Previously, YNW Melly’s mother was questioned over allegations of witness tampering, with the rapper's mother claiming that police stole her phone. Now, YNW Melly has delivered an update from prison via Instagram.
The rapper said, “I have been mute for years about the mistreatment, discrimination, and misuse of authority, mental and emotional abuse.” He continued saying, “I have been suffering and in fear,” before calling out staff from the facility he is currently located at.
Melly pointed out specific instances where staff members allegedly violated his rights and noted he hasn’t been able to use the phone to talk to family, friends, managers, or accountants.
The rapper said, “I am innocent until proven guilty, and I have all rights to talk to my family. Whoever took my privileges has a personal vendetta against me. This is true mistreatment and discrimination, plus pain and suffering. I cannot do my time like this awaiting trial being secluded because of my celebrity status and my social media following.” Read his entire message above.
