance footage previously shown to the jury.

The medical examiners who conducted the autopsy and came to the conclusion that both deceased had fatal gunshot wounds to the head, with bullets entering from the left side, were also previously presented before the jury.

Since his murder trial got underway earlier this month, this is the most devastating evidence that has been brought against the troubled musician. Text messages purportedly sent by YNW Melly to his mother months before his two pals were killed were previously displayed to the court by prosecutor Kristine Bradley.

The rapper requested his mother for a gun in August 2018, only two months before the two were slain, according to the messages. “Get me a Glock ASAP,” said one of the texts. “Like go now … I just don’t want no illegal gun.”

Melly has so far achieved a few successes in the lawsuit despite these obstacles. Judge John Murphy of the Broward Circuit Court disclosed this week that a violation of discovery occurred because the prosecution withheld a second forensics report.

As a result, the data will no longer be considered throughout the study. She tweeted, “Judge Murphy ruled @ynwmelly trial that Prosecution committed a discovery violation for failure to disclose a second forensics report,” “That information will now be excluded!”

In 2019, YNW Melly was detained and accused with two charges of premeditated murder. She now faces a sentence of life in prison without the chance of release. He may be sentenced to death if found guilty.

In his fiery new song “F-CK THE INDUSTRY PT. 2,” NBA YOUNGBOY DISSEMINATES DRAKE, J. COLE, & LIL YACHTY

NBA On his angry new song “Fuck The Industry Pt. 2,” YoungBoy has fired shots at Drake, J. Cole, and Lil Yachty.

On Friday (May 12), the rapper from Baton Rouge published his most recent album, Richest Opp, which included a song that flings verbal jabs at a number of well-known artists.

YoungBoy begins by referring to Drake as his “enemy” and labeling him a “bitch,” making reference to the 6 God’s friendship with Lil Durk, and asserting that he refused to collaborate with him despite enjoying his music.

“Talk to Drake ‘cross FaceTime, he wasn’t feelin’ me/ Told me that he fuck with Durk, damn, that shit was gettin’ to me/ Told me that he like the shit I’m doin’, but can’t do shit with me/ So when we cross our ways, fuck what you say, bitch, you my enemy,” he snarls.

In recent years, Drizzy has frequently teamed up with Durk, YoungBoy’s fierce opponent, on songs like 2020’s “Laugh Now Cry Later” and his Certified Lover Boy album track “In the Bible.”

Then, NBA YoungBoy calls J. Cole, who is featured on Durk’s brand-new song, “All My Life,” which was also released on Friday, a “ho” for allegedly ghosting him after they agreed to collaborate.

“J a ho, that n-gga played it cold, like he was gon’ do a feature/ So I texted his line, a muscle sign, I swear it’s gon’ be nice to meet you,” he raps.

J. Cole allegedly waited eight hours in the studio for NBA YoungBoy in March 2021, but the rapper never showed up, according to Akademiks.

“J. Cole waited in the studio for eight hours for YoungBoy to show up,” Ak said. “YoungBoy didn’t show up. Facts. These are facts! Your favorite rapper, n-gga. J. Cole? He sat in the studio for eight hours for a session with YoungBoy. YoungBoy never showed up. Let me be fair to YoungBoy. No disrespect to J. Cole, J. Cole’s just a rapper.”

“YoungBoy be going through shit. He’s living life, he’s going through shit. YoungBoy said, ‘Yo, my energy is not fit to be in the studio with that guy.’ It wasn’t about J. Cole. It was just that he, and personally what he was going through, wasn’t fit to be in that environment.”

NBA YoungBoy finishes the vicious song by criticizing Lil Yachty for his previous connection with JT from City Girls.

“Bitch, play with me, Lil Yachty mad about JT, f-ggot/ Bitch, play with me, half of y’all ain’t got more money than me,”

Yachty replied to YoungBoy’s attack on Twitter immediately after the album’s release, but neither Drake nor J. Cole have yet provided a response. The Atlanta rapper shared a brief video of 50 Cent exclaiming, “I mean, what he say ‘fuck me’ for?!” in shock.

YoungBoy responded with a video of his own, claiming Yachty had “checked” him for shooting JT while they were still together.

Before laughing, he said, “Yachty crazy than a muthafucka. Aye bitch, you got me laughing over here, boy. Bitch, you know why I said that, mane. You called me talking about that crazy ass girl, boy,”

“Mama, that bitch really checked me ’bout that girl. That bitch checked the gangsta, man … If I ain’t mistaken, bruh, you say you X’d me out trying to talk to your bitch. And I was confused ’cause you a ho and you was coming at me like — I ain’t really do that.”

“Bitch, I got a mental problem over here and I got too much money. You n-ggas might as well stay the fuck out my way.”

NBA YoungBoy’s Richest Opp, a collection of 17 new songs with a single feature from NBA Ben10, was published through Never Broke Again/Motown Records. It is his third album to be released this year after I Rest My Case in January and Don’t Try This at Home in April.

JT gets threatened by FINESSE2TYMES after she compares him to an “ugly” baby

After calling JT of City Girls “ugly” on social media, Finesse2Tymes threatened him.

Lil Uzi Vert, JT’s boyfriend, replied to criticism of his new alter persona, Leslie, whose gender-fluid look and demeanor have alienated followers, which sparked the argument.

Uzi, in the voice of Leslie Chow from The Hangover, remarked in an Instagram Story, “Chow understand people don’t like way of chow.” “But chow don’t give af chow rich and never look back…… suck my monkey tail LESLIE OUT.” Leslie said.

The Shade Room’s article then received a remark from a supporter accusing JT of “taking City Girls down” by dating the androgynous rapper.

JT responded on Thursday (April 20), reportedly after looking at the woman’s Instagram, writing: “ugly baby and dead father.”

The singer of “Act Up” responded to criticism from another Instagram user who said she went too far by making fun of the woman’s child and deceased parent by doubling down and equating the youngster with Finesse2Tymes.

“That baby looks like finesse 2 x’s,” she wrote. “Please leave me alone. I’m not bothering no one.”

She defended her conduct by writing: “I don’t have to be nice to ppl who’s not nice to me!” in another reply.

“Aye, JT, what you talking about ugly?” he said in a video. “Oooh, word? What you talking about ugly? Oooh, how you say it? City Girls just went down.”

He then expressed his threat to the Miami resident in a different Post, writing: “Guess she mad cause I said I can’t do nun wit no skinny ho. Just don’t know, I’ll throw u in the air and ‘BREAK U’ before u hit the ground.”

“So you gone constantly bully me for what you wanna hear nah ima talk about you bad without clearing up nothin.”

She added: “I’m the most unproblematic person ever. Idgaf bout nothing, but if I find time to throw a shot back I will. Nothing personal, all love.”
