YNW Melly Denied Prison Release Despite Contracting Coronavirus
YNW Melly Ordered To Remain In Prison Despite Testing Positive For COVID-19
YNW Melly tested positive for Coronavirus after been stuck behind bars amid the COVID-19 quarantine. About a week ago, the incarcerated rapper cried out that he’s dying in prison.
“Melly has tested positive for COVID-19 while awaiting his trial in Broward County Jail,” an Instagram caption of the rapper with his family reads.
“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. He hopes for your support and to recover soon #prayformelly send positive energy to him please,” the post reads.
It was later confirmed that Melly’s condition has further deteriorated to the point where it sounds especially dire. Citing legal documents from Melly’s attorney Bradford Cohen, it’s said that the young rapper has been experiencing “severe chills, heavy labored breathing, headaches, and body aches,” all while weighing a mere 114 pounds.
New reports from TMZ says that a judge has finally ruled on his request to be released from prison as he awaits trial for his double murder case. The judge ultimately denied his motion and ordered the rapper to stay inside Broward County Jail.
The judge added that if Melly does want to get medical treatment in jail, he can speak to the Broward Sheriff’s Office for arrangements.
