Yella Beezy in Court
What’s new:
Rapper Yella Beezy, whose real name is Markies Conway, appeared in court for a bond reduction hearing.
His bond amount was set at $2 million after he was arrested last week for the death of rapper Mo3, or Melvin Noble.
Prosecutors showed a video of the alleged hitman shooting at and chasing down Noble in the middle of I-35 before getting back into his car and driving away. The legal team argued that Conway is a danger and has the means to flee if he wants to.
The judge also listened to testimony from rapper’s relatives who said he could not afford to pay a $2 million bond.
The judge ultimately decided to reduce the amount to $750,000 with bond conditions. She also reprimand him for seemingly not taking the case seriously.
