After being charged with double murder, Rapper YNW Melly has been making headlines since the start of his trial. However, this time around, it's his defense attorney that's in the spotlight after a video of the duo made the rounds on social media. In the short clip, YNW Melly’s lawyer can be seen whispering into the rapper's ears and covering her mouth with her notebook. The cover of the notebook had the text “evil plans and stuff” written across it.
The video soon went viral on social media, as it garnered more than 1.3 million views in just 24 hours. Netizens couldn’t resist making jokes in response to the clip, and Twitter user @theshamingofjay commented:
YNW Melly has been accused of murdering two of his best friends, Christopher and Anthony, in October 2018. On the first day of the trial on Monday, June 12, 2023, the defense and the prosecution laid out their arguments, where the defense claimed that it was YNW Bortlen and not YNW Melly who shot the two friends.
The prosecution refuted the statement by showing proof that Bortlen came to the location after the murders had already occurred. The trial is expected to last for the next few weeks, and the prosecutors are seeking the death penalty if the rapper is found guilty of the crime.
