Why hasn't the OT discussed YNW Melly's legal issues? His story is better than fiction!

YNW Melly's rise to fame happened just as quickly as his alleged criminal past came back to haunt him. Despite collaborating with the likes of Kanye West and Lil B and having his hit song, "Murder on My Mind," climbing the charts, Melly's journey to stardom is currently in jeopardy after being arrested on Feb. 13 for the murders of his friends, YNW Sakchaser and YNW Juvy. XXL highlights YNW Melly's rise and current criminal case in a new video essay detailing his rap career, past run-ins with the law and double murder charge.

Legal problems are nothing new for Melly. While trying to get his music career off the ground in 2015, the young rhymer got caught firing gunshots into a crowd near his high school in Vero Beach, Fla. He was charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and one count of discharging a firearm in public. The aspiring rapper then spent a year in jail, where he wrote his most popular song to date, “Murder on My Mind.”

It's been two years since the Gifford, Fla. native dropped "Murder on My Mind" on SoundCloud in 2017. The track, produced by SMKEXCLSV, tells the fictional story about Melly accidentally killing a friend.

Since Melly's February arrest for the October 2018 killings of Sakchaser and Juvy, the song has been mistaken as some sort of confession for Melly's alleged crimes and has garnered 63 million plays on SoundCloud while peaking at No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

I’m glad I’m too old to understand or give a shite about the current generation of SoundCloud and YouTube musicians.

So he is a felon and is posting pics on social media holding firearms? Well that is known as Felon in Possession and will catch him 10 years regardless of the outcome of the murder charges. Dumbass.
