According to a statement on the Instagram page of the Murder on My Mind rapper, he was seeking an early release because the jail isn’t equipped to deal with the deadly pandemic. “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.’

We hope he’ll get the approval and the medical attention he needs.
