DALLAS — Dallas rapper Yella Beezy, whose real name is Markies Deandre Conway, was denied a request to modify his bond conditions to attend his child’s football games, according to court documents filed last week. Yella Beezy has been out on bail since March 28 after a judge lowered his bond . He is currently under house arrest with electronic monitoring after being charged last month with capital murder for remuneration in connection with the 2020 shooting death of fellow Dallas artist Melvin Noble, known as Mo3.
Prosecutors allege Yella Beezy hired a hitman, Kewon White, to carry out the daytime attack on Interstate 35E near Illinois Avenue and Clarendon Drive, just south of the Dallas Zoo. Mo3 was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Although both artists had denied having a conflict, authorities believe they were feuding.
White and Devin Maurice Brown face federal charges in connection with Mo3’s death and were arrested shortly after the shooting, WFAA previously reported. White is serving a nine-year sentence for a gun crime and is in federal custody, records showed, and Brown is booked in the Dallas County Jail. On April 15, Yella Beezy’s attorneys filed a motion asking for a temporary bond modification to allow him to attend the youth sporting events.
They argued the change would benefit his child and support “continued family engagement and stability.” A Dallas County judge denied the request the following day, public records show. WFAA has reached out to Conway's attorneys, John F.
Gussio III and Toby Shook, following the decision. A trial date has not yet been announced. Meanwhile, Conway returned to social media last week to promote his latest single , "My Head" — his first release since his recent legal troubles.
The song centers around inner turmoil and faith, opening with the words, "Silence the noise in my mind." Yella Beezy is best known for his hit 2018 single, "That's on Me," which reached the top spot on rap/R&B radio charts..
