Rapper Yella Beezy was released on bond Friday morning (March 28). According to The Dallas Morning News, Beezy (born Markies Conway) posted a $750,000 bond to secure his release after being reduced by a judge from $2 million on Thursday.
After being indicted by a Dallas County grand jury on March 18, Beezy was arrested on a capital murder while remuneration charge in the shooting death of fellow Dallas rapper Mo3. The “Errybody” rapper was gunned down in November 2020 in a highway shooting on I-35E in Texas.
Beezy will reportedly be on strict bond conditions, including house arrest with an ankle monitor, random drug and alcohol testing and giving up his passport.
He’s barred from possessing weapons, contacting any witnesses, victims or co-defendants and must seek permission from the court to travel outside Dallas.
In addition to Beezy, a pair of individuals, Kewon White and Devin Brown, were also indicted on murder charges in the death of Mo3. The indictment accuses Beezy of hiring White to shoot Mo3.
Beezy was reportedly released around 10 a.m. local time on Friday morning after his bond was lowered from $2 million to $750,000 during Thursday’s hearing.
Footage of Mo3’s murder was played during a court hearing earlier this week, which shows the rapper being shot by an assailant on foot after his car stopped on I-35E near the Dallas Zoo.
Beezy was arrested in 2021 on charges of sexual assault and unlawful possession of a weapon, but they were ultimately dropped. He was the victim of a shooting in 2018.
On the music side, Beezy teamed up with Lil Wayne for “Hit” in 2024. His last album, Bad Azz Yella Boy, arrived in 2022.
Billboard has reached out to reps for Yella Beezy and the Dallas County Sheriff’s office.
