According to the indictment, Beezy is accused of “capital murder while remuneration,” meaning he allegedly paid Kewon White to carry out the fatal shooting on November 11, 2020. Mo3, 28, was driving northbound on Interstate 35 near Illinois Avenue when he was ambushed and gunned down by White, who reportedly chased him in a black Chevy Camaro and fired multiple shots. Mo3 succumbed to his injuries at a hospital, while a bystander in another vehicle was wounded but survived. White was arrested shortly after the incident and is currently serving a nine-year sentence on firearm charges related to the case.
The arrest of Yella Beezy, whose real name is Markies Deandre Conway, follows a grand jury indictment issued just days prior. Authorities claim Beezy’s involvement stems from a reported feud within the rap community, though specific motives remain under investigation. The news has sent shockwaves through the music industry, given Beezy’s prominence and past collaborations with artists like Chris Brown and Lil Durk.
Beezy, 30, has faced legal troubles before, including arrests for drug and firearm possession in 2021, but this charge marks a dramatic escalation. His legal team has not yet issued a public statement, and no trial date has been set. Meanwhile, fans and critics are grappling with the allegations, which contrast sharply with Beezy’s public persona as a chart-topping artist. The case continues to unfold as authorities seek justice for Mo3’s tragic death, leaving the hip-hop community in mourning and reflection.
