Rapper Yella Beezy, best known for his breakout hit That’s On Me, has been arrested in connection with the 2020 shooting death of fellow rapper Mo3.

The 33-year-old artist born Markies Conway – who has collaborated with top names in hip-hop such as Chris Brown, Ty Dolla Sign, and Lil Baby – was taken into custody Thursday afternoon and booked into the Dallas County Jail after a warrant was issued for his arrest, according to court records, per TMZ.

The arrest follows a grand jury indictment two days earlier, charging Beezy with felony murder.

MO3, whose real name was Melvin Noble, was gunned down in broad daylight on a Dallas highway on November 11, 2020. 

According to the indictment, Beezy was charged with ‘capital murder while remuneration,’ alleging that he ‘intentionally and knowingly’ participated in Noble’s killing by hiring Kewon White to carry out the hit in exchange for payment.

White was arrested about a month after MO3’s death and is currently serving a nine-year prison sentence on firearm charges related to the case.

A bystander sitting in another vehicle was also hit but survived with non-life-threatening injuries. 

In 2021, Beezy was arrested on charges of felony drug possession and unlawful firearm possession.

According to the police report, the rapper was found with over 400 grams of a controlled substance, along with four handguns and a rifle, TMZ reported.

It marked his second arrest in just six months.

In February 2021, Beezy was pulled over in Dallas after allegedly running a stop sign in his armor-plated, bulletproof truck.

A search of his vehicle led to his arrest for unlawful firearm possession.
