YNW Melly has been diagnosed with coronavirus while in jail. The 20-year-old “Mixed Personalities” rapper – whose real name is Jamell Demons – is currently awaiting trial in Florida for his double first-degree murder case.
His official Instagram page shared in a post on Thursday (April 2), “Melly has tested positive for COVID-19 today while awaiting his trial in Broward County Jail.
He’ll be filing a motion for restricted release in hopes of better care due to any jails not being prepared to treat this new virus.
He hopes for your support and to recover soon #prayformelly send positive energy to him please.” YNW Melly‘s account also posted screenshot of an article stating that two Broward County Jail inmates have reportedly tested positive
