As a result of a tooth infection brought on by his diamond teeth, YNW Melly has asked for a medical leave of absence.
The Florida rapper, who wears diamond dental crowns, has an abscess in his lower jaw, according to court records acquired by Complex.
The crowns “require constant upkeep and at the bare minimum regular flossing and brushing.” according to Raven Liberty, Melly’s attorney. The rapper isn’t allowed to use dental floss, a conventional toothbrush, or go to the dentist often while he’s behind bars.
The “Loving My Life” rapper visited the medical center at the Broward County Jail, but it appears that the staff lacks the necessary equipment to clean or cure Melly’s condition. Because of this, Liberty said, “As a result, he has an abscess in his lower jaw that is creating extreme pain and chronic infection”
The rapper needs dental care to prevent the condition from worsening, and YNW Melly’s attorney has already located a dentist who will provide it. According to reports, the rapper has private insurance and the resources to pay for whatever costs the furlough may incur.
The judge has not yet made up her mind about whether to approve the rapper’s request.
Since his arrest in February 2019 on suspicion of two counts of murder in connection with the deaths of his companions YNW Sakchaser and YNW Juvy in October 2018, YNW Melly has been imprisoned.

Pooh Shiesty has been charged with federal crimes in relation with a shooting in Florida in 2020– not to be confused with the Memorial Day weekend shooting in a Miami strip joint.
In October 2020, the “Back in Blood” artist and two buddies — Bobby Brown and Jayden Darosa — met up with two other people in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida, to buy marijuana and high-end shoes. The situation deteriorated, and the two individuals were shot in the hip and butt.
On June 25, federal charges of Conspiracy to Possess Firearms in Furtherance of Violent Crime, Hobbs Act Robbery Conspiracy, and Discharging a Firearm in Furtherance of a Crime of Violence were filed against the rapper, according to the Miami Herald.
Using Pooh’s Instagram posts, investigators were able to link him to the crime. A Louis Vuitton bag was recovered at the site that had fallen out of the McLaren Pooh was driving at the time of the heist and included $100 notes with the same serial number as the cash the rapper flaunted on Instagram. Investigators also discovered the identical gun used in the crime on Darosa’s Instagram page.
For Conspiracy to Possess Firearms in Furtherance of Violent Crime, Hobbs Act Robbery Conspiracy, and Discharging a Firearm in Furtherance of a Crime of Violence, Pooh faces a maximum of 20 years in prison.
Mally Mall, a hip-hop producer and rapper whose actual name is Jamal Rashid, was sentenced to two years and nine months in jail in Las Vegas on Thursday. That’s a
total of 33 months, which was the maximum sentence he could obtain as part of a plea bargain.
He already stated that his escort services in Clark County between 2002 and 2014 were basically prostitution fronts. Rashid consented to a plea agreement in federal court that included a sentence of one to 33 months in jail.
Rashid was a monster in the past, according to Federal Judge Gloria Navarro, and his victims were imprisoned. She admits she wasn’t sure she’d accept the bargain because of his crimes, which she describes as “horrific,” but she adds that he now looks to be a law-abiding person. Rashid paid for prostitutes’ flights and advertised sex for sale on websites such as Backpage.
Rashid’s lawyer told the court that he was admitted to the hospital in July with COVID-19 and had lung difficulties. Due to his health, his sentence hearing was postponed multiple times.
Rashid’s ascent to stardom began with a shout-out on Drake’s “The Motto,” according to the website allmusic.com. He then put together a team that produced Drake, Chris Brown, Usher, Snoop Dogg, and Lupe Fiasco, among others.
Rashid is connected to a number of celebrities, including Justin Bieber. According to a fan site, he gifted Bieber a pet monkey. Bieber called the capuchin monkey Mally, and it made headlines again after customs officials in Germany took it away from him.
Rashid plays Nikki Mudarris’ longterm lover in six episodes of season one of “Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood.” Mudarris released a sex tape of himself in 2015.
The FBI searched his Las Vegas property after receiving claims of exotic animal and human trafficking.
The US Attorney’s Office advocated for the entire 33-month term in a sentencing memorandum.
In court on Thursday, Rashid expressed regret.
The I-Team asked him whether he had anything to say to the victims after the sentencing. His lawyer, David Chesnoff, responded:
“We have no comment. We did all our talking in court. Mr. Rashid expressed his remorsefulness, accepted responsibility, and he’s ready to do what the judge said and go back to make people happy with his music.”
Rashid has been given till August to surrender. He will serve at least three years of probation in addition to his jail sentence.
Angela Williams, a victim of Rashid, informed the I-Team in 2019 that she was one of his victims. She now claims to be delighted with Thursday’s result.
During the interview two years ago, Williams added, “I have faith that his expiration date is coming up,”
Prosecutors claim that his illicit activity netted him millions of dollars, but the judge noted that he is living above his means and is financially insolvent.
For the past few years, the I-Team has been following this tale. George Knapp was the first to report on the connection between this and an investigation into alleged corruption in Metro’s Vice Unit. There were no charges brought against the police, and Sheriff Joe Lombardo claims the unit has been cleaned up.
