YNW Melly Achieves Small Victories In Trial Over Use Of Evidence

by

The double murder trial of YNW Melly is looking bleak online for those who want to see the rapper walk away. Moreover, this is because social media clips of his behavior, including blowing kisses and his lawyer’s suggestive notebook, have people thinking that it looks ridiculous. However, none of those aspects actually translate into the court of law, and on the fourth day of his trial on Thursday (June 15), he and his team actually heard some good news. Furthermore, these reports come from Law & Crime Network correspondent Bryson “Boom” Paul, who has been consistently covering this trial with frequent updates via his social media accounts.

“Judge John Murphy III denies the Prosecutor’s use of @Snapchat memories in the next witness testimony due to the presence of a firearm and cash in one of the videos,” the reporter tweeted. “‘Prejudicial,’ he says.” For those unaware, “prejudicial” means that it would be evidence that would cause an inherent bias against the defendant without actually being evidence that contributes to the matters of fact in the case. Another update held similar weight and described the reaction of the family of YNW Juvy, the deceased associate of YNW Melly who he stands accused of murdering. The state also accused him of murdering YNW SakChaser in this trial for double murder. “Juvy’s grandmother says “Damn” as Judge Murphy lll says the music video “Murder on My Mind” will not be used based on prejudice,” Paul relayed via Twitter.

Positive Updates For YNW Melly’s Side Of Murder Trial

Meanwhile, Juvy’s mother recalled how she walked out of the courtroom when the 24-year-old accused murderer blew kisses during session. “He did it a couple of times.. that wasn’t his first time,” Leondra Phillips said, calling his displays “disrespectful. I walked out. What you praying for? You sitting there like you ain’t got no remorse. Like, every time I walk in, you smiling. This ain’t the same for that. This is sad, this case is serious.”

Others have instead stood by the Gifford native’s innocence, with Boosie Badazz showing up in person during proceedings. Another famous rap figure, Lil Durk, declared “Free Melly” via his Instagram page. It remains a murky case, but one that, at least for today, brightened for the rapper and his team.

Beyoncé Ties Record For Most Wins In Grammys History

by

Beyoncé has officially tied for the most wins in Grammys history after her success at the awards ceremony on Sunday night. Her track “Cuff It” notched her a win for Best R&B Song, while “Break My Soul” helped her win Best Dance/Electronic Recording. Additionally, she won Best Traditional R&B Performance with “Plastic Off the Sofa.”

Despite the historic performance, Beyoncé was unable to accept the awards in person. She was reportedly 45 minutes late to the ceremony while stuck in L.A. traffic. “Beyoncé is on her way. The upside of hosting the Grammys in L.A. is that everyone can be here. The downside of hosting the Grammys in L.A. is the traffic,” host Trevor Noah joked. “Beyoncé is on her way.”

With 31 total Grammy wins, Beyoncé is now tied with conductor Georg Solti. Additionally, she and her husband, JAY-Z, both share the record for the most nominations ever with 88 each. All-in-all, Beyoncé received nominations in nine categories at this year’s Grammy Awards. She is also up for Record of the Year (“Break My Soul”), Album of the Year (Renaissance), Song of the Year (“Break My Soul”), and Best Dance/Electronic Music Album (Renaissance). Elsewhere in the night, Viola Davis achieved EGOT status for her work on the audiobook for her memoir, Finding Me. Kendrick Lamar also took home several awards.

Beyoncé released Renaissance back in July 2022, over six years following her previous solo studio album, Lemonade. The album featured collaborations with Nova Wav, The-Dream, Symbolyc One, A. G. Cook, Honey Dijon, Beam, Tricky Stewart, BloodPop, Skrillex, Hit-Boy, No I.D., and more. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, with 332,000 album-equivalent units.

Later this year, Beyoncé will be embarking on her “Renaissance World Tour 2023.” For the shows, she’ll be stopping in Chicago, New York, Atlanta, Washington D.C., and many more cities across the globe. Revisit Beyoncé’s “Break My Soul” below.
