Video summary
Yella Beezy, whose real name is Marquise Conway, is set to return to court for a second day of testimony regarding his capital murder charges related to the 2020 killing of fellow Dallas rapper Mo 3. During this proceeding, his legal team has requested that the judge exclude several of his rap songs from evidence, arguing that jurors might mistakenly interpret lyrical content and stage personas as real-life admissions of guilt. To support this motion, the defense called an expert on hip-hop music who testified that rap storytelling often relies on exaggerated characters, drawing a parallel to professional wrestlers who maintain their personas long after a performance ends. This strategy aims to prevent the jury from conflating artistic expression with factual evidence in the trial.
A significant development in the case involves the testimony of Keewon White, also known as Key Glock, who is scheduled to testify before Yella Beezy. The hosts discuss how White's upcoming appearance could potentially shift the narrative, suggesting that if White takes full responsibility for the crime, it might clear Yella Beezy of direct involvement. There is speculation that this sequence of events could lead to a reduction in Yella Beezy's bond or provide him with a legal break, as the focus may move toward holding White accountable. However, the hosts also note the strategic nature of these moves, questioning why the prosecution would pursue a lengthy trial if they believed the defendant was solely responsible for orchestrating the killing without ties to Mo 3.
Despite some perceived leniency regarding evidence and witness order, the situation remains complex with numerous moving parts that could turn against Yella Beezy. The hosts point out inconsistencies in the case details, such as conflicting stories about tattoos and physical descriptions of the shooter, while noting that other individuals like Rain Water are facing separate legal troubles involving asset seizures and lawsuits. They emphasize that murder cases do not have a statute of limitations, meaning authorities can revisit old evidence years later, which adds to the uncertainty surrounding the trial. The discussion highlights the high stakes involved, with the potential for new witnesses and shifting testimonies making it difficult to predict the final outcome for all parties involved in the Mo 3 case.

>> Yeah, we on Boss Talk TV. Shout out to E
Heater, reason you see
>> Marquise Con So, Yella Beezy, whose real
name is Marquise Conway, will be back in
court this morning for a second day of
testimony. His attorneys are asking the
judge to keep several rap songs out of
evidence, arguing jurors could mistake
lyrics and stage personas for real-life
admissions. Conway has pleaded not
guilty to capital murder. Prosecutors
accused him of orchestrating the 2020
killing of fellow Dallas rapper Mo 3.
Yesterday, the defense called an expert
on rap music, who testified that rap
often tells stories through exaggerated
characters, comparing artists to
professional wrestlers, who stay in
character long after the performance and
>> Let me stop right there. Man, guys,
Yella Beezy just got some great news,
man. Uh
he got some great news. Yella Beezy's
legal trouble just got a little lighter.
But, the Mo 3 case definitely isn't
going anywhere. It says uh the "That's
on Me" rapper allegedly with drew 40,000
in cash just days before Mo 3 was slain
on Interstate 35 in Texas. It says his
bond may have been lowered from 2
million to 750,000,
but the odds are are evidently still
stacked against Yella Beezy. Uh it says
it's talking about Thursday It says the
Dallas rapper appeared in court, and
when he did, Graciela Lewis reviewed the
capital murder for uh remuneration
uh and charged it with connection to
2020 shooting of fellow home uh hero
hometown hero Mo 3.
Uh and as y'all know, his grandmama
stepped up during that time, and
basically uh you know, she she hooked
him up. And all this stuff has happened,
but now Yella Beezy is basically uh he
he got a break cuz the other boy got to
go first. I know OG said that it's a bad
thing, but if this guy gets up there,
and and this thing become all about him,
it's not such a bad thing. I didn't
agree with OG on that after I further
thought about it. OG, are you there?
>> I'm I'm Yeah, I'm listening to you. The
judge I can hear
>> Wait a minute. The judge Louis But So,
it's a little easier on him and instead
of a little harder on him. If that man
is going before him
>> Once he easy. Once he easy.
