There’s been some rather shocking revelations in Hip-Hop (and it’s only February), but this one is definitely the worst of them all. It’s being reported that Florida rising star YNW Melly was arrested and charged with the murder of his crew members Anthony “YNW Sakchaser” Williams, 21, and Christopher “YNW Juvy” Thomas Jr., 19.
Miramar Police are saying that the 19-year-old Melly — real name: Jamell Demons — killed the two while another member — Cortlen “YNW Bortlen” Henry — helped stage the crime to make it look like a drive-by shooting. Melly’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, did speak on his client and the charges: “He’s sad, he’s upset, obviously… Those were his best friends.”
