Jamel Maurice Demons

Many American rappers have had problems with the law, but YNW Melly is mired in vice the most: the young man is accused of murdering two people, he faces the death penalty. While YNW Melly is in jail, the track "Murder On My Mind", which is mistaken for a frank confession, breaks every conceivable viewing and listening record.

YNW Melly's real name is Jamel Maurice Demons. He was born on May 1, 1999 in Gifford, Florida. The responsibility for the rapper's unfortunate biography lies in part with the parents. Jamel did not know his father, only his name remained in his memory - Jamie Demons. The young man ran away when his 14-year-old girlfriend Donta Taylor became pregnant.

The schoolgirl - Donta was finishing 8th grade - did not think about an abortion. At first, her mother helped her, then she had to raise Jamel alone. Donta worked at the Dunkin 'Donuts coffee shop to support herself and her son, to pay for housing in the poorest area of ​​Gifford.

Jamel's relationship with classmates did not work out: they ridiculed the future hitmaker for his appearance. Anger began to boil in the boy. When he was in 4th grade, he found a gun in the house of his uncle, who was a drug dealer. Later in an interview with YNW, Melly admitted that "I liked him immediately." Since then, according to the rapper, the weapon has always been in your pocket. Repeatedly this fact played against Jamel.

At the age of 15, Jamel Demons joined Bloods, one of the biggest street rap hangouts. The guy replicated the tracks through SoundCloud. Later, the YNW - Young Nigga World gang appeared. In addition to Melly, it included Bortlen (Courtlen Henry), Sakchaser (Anthony Williams) and Juvy (Christopher Thomas Jr.). The guys were childhood friends. Together they wrote music and lyrics for future hits. In total, about 500 tracks have accumulated, which Jamel cannot yet record for objective reasons.

In 2017, YNW Melly started to get into trouble with the law. Once under arrest, the rapper did not stop composing. The result was the "Collect Call" mixtape, which included tracks from many well-known artists, including Lil B and John Wicks.

Friends from the gang helped YNW Melly release individual songs in 2018: "Virtual (Blue Balenciagas)", "4 Real", "Butter Pecan", "Medium Fries", "Rolling Loud" and others. They became singles for their debut album "I Am You", which peaked at number 192 on the Billboard 200 in January 2019.

The most famous song from the album is “Murder On My Mind”. She is mistaken for the rapper's frank confession of a double murder. "Wrong" as the track was released in March 2017 and the crime took place in October 2018.

По словам YNW Melly, именно из-за «Murder On My Mind» он второй раз сел в тюрьму. Рэпер заявил, что на суде прокурор продекламировал второй куплет песни, в котором подробно описывается сцена убийства, и отметил, что «одного этого трека достаточно, чтобы отправить YNW Melly за решетку».

Так или иначе, «Murder On My Mind» — это хит. Первыми, кто его оценил, стали соседи YNW Melly по тюремной камере. Они просили товарища читать «Murder On My Mind» снова и снова, а в качестве платы за выступления приносили товары, которые нелегко было достать в неволе, например, сладости. Клип на песню «Mama Cry» включает документальную запись, на которой рэпер а капелла выступает перед сокамерниками.

Видео на «Murder On My Mind» вышло в августе 2018-го. Спустя год количество просмотров на YouTube достигло 241 млн. Причиной такой популярности частично является обвинение YNW Melly в двойном убийстве. Существует сиквел песни — «Mind on My Murder», который вошел в пластинку «I Am You». Текст написан от лица жертвы.

«We All Shine», второй микстейп в дискографии рэпера, включает 16 треков, в том числе совместные с Канье Уэстом и Fredo Bang. Клип на «Mixed Personalities» с участием Уэста вышел одновременно со сборником.

Jamel Demons committed his first crime at the end of 2015. The young man was found guilty of armed attack on students at Vero Beach High School and the use of weapons in a public place. Despite his young age (the rapper was then 16 years old), the court sent him to jail for a year. YNW Melly served 4 months in a colony and was released in March 2017.

On June 30, 2018, Demons was arrested in Fort Myers Beach, Florida for possession of marijuana and violation of parole conditions. According to US law, the rapper did not have the right to carry a weapon, but during the search they found a pistol on him. YNW Melly himself believes that he was jailed because of the song "Murder On My Mind".

On January 3, 2019, the rapper was arrested again for possession of marijuana, and a month later, on February 13, YNW Melly was charged with a really serious charge.

Демонс и Кортлен YNW Bortlen Генри являются главными подозреваемыми в убийстве своих друзей Энтони YNW Sakchaser Уильямса (21 год) и Кристофера YNW Juvy Томаса – младшего (19 лет). Преступление произошло 26 октября 2018 года в Форт-Лодердейле, штат Флорида. Ребят в госпиталь доставил YNW Bortlen.

Полиции YNW Melly и YNW Bortlen рассказали, что стали жертвой вооруженного нападения. Однако при расследовании в салоне автомобиля обнаружили гильзу. На основании этого факта, а также данных GPS-навигации следствие сделало вывод, что рэперы сами расстреляли своих друзей, не выходя из машины, а затем выпустили несколько обойм в корпус, чтобы инициировать обстрел.

Сначала полиция задержала YNW Bortlen, 13 февраля 2019 года в участок самостоятельно пришел YNW Melly. Перед этим рэпер в «Твиттере» назвал обвинения в свой адрес «слухами»:

5 марта 2019 года при предъявлении обвинения в суде Флориды YNW Melly в преступлении не сознался. Его мать заявила, что разочарована в решении сына не сотрудничать со следствием. Тщательное изучение личностей YNW Melly и YNW Bortlen выявило еще одно преступление, к которому оба могут быть причастны, — убийство полицейского Гарри Чемблисса в 2017 году. Считается, что рэперы находились на месте происшествия, а шальная пуля, ставшая для сотрудника правопорядка роковой, вполне могла быть выпущена YNW Melly или YNW Bortlen.

It is difficult to build a personal life while in a prison cell. Maybe YNW Melly has a chosen one, but now the tabloids pay much less attention to her than to the lawsuit, the outcome of which can not only break the rapper's career, but also end his life.

Jamel Demons is now in prison without bail. The next hearing in the double murder case took place on July 11, 2019. While the prosecution insists on the most severe punishment for both suspects - the death penalty by injection.

On Instagram, which during the absence of YNW Melly is hosted by his manager, on May 15, 2019, a recording of a telephone conversation appeared, in which Demons said that he would soon be released. This is not the first encouraging statement, but there are no prerequisites for the guy to be acquitted.

Even in such a difficult situation, YNW Melly does not give up creativity. On April 13, 2019, the premiere of the Free M&M mixtape, recorded with DJ Shurefire, which probably means "Free Melly & Melvin", took place. Melvin is the "dark" side of the Demon, "the one who protects Melly from bad people."
