Double homicide suspect YNW Melly (real name Jamell Demons) is allegedly suffering from the coronavirus while behind bars at Broward County Jail in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
But despite his condition, a judge denied his request to seek medical treatment at home earlier this week. Now, TMZ reports his health is quickly deteriorating and he’s only being treated with Tylenol and Gatorade.
Sources close to the situation say Melly is experiencing labored breathing, body aches, headaches, high temperature and chills, especially at night. Although Melly has been isolated from his cellmate, who also tested positive for COVID-19, the jail staff is being accused of not checking on Melly hourly as they’ve been instructed.
Melly reportedly tested positive for the virus earlier this month. According to an Instagram post from his official account, he was concerned about getting proper treatment while locked up.
“Melly has tested positive for COVID-19 today while awaiting his trial in Broward County Jail,” the caption read. “He’ll be filing a motion for restricted release in hopes of better care due to any jails not being prepared to treat this new virus. He hopes for your support and to recover soon #prayformelly send positive energy to him please.”
Not long after, Melly’s legal team filed paperwork requesting his release from Broward County Jail and attorney Bradford Cohen began to aggressively pursue Melly’s release.
“Just an update we are waiting to hear from the judge regarding the release of Mr Demons to receive medical care and treatment,” he wrote on Instagram. “Supplemental motion was filed today detailing the jail having Mr. Demons share a cell with another COVID19 positive inmate. This is not recommended by any medical physician.”
Unlike Tekashi 6ix9ine, COVID-19 Won't Spring YNW Melly Out Of Prison
Unlike Tekashi 6ix9ine, the presiding judge didn’t sympathize with Melly’s plight and ordered him to remain behind bars.
Melly stands accused of killing Anthony “YNW Sakchaser” Williams and Christopher “YNW Juvy” Thomas Jr. in 2018. He’s been in jail since last year awaiting trial.
Karma a bitch. Still cant believe yall covering a kid who shot two of his friends to boost his fame. Poster child for a retarded YouTube generation
As opposed to the people not in jail who get NOTHING to treat it, just quarantine. There’s nothing to treat it with, that’s why we’re in the middle of a fuckin pandemic you moron…just do your time like a man
Lol as if this last guys name is demons… weird. Also Mr. Demons would be a way better rap than ynwmelly, just saying.
Good. Doesn’t deserve any damn treatment or assistance. Sub human scum.
SO?? Why this site keep trying push for good things to happen for murderers. Why yall love murderers so much? Is it just that yall think its cool to kill people? Or are all the dead black teens a cool thing to hear about too? Yall love dead black people?
Hearing about dead black kids is the only reason I get on this site.
That’s Hip Hop, far as Hip Hop and especially clowns like Royce da 5’9, Jamar, Jay Electronica, Talib Kweli and all the other racist bigots think a Black murdering rapist is better than a White compassionate charity worker who works double shifts and then spends down time feeding the homeless.
It’s a childish culture full of hypocritical bigots who don’t understand the first thing about its essence.
Fuck Hip Hop and fuck supporting racist fuck boys like the ones I just named.
I wonder what treatment his buddies that he murdered are getting. Wait…
this has to be one of the ugliest people ive seen inside and outside. let him rot in that jail!!
Man, fuck that nigga
some would say he deserves the treatment he’s receiving. All I’ll say is God has a interesting way getting us all straight eventually.
Agreed. Hopefully he’ll do something about your god awful music and you shamelessly promoting that garbage on here soon.
Why is it shameless? FOH!!!!!!!!
The judge seen the evidence. Not getting out buddy. Sit tight and sip on that Gatorade no other inmates get.
YNW? You Need Water?
YNW?
Yellow Necco Wafer?
YNW?
Youth Never Win
Watch the zio-media blow this up “OMG WHITE SUPREMACIST PRISON IS KILLING INNOCENT MINORITY” and soon Donald Trump the cuckold zio puppet will pardon all the blacks, meanwhile CNN will call him racist
We won’t see the zio-media report on any white person who is in prison and sick with Covid-19. Only non-white lives matter when it comes to the jooish financial elite who dictate US domestic and foreign policy 100%.
Thats typically what they give covid patients, what is the story? If they were giving people hydroxychloroquin, then there wouuld be a major problem. Id tell you stupid amerikkants about that drug that ur president is allowing to be used in the country which hasnt yeilded ANY positive results but niggaz to dumb to listen. Yall are too dumb to realize ur caught up in a GENOCIDE. Look up the “8 stages of genocide” and educate urselves! The average age of Africa is 19.7years, WTF are we doing to ourselves black people, we are so use to attacking ourselves we dont even know/care about the fact we are just wiping ourselves off the map. Fuck this guy, he’s a murderer, what about releasing actual innocent people that get caught up in the system who Haven’t committed a crime, they’re just in there because they cant afford or obtain bail.
Psssshhh…I’d give him baby asprin and Powerade
That’s cruel, boss.
That’s all u deserve u punk
YNW – You’re not winning
Sorry fellow black community, you arent tricking me into defending a sociopathic fem-boy murderer. No thank you. Theres better people we can root for and defend.

This kid deserves to rot…….6ix9ine may be a snitch and a p*ssy but he never killed anyone and he only had like 4 months left anyway….this dude never getting out.
Good its more than the people he was killed were given fuck this stupid piece of shit he deserves to die of covid19
