Prosecutors pursuing a conviction against rapper YNW Melly, born Jamell Demons, haven’t brought the rapper’s hit song “Murder On My Mind” into the double murder trial so far. First Amendment expert Floyd Abrams breaks down why the record-breaking hit is not in the prosecution’s arsenal of evidence with SiriusXM host Mina “SayWhat” Llona.

Key and Peele predicted this
It’s just a song your honor
THAT MELVIN
Melly: "Caught him by suprise"
Judge: ok, not guilty!
“Your honor” His face was on a T-Shirt because it was fan merch
Who is she? I like her!
It’s a gang not a set get it right
No he wrote it abt him killing the person who shot him as a kid
Hes obviously dealing with mental health because who in their right mind would kill their bestfriend for fame???
AK-47 Mak's 11 and glock's and 9 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 these are the evd from the lyrics
He’s not charged wym
Little does she know… She just made the greatest interlude to a dope album.
Melly is a good man im not a judge or anything but i feel like melly was threatened to be killed if he dint do what that person said maybe thats what happened maybe he was threatened to murder or he dies idk what do ya think
Don’t let this guy discover underground rap then
They low-key feeling it though 😅😂
your honor, he clearly didn’t mean to shoot him he just caught him by surprise
Omg I’m scared that people are gonna keep using rap and hip hop lyrics like this… If an artist paints a picture of a murder scene and then years later get involved in a murder with a similar scene, would you let them use that painting against the artist? Whether it’s actually their doing or not, how fair would it be to use that in court?
Born Jamell Demons……"Murder On My Mind" last name explains it all "Demons"
Mistrial.
I'm surprised the prosecution didn't use "223's" lyrics as evidence against him. He literally says "heard he caught a body but that does not mean s*** to me, got 2 on me, got 2 on me" and that came out very shortly after his 2 friends died. If anything this is more incriminating than "murder on my mind"
Yes my honer, I shot him 2 times on his back cause he caught me by surprised
The irony of him making the song before the alleged crime happened gives me chills
Lock him up
It’s not rocket science. He’s probably killed more than just his 2 boys.
He made that song when he was 17 years old 2 years before any altercations.
Who else came here to hear the song ?
Melly dropped the song years before that happened, he just remade the flow all I got say
bruh this old dude is closer to the grave than to the truth he aint have no idea what he talkin bout😂
there’s a song called 223s where he says he has 2 bodies, being the 2 guys he and his friend killed, case closed he’s guilty😂
The song was written by melon 🍈 in 2016
Mac been out babe😉
The DA is a bad da she dnt have a case she trying prove about n a gang an phne not the muder cus she knw she cnt pit him there no strong evidence to convict
the song was realesed a year before melly did it
The song was made 4 years ago💀💀💀
I’m a Big fan of Melly but if they use the song 223’s. I believe Melly will be done.
Am I Reaching?
This man is so old he talks just like Jo biden,
The dong was made prior to deaths, and he also made 2 versions, one as a victim of murder and one as THEE victim of murder. Using music as court evidence is the worst shiii ever, and why only rap music? I've heard rock, country, pop music that talks about killing someone and yall call it art.
This is bad😮
Why she laughing
I like ynw melly song it is good we can’t lose another good rapper
This song is literally abt something that already happen.
2:35 he never said he shot his friend in the song
Nah it should be used it shows his thoughts
She awesome 😊
My question is… Glorifying betrayal of friends?
Do you love Ceasar 👑 Or Brutas?
Do you love Jesus 👑 or Judas?
– J X 100
Im not a gang. I am just a music maker. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I wish people would realize EVERYONE is CAPABLE of MURDER
That song was out before his friends died. It was recorded and released way before that.
This prosecutor is so incompetent, that I would be surprised if Melly were found guilty.
