YNW Melly released his new album Just a Moment of Slime from behind bars on Friday (August 13), but his limited promo options didn’t come without punishments.
The Florida rapper took to Instagram on Tuesday (August 17) to reveal a prison officer at Broward County Jail had confiscated his Gucci clothes and removed access to video visitation for around three months. All of this is a result of promoting his latest project through an Instagram video, but he doesn’t have any regrets.
“To all my fans i love y’all and truly appreciate y’all,” YNW Melly said. “the broward county main jail lieutenant had confiscated my gucci shoes and my gucci sock / headband due to the promotion video i posted for my album in just a matter of slime last Friday and they have took my video visitation privileges for 90 days so i cannot interact with my family and fans through video visit.”
He added, “but the risk was worth it we went #1. they can take my shoes, socks and visit but they can’t take that #1 away i did it for y’all.”
YNW Melly was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder in February 2019 for allegedly shooting two members of his crew, YNW Sakchaser and YNW Juvy, with prosecutors seeking the death penalty.
Just a Moment of Slime is stacked with features from Lil Baby, Future, Lil Uzi Vert, Young Thug, Lil Durk, Kodak Black, Queen Naija, Lil Tjay, Kevin Gates and Tee Grizzley. The project serves as the follow-up to his debut album Melly vs. Melvin, which was released in November 2019.

According to TMZ, YNW Melly worked on the album for eight months over the phone with sound engineers, but recorded his own verses before entering prison. The title of the album comes from Melly being unable to get a trial date due to the COVID-19 pandemic shutting down courts.

I do not understand how that kind of pos have: a promo articles on site like this, b guest features from other human rappers (well they getting paid so). It is what it is. How long till the next eulogy article? Keep promoting this shit still.
Thank you for promoting a convicted murderer and skipping nearly all the stuff real artists do. Your site is great. Keep up the good job and kill this genre asap.
Stfu
Definitely hasn’t been convicted yet Johnny boy.
Bruh, give us some heat with Foolio! Album was a banger!
Only the black community would continue to give this piece of trash the time of day. We have to do better. Dude is filth and doesn’t deserve any publicity. Any rapper rocking with him is a disgrace.
Black community? and youre racist filth.
When the festivals roll around and there’s literally 100 000 white kids screaming every lyric from his album you’ll realize how dumb your comment is.
Is this news tho? Like who benefits from knowing this? How much y’all get paid to promote this fuck shit? Is it worth it? The fuck happened to this site? #washed
