YNW Melly Is “In Fear Of [His] Life” According To Lengthy IG Posts

by

Even from behind bars, YNW Melly has been getting desperate messages out to his fans via Instagram. Earlier this month, he publicly pleaded with figures like Joe Biden, Kim Kardashian, and Meek Mill to help him. Now, the Broward County-born star is back with more allegations about the unfortunate treatment he’s enduring while awaiting trial.

“As of this moment today I am officially in fear of my life,” Melly wrote on Monday (December 12) afternoon. “A new Captain named Hubert and XO Jenkins have taken over the jail for two weeks now. They’ve handed out even harsher punishments for me [than] the previous ones in place.”

According to his account, the 23-year-old moved into a housing unit that holds 24 inmates at once. He’s been staying there alone, with no phone privilege, no television, and no access to a newspaper. “They are watching my every move on camera. Making sure I don’t use the phone to tell the world how I am being mistreated, discriminated, threatened physically, harassed,” he alleges.

Additionally, Melly says that on the one hour a day he is let out of his cell, all other inmates in adjoining dorms go to their respective rooms. “I am being subjected to cruel and unusual treatment at the hands of deputies and high-ranking staff of the Broward Sheriff’s Office,” he insists.

“I have been threatened by Deputies, Lieutenants and Sergeants. They say ‘they will hide me from the world’ and threaten to ‘beat my ass every day.’ If I tell my lawyers they will lie and say I hit them first,” the Florida native adds. Specifically, he credits the threats to Sergeant Anthony Kidd and Lieutenant Jean Baptiste.

The staff have apparently succeeded in their goal of hiding him. Now, Melly believes that their next step is “beating [him] half to death.” This is something he says happens “to other inmates almost daily at the main jail” in Broward County.

Shortly after, another message appeared on the “Murder On My Mind” artist’s profile. “I can’t call my family or lawyers to notify them I have been beaten or harassed,” he vents to his fans in this one. “They say my phone privileges are taken permanently because [of] all of the infractions over the last seven months. THAT IS A LIE!”

“They took my phone privileges indefinitely off of my 1st violation for using another inmate’s pin to talk on the phone when I am not allowed to use the phone,” he explains. Additionally, Melly notes that other inmates in the same circumstance would have gotten their privileges back after 30 days, “per the handbook.”

The recording artist is feeling frustration, particularly after seeing others planning escapes and robberies with jail phones and still having their privileges.

“I am housed and surrounded in the care of power-struck deputies and captains of high authority. They’ve even have told me to my face that ‘they don’t like me’ and ‘I pissed them off,’” Melly’s rant goes on. “I am not safe in the hands of these people,” he insists.

He concluded, “I am in fear of my life. My family is in fear of my life. I can not do another day here. Someone, please help me get moved to another county jail until my trial. PLEASE!”

Idaho Student Killer Remains At Large, Police Increase Campus Presence For Grad

by

The world continues to wait for more answers regarding the tragic slayings of four University of Idaho students last month. Surprisingly, the killer remains at large several weeks later. However, police are slowly but surely providing more updates to the general public as they work towards solving the mystery.

As TMZ reports, authorities have made it known that they’ll be increasing campus security ahead of the school’s upcoming graduation. Moscow PD Chief James Fry specifically told the outlet that he’s been beefing up the number of officers patrolling while families celebrate their special day.

During a Saturday (December 10) news conference, Fry made sure to warn everyone to stay vigilant. Additionally, he spoke about moving in groups and regularly keeping in contact with loved ones.

The murder investigation has gone unsolved for nearly a month now. It was November 13th when Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves were victims of a deathly stabbing at their off-campus housing. Another resident, Xana Kernodle, and her boyfriend, Ethan Chapin, unfortunately met the same fate.

Police have consistently been saying the weapon was a combat-style knife. Any suspect identities remain unknown, though names of those with clearance are making rounds. Among them are two surviving roommates who reportedly slept through the attacks.

