The courtroom was electric as prosecutors unveiled what they claim is the most damning piece of evidence yet in the high-profile double mrder trial of rapper YNW Melly. During the latest hearing, prosecutors alleged that Melly — whose real name is Jamell Demons — not only orchestrated the kllings of his two best friends but also admitted to the crime in a chilling statement caught on record.
According to the prosecution, Melly can be heard whispering, “I did that, shh,” — a line that has sent shockwaves through social media and reignited fierce debate over his innocence. The statement, prosecutors claim, was captured in the aftermath of the deadly shooting, when Melly allegedly tried to cover up the incident by staging it as a drive-by attack.
Prosecutor Kristine Bradley stood before the jury, replaying portions of the evidence while laying out the timeline of events. “This was not a random act of violence,” she said firmly. “This was a deliberate and cold-blooded act — and the defendant himself admitted it.”
The victims, aspiring rappers Anthony “YNW Sakchaser” Williams and Christopher “YNW Juvy” Thomas Jr., were found in October 2018 with fatal gunshot wounds inside a Jeep. Melly and his co-defendant, Cortlen “YNW Bortlen” Henry, are accused of driving around with the victims’ bodies before bringing them to the hospital and claiming they had been caught in a drive-by.
Defense attorneys, however, pushed back hard, arguing that the prosecution’s so-called confession is being “misinterpreted and sensationalized.” “The line ‘I did that’ could refer to any number of things,” Melly’s attorney said, calling the state’s interpretation “an emotional reach.” The defense maintains that Melly is being framed by overzealous prosecutors and unreliable witnesses.
The case has become one of the most closely followed trials in hip-hop history, blending celebrity, controversy, and shocking violence. Fans and critics alike have been glued to every update, with hashtags like #FreeMelly and #JusticeForJuvy trending on social media. Some supporters claim Melly is innocent and that the justice system is targeting him because of his fame. Others believe the evidence paints a clear picture of guilt.
Legal experts say the trial has been unpredictable from the start. “This is one of those cases where both sides have powerful arguments,” said one analyst. “But if the jury believes that recording is a true confession, it could seal his fate.”
The judge has warned jurors not to be swayed by public opinion as the case moves closer to a verdict. Meanwhile, Melly remains composed in court, occasionally flashing a smile or whispering to his lawyers — behavior that has sparked mixed reactions online.
With every new revelation, the tension in the courtroom grows thicker. Whether the alleged “I did that” line is a smoking gun or a misunderstood phrase, it’s clear that the outcome of this trial will go down in history — not just for its shocking details, but for the way it blurs the line between fame, art, and accountability.
