Last week, on Thursday, March 20, Yella Beezy was arrested in Dallas, Texas, on charges of capital murder-for-hire. The rapper, born Markies Deandre Conway, was taken into custody in connection with the November 11, 2020, murder of rapper MO3, whose real name was Melvin Abdul Noble Jr.
Initially, Yella Beezy's bail was set at $2 million but was later reduced to $750K. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the DFWM rapper has an estimated net worth of $2 million.
Beezy rose to prominence in the late 2010s, gaining national attention with his 2017 single That's On Me, which peaked at number 56 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Yella Beezy featured big-time artists like 2 Chainz and T.I. in the track's remix.

Following his arrest on March 24 - with a $2 million bail bond - Yella Beezy requested a lower bond. The hearing for his appeal took place on Thursday, March 27, overseen by Judge Gracie Lewis.
During the hearing, Beezy's grandmother, Alma Jean Alexander, testified that the On Fleek rapper couldn't afford his bail bond. After reviewing the case, Judge Lewis granted a bond reduction to $750K. The judge also issued an order prohibiting Conway from any contact with victims or witnesses, saying:
"You are to have no contact, direct or indirect, no threatening or harrassment of any victims or witnesses. If it's you or anybody on your behalf, there's going to be a problem. Do you understand that?"
Investigators allege that Conway hired Kewon Dontrell White to kill MO3. The late rapper was killed in an ambush-style shooting on Dallas's I-35 in broad daylight. According to reports, Noble was in his car on the interstate when White approached him with a gun in his hand and a ski mask on his face.
Upon seeing White approach, Noble got out of his car and started running in the other direction, with the former shooting him in the back several times.
A month after MO3's death, White was arrested in December 2021 and charged with the late rapper's murder. He is currently serving a nine-year prison sentence for firearm charges connected to the shooting.
This isn't Yella Beezy's first run-in with the law. Four years ago, the Motion rapper was arrested by the Dallas police on weapon charges. Later that year, in August 2021, Beezy was arrested on gun and drug charges. In November 2021, Plano police arrested him on a s*xual assault charge.
More recently, in July 2024, Yella Beezy was named as a co-defendant in a $50 million lawsuit alleging that the rapper beat up four men at a Dickies Arena concert. Besides Beezy, Chris Brown and his entourage were also named in the suit.
The Favors rapper's legal team later denied his involvement in the altercation, claiming that he was present at the concert but didn't participate in the brawl.