>> Well, if the guy goes before him and he
takes all of the blame for it, he don't
have to worry about it when he go up
there. It's like you already know he
didn't have nothing to do with it. That
could be blowed out the water.
>> If was a fifth, we'd all be drunk.
>> But it could it could be blowed out the
water, right? It could be blowed out the
water now because uh Keewon White could
go in there and mess this whole thing
up. You don't have to make it the way
it's easy on Yella Beezy. So, I thought
about that and I said, you know what?
I'm going to check OG about that when I
do get to talk to him about it. I'm
going to have to let him know the truth
how I feel about it in my heart.
>> That's not the That's not the truth.
>> Why is it not the truth, OG?
>> That's That's your opinion
[clears throat] and you have no
educated opinion about law. You're
You're a a novice that just deal with
emotions, not real life. And so, it is a
plan and I stand on what when that man
gets to court
if he was going to take the beef, he
wouldn't even be going to trial. He'd
just say, "I'm guilty." Why do you think
they would do a whole trial in Texas
to for somebody to just say, "Oh, I
would have did it single-handedly."
And he has no ties to Mo 3. It doesn't
even sound logical. Now, think about it
sometime, bro.
>> So, you you trying to tell me it doesn't
sound logical when he's But he going
because he's fighting it, but in that
fight, he could make some horrible
horrible mistakes
to where it points the finger more at
him showing that he was the one that
orchestrated it all together. So, you
don't know which way it's going go. That
courtroom, you and I both know how it
can go either way.
>> going to go that way. We know it ain't
going to go that way.
>> Well, I mean
it's a reason why they pulled Trap Boy
Freddy's information away from him. It's
a reason why they basically uh put this
list together. You and I both agree that
it was no way they going to put 200 and
some odd, almost 300 people on no damn
stand.
So, this is a lot of stuff where it
looks like a lot of reaching going on at
some point here, too. I know a lot of
the uh the Mo Threep the Mo Three uh
sectors going to say this and say that
when I say cuz they they they always
want me to pick a side. I never pick a
side in this stuff. And so, at the end
of the day when I see uh uh uh things
that look crazy to me, it's like, "Wait
a minute. Why why are they pulling
certain people away? Why are they now
adding 70 more witnesses to this? Why
are they doing It's a lot of moving
parts here, and it's all been
orchestrated in the public eye."
Now, his grandma definitely pushes a
punch down there, but at the end of the
day, um this case is going to be
already it's something everybody already
been able to view and voice their
opinion on over 6 years.
So, you don't really know what's going
to happen in there. But one thing I can
rest assured on is Keefe D has been
talking a lot on these interviews, a
lot. I mean, he's been telling people
about the Boosie shooting. He's been
telling people about all kind of stuff
that where he was driving. Why would he
be so involved in this stuff if he
didn't have nothing to do with it? So,
at the end of the day, a lot of people
saying he didn't have a tattoo on his
neck. He did, he didn't. He's not as
tall as the guy that jumped out the car.
You hear all of these stories, but yet
and still, when his time was up in that
federal penitentiary, they locking him
into this Mo Three deal right now to
where he can get caught up in the
situation where they felt like he was
from the very beginning. So, OG all this
you don't know, I do I can tell you this
much it's not going to be hard for Yella
Beezy to see the handwriting on the wall
after this is over. Do you agree with me
on that? He going to understand a little
more what they got on him because of
this K1 going first, right?
>> Of course.
>> So, that's the good part
for me to
for him to see that.
That that hey man, this might not you
know, they don't have this. They got
that. And then the fact that they not
using certain lyrics. There was certain
songs that was way worse that they the
judge decided they weren't even going to
bring them them songs in.
Because
the songs that that the laugh now, all
those songs they they can't bring those
up.