Goncalves’ ex-boyfriend, Jack, is not a person of interest. According to previous reports, she and Madison made a total of 10 frantic calls to Kaylee’s former partner not long before they lost their lives.

Countless tips about the same student’s stalker made their way to the FBI as well, though those were unsuccessful in getting answers.

The most recent update regarding the investigation says that currently, police are hoping to speak with the occupants of a white 2011-2013 Hyundai Elantra. The vehicle was seen near the murder scene on that fateful night.

It remains unclear if the occupants are thought to be potential suspects or witnesses.

Earlier this month, one of the victim’s fathers spoke out with an interesting statement about the “means of death” not matching between his daughter and her late friend. Read more about that here, and check back in with HNHH later for more news updates.

PnB Rock Shooting Timeline Reveals A Potential Fourth Suspect

by

PnB Rock was peacefully laid to rest at just 30 years old last month, but the Los Angeles Police Department continues to investigate exactly what led up to the recording artist being fatally shot in front of his girlfriend at Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles.

According to a new report from Fox 11 Los Angeles, the “Selfish” hitmaker’s death may have a fourth suspect who authorities are currently on the hunt for, as they say this person likely played an instrumental role in the fatal tragedy.

The outlet shared that prosecutors believe there was an unidentified man outside the restaurant on the city’s south side when PnB arrived to dine with his partner. He waited until Freddie Lee Trone (who was already arrested in connection with the murder along with his 17-year-old son earlier this week) arrived outside the joint, and the two were seen having a conversation before Trone left and returned with his son, whose name remains anonymous at this time.

The teen was reportedly dropped off within walking distance of Roscoe’s. When entering the restaurant, he allegedly pointed a gun at Rock’s partner, Steph Sibounheuang, telling her to “Give me all of your jewelry now!”

Reports reveal that PnB – born Rakim Allen – was shot in the chest just moments later. The gunman hit the recording artist twice more in the back after he fell to the ground, then turned back to Sibounheuang and said, “Show me your hands, give me that — right now. I swear to God! I shoot you in the head!”

After Steph gave over all of her possessions, the attacker proceeded to remove Allen’s chains, watch, and even his rings as he lay bleeding on the floor. The suspect is said to have run outside to his father’s car afterward, with the two then returning to their home.

These new details provide a different timeline of events than the one authorities initially believed when the 17-year-old unnamed Trone was arrested on Tuesday (September 27).

6ix9ine Says He Was Drunk When He Dissed Brittney Griner But Still Stands On It

by

Blame it on the alcohol.

Just a few days ago, New York rapper 6ix9ine failed to heed previous warning and went through with his trip to Russia, where he performed in front of an adoring crowd – not before taking a moment to diss currently captive WNBA athlete Brittney Griner for the cameras, though.

“F*ck Brittney Griner,” the “GOOBA” artist said in a video shared earlier this weekend, leaning in close to whisper the hateful comment, which he giggled at immediately after delivering.

Those aren’t the only antics 6ix9ine got wrapped up in during his trip overseas. In one video, he can be seen standing shirtless on stage, a bottle of what looks to be vodka in his hands. While speaking to the crowd, he tells them that if anything unfortunate were to happen to him, he would rather be buried in Russia than sent back to America.

Cameras also caught the recording artist leaving the venue, showing love to patrons waiting outside as he walked out – many of whom were clearly star-struck over seeing Tekashi up close and in person.

As for the trash talk, 6ix9ine aimed at Griner earlier, he’s since addressed it and claimed that he was under the influence at the time, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t still stand by what he said.

“I’m not gonna lie I was drunk,” the 26-year-old shared on Instagram. “But I stand on that. I’m in Russia while y’all are scared to come here. Argue with yourself, [suck my d*ck], I’m like that.”

He then reminded readers, “Just remember I’m still alive while your favourite rapper is dead. I’ll be mad too.”
