Twitter Debates If YNW Melly Should Be Freed

Twitter users have been debating back and forth whether or not Melly deserves to be freed. He’s been awaiting trial since he was arrested in February 2019 and charged with two counts of first-degree murder. The Florida rapper is currently behind bars for the death of his fellow crew members Christopher Thomas Jr. (YNW Juvy) and Anthony Williams (YNW Sakchaser).

Bobby Shmurda is big free. The hip-hop veteran has finally tasted freedom after spending over six years behind bars on a federal gun conviction. According to reports, Shmurda has officially put his prison days behind him. Footage has started to circulate online showing him talking to his mom through a FaceTime session.

Bobby Shmurda has reason to bust out the Shmurda Dance … he’s no longer behind bars after getting sprung early. The rapper was released from New York’s infamous Clinton Correctional Facility just before 8:30 Tuesday morning, which is about 10 months earlier than expected. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … Shmurda will now be under parole supervision for the next 5 years until Feb. 23, 2026. (TMZ)

Shmurda’s mom has since hit up her social media pages with footage of her freed son.

“There are no words to explain the JOY in my ❤ God knows the way I Love my boys and I Thank him for bringing them both back to me in one piece the same way they left. I am so overwhelmed and in 6 years 2 months and 5 days and 5.5hrs I finally feel like myself again. God is so good and we are truly BLESSED!!!!”
