Rapper, YNW Melly, Says He Is Suffering From COVID-19 And Is Seeking Prison Release
YNW Melly revealed last week that he had tested positive for coronavirus while in jail, and now he’s asking for an early release.
The 20-year-old rapper’s lawyer, Bradford Cohen, filed legal documents claiming that his client was on the verge of dying according to TMZ on Monday.
The report states Melly’s symptoms include severe chills, heavy labored breathing, headaches, and body aches and that his client weighs 114 pounds and has not been monitored by medical personnel as they have been mandated to.
Melly is currently awaiting a double murder trial.
TMZ Reports:
Cohen says Melly weighs 114 pounds and has NOT been monitored by medical personnel every hour like they’re supposed to.
And, there’s this … Cohen claims Melly’s been holed up in a cell with another inmate who also has COVID-19 … and there’s fear “if the virus can be mutated or passed reoccurring between individuals.”

Melly’s asking the judge if he can get out of prison and be placed on house arrest and treated at a medical facility at his own expense. Melly, of course, has been sitting in a Florida jail for more than a year after being arrested and charged in the double murder of two of his friends.
Let us pray that YNW Melly will make a full recovery from COVID-19. How do y’all feel about this situation?