Now, they do got
a couple that where Yella Beezy, you
know, it may have been a little bit in
it but not not nothing like that take
three.
So, all of this stuff starting to filter
down to we been waiting for six years.
But again, it scares me.
It scares me on the fact of how to how
they can wait and then they can come
back and they can still put this stuff
together cuz you always tell me they
ain't no ain't no stat not something
about murder.
It ain't no what do you what do you tell
me about that OG?
>> No statute of limitation.
>> Yeah, it ain't it ain't it ain't now.
So, you can come back 50 years, 100
years.
When it comes to murder.
Huh?
>> I don't care if they did it last year or
they can pull them back up.
>> So, when when it comes down to the the
to the the Mo3 case
and the and and and who was all in this,
there's also other people I feel like
will be pulled into this thing. But
after it's all said and done, you know,
I know having Rain Water over there on
the show he said he can't he got to get
in there and
say his part and say his peace.
He also came up the other day and and
and him and his lawyer done filed a
motion against Yella Beezy to give up
cuz he did that song about money. Now
they want him to give over his jewelry
and to give over his assets
for this lawsuit that that Rain had put
in. So, this thing ain't letting up for
the for for for Yella Beezy, but I
thought it was a lighter note that they
basically
um is now saying, "Hey, man, I ain't
going to let them put certain music in
there. Hey, man, Key Glock white gets to
go first. Hey, man, it's a lot of
hey-manning going on here for this case
for some reason." I can't wait to see
what happened. I think it'll be a uh uh
the bridge for for for the city once
everything is put behind in a few
months. We'll see what the city like
after that. But, I thank God we ain't
like them people on the West Coast or
sorry, the East Coast. We really uh
trying to put this stuff behind us. OG,
I hope you caught that that that
straight I hit you dead in the stomach.
>> [laughter]
>> That was That was a robbery right there.
>> It didn't connect. It didn't connect,
but I
Well, y'all get in the comments, man. I
just want to give y'all a update. Go
ahead.
>> We ain't doing We ain't doing that that
bad as y'all doing with the Big U case.
And that's the biggest catastrophe we
have.
>> No, no, no, no. Y'all got more. Y'all
got more. It's
>> Y'all got more moving parts on
foolishness than I've ever seen this.
This is a shame.
>> That Drakeo the Ruler case is is
definitely heating up right now. So, you
don't want to say that. You got a Drakeo
the Ruler uh case is heating up out
there, and we know it. I just don't
hadn't talked about it much. But, it it
is heating up. It's heating up. It's
heating up.
It's heating up.
>> Yella Yella Beezy is going to court.
>> It's heating up, brother. You know it's
heating up.
I didn't say no names. I'm just telling
you it's heating up from what I see.
>> I say
It's heating up. That's all I'm telling
you. It's heating up out there. And we
will see some stuff come down the pipe.
So, don't even trip. Pipeline coming.
You don't have to worry about it. Y'all
all what Y'all never fail us. Tupac ends
up getting killed on the West Coast.
Biggie from New York ends up getting
killed on the West Coast.
It
We don't have bigger killings as y'all
have up there. So, let's just be real
about it. I'm not going to go back and
forth with you about it. But, y'all have
done some stuff up there. You tore your
own stores up. We know what happened up
there. And there you know, and then you
and y'all smash and grab it all day long
up there. So, when it come down to what
y'all do, you do it a little worse than
us and you know it.
Oh, don't don't try to say scamming, you
know what I'm saying?
>> [laughter]
>> Y'all get in the comments. Let me know
what y'all think, man. Do y'all feel
like it's things are getting a little
bit lighter on y'all because they're
adding 70
uh more people and they're trying to
figure out ways to uh uh
we ain't going to add the music. Is this
getting easier on y'all or is this
getting harder on y'all? Y'all need to
let me know that, guys, right here in in
the in the in the comments. And if y'all
have been watching this young lady from
the Love & Hip Hop show, she just got
