Day 8: Yella Beezy on Trial for MO3 Murder
Court coverage is drawing viewers. FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth's upload titled "Day 8: Yella Beezy on Trial for MO3 Murder" reached about 88,000 views in its first 13 hours, far above the station's usual start for long broadcasts.
The case concerns the killing of Dallas rapper MO3, whose real name was Melvin Noble, on Interstate 35 in Dallas in 2020. According to the station's account, prosecutors accuse Yella Beezy, whose real name is Markies Conway, of paying another man to carry out the killing. Conway has pleaded not guilty to capital murder and denies involvement.
The audience is not confined to the day-eight upload. The station's day-seven broadcast also drew views at a pace far above its usual long-form coverage.
For anyone opening the day-eight video expecting immediate testimony, there is a wait: its opening twenty minutes show a static trial graphic with photographs of Yella Beezy and a continuous background tone, with no courtroom dialogue.
Dallas rapper whose real name is Markies Deandre Conway. He is known for the singles "That's On Me" and "Bacc At It Again".
