On Friday, the Philadelphia star responded to a social media post about the case. “After yella was shot 7 times and nobody was convicted ... thats a lot for his son to understand when somebody sit down and tell him the truth about the game of “America” he about to play growing up black,” he wrote.
Meek appeared to reference a 2018 highway shooting in which Beezy was struck multiple times. He has long spoken about the justice system following his own well-documented legal battles, which later fueled his work with the REFORM Alliance.
What Happened In The Yella Beezy Trial
Beezy, born Markies Conway, rose to fame with the breakout single “That’s On Me.” He was convicted of capital murder in the death of Melvin Noble, known as MO3, and immediately sentenced to life without parole. The verdict came on Wednesday, November 11, which was the sixth anniversary of the 2020 shooting.
Prosecutors said Beezy paid Kewon White $40,000 to carry out the killing after a years-long feud between the rappers. White was convicted in September and also received a life sentence. Beezy’s defense maintained his innocence, arguing that the case rested on speculation rather than solid evidence. A third defendant, Devin Brown, is scheduled to stand trial in November.
The emotional toll was visible in the courtroom. NBC 5 reported that Beezy asked to kiss his young son, who left the room crying, and that several people were in tears. Other outlets reported that he collapsed behind the courtroom afterward.
Meek’s comments land in a conversation that is already heavy. A man was killed, and a child will now grow up with his father behind bars. Whether fans agree with Meek’s framing or not, his message taps into a larger debate.
