YNW Melly has been locked up for over two years and it seems that his judge isn’t making any exceptions to letting him out of jail anytime soon. The rapper is in need of dental work as he claims he’s experiencing a painful tooth infection.
According to TMZ, Melly is locked up in Broward County jail awaiting trial for his double murder. Documents reveal that the “Murder On My Mind” artist’s full set of diamond dental crowns needs constant maintenance. The rapper‘s lawyer said he wasn’t allowed to have a toothbrush or dental floss, or even have regular dental visits in jail. As a result of not getting the proper care he needs, Melly says his infection developed a painful abscess in his lower jaw. The request reads,
“Mr. Demons has a full set of diamond dental crowns which require constant upkeep and at bare minimum regular flossing and brushing. Mr. Demons is not allowed dental floss or a regular toothbrush or regular dental visits. As a result, he has an abscess in his lower jaw that is creating extreme pain and chronic infection. Mr. Demons has sought medical care… They do not have the ability to properly clean or care for the growing infection.”
While the star has private insurance, his lawyer argued they were willing to pay out of pocket for any treatment. The cost of getting proper care would also include his own transportation and independent security. However, the judge still denied his request.
When will YNW Melly come home?
Back in June, Mellys mother Jamie Demons-King, took to Instagram where she replied to a fan about her son’s release. On her story she said, “He will be home 2022,” insinuating he will be home sometime this year. It was also reported a few months back that the rapper received some good news as his death penalty has been dropped. If convicted, Melly will be sentenced to a lifetime in prison for the murder of his two friends. Keep updated with FM Hip-Hop as we wait for a verdict on Melly’s case.
