Rapper YNW Melly, whose real name is Jamell Maurice Demons, is reportedly dying in prison from Coronavirus (aka COVID-19) and his lawyer wants him released.

The 20-year-old is suffering from “suffering from severe chills, heavy labored breathing, headaches and body aches,” TMZ reports. His lawyer is alleging that the prison in Florida is not handling the pandemic appropriately, stating, “they have not given them masks, or cleaning supplies that would be beneficial regarding his recovery. This is against all recommendations of the Surgeon General and CDC.”

His lawyer added that Melly is down to 114 pounds and he’s being kept with another inmate with Coronavirus and there’s concern “if the virus can be mutated or passed reoccurring between individuals.” He’s also reportedly not being monitored every hour like he’s supposed to be.

He was diagnosed last week. He was arrested and charged with double murder last year.

YNW Melly has been diagnosed with coronavirus while in jail.

The 20-year-old “Mixed Personalities” rapper – whose real name is Jamell Demons – is currently awaiting trial in Florida for his double first-degree murder case.

His official Instagram page shared in a post on Thursday (April 2), “Melly has tested positive for COVID-19 today while awaiting his trial in Broward County Jail. He’ll be filing a motion for restricted release in hopes of better care due to any jails not being prepared to treat this new virus. He hopes for your support and to recover soon #prayformelly send positive energy to him please.”

YNW Melly‘s account also posted screenshot of an article stating that two Broward County Jail inmates have reportedly tested positive for the virus this week. The Broward Sheriff’s Office reportedly said that one of the inmates “showed no signs of the disease after arrest and screening in March.”

Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine was recently granted early release due to the health crisis.
