Rapper YNW Melly was mentioned in Kendrick Lamar’s Drae diss track, “Euphoria.”
“Yeah, Cole and Aubrey know I’m selfish, the crown is heavy/ I pray they my real friends but if not, I’m YNW Melly,” K. Dot raps.
YNW Melly is accused of two counts of first-degree murder in the killings Christopher “YNW Juvy” Thomas and Anthony “YNW Sakchaser” Williams in Miramar in 2018, and then conspiring to make it look like a drive-by shooting. YNW Bortlen is also facing trial.
“Kendrick Lamar is one of my favorite rappers so I feel honored and appalled … I’m a household name — just for the wrong sh-t!!!” Melly said to TMZ after “Euphoria” was released yesterday.
In October, Florida prosecutors charged the rapper with witness tampering by trying to prevent a key witness from testifying at his first murder trial. Prosecutors allege that Melly, allegedly a member of the Bloods street gang, did it through phone calls made by other jail inmates at his request and letters passed between them to get messages to Blood members on the streets.
He denies all charges against him.
