In a disturbing turn of events, a new video of Dallas rapper Yellow Beezy being escorted into jail has gone viral, just days after he was indicted for his alleged involvement in the murder of fellow artist MO3. The shocking footage, aired by WFAA TV, captures the rapper—whose real name is Maris Conway—being led into the Dallas County Jail in handcuffs, appearing subdued as he faces capital murder charges linked to a murder-for-hire plot.
The legal troubles for Yellow Beezy come more than four years after the brutal killing of MO3, who was shot dead on a highway in November 2020. Yellow Beezy was arrested on March 20, 2025, just 48 hours after the Dallas County grand jury issued the indictment. The criminal charges against him suggest that he allegedly hired an individual, Qin White, to execute MO3 in exchange for financial compensation. Following the indictment, Yellow Beezy’s initial bond was set at $2 million, but during a court appearance on March 26, it was reduced to $750,000 after a judge considered testimonies from family members and the evidence presented.
The prosecution has painted a grim picture of the events leading to MO3’s murder, showing footage of White pursuing and shooting the rapper on I35. The state argues that Yellow Beezy poses a threat to public safety and has the means to flee, further complicating his legal situation. The implications of the capital murder charge are severe, with potential penalties including life imprisonment without parole or even the death penalty, should he be convicted.
The viral video has sparked a range of reactions online, with many expressing sorrow over the fate of Black rappers who fall victim to violence and legal troubles. Commenters lamented the loss of promising careers, with one user writing, “Imagine leaving all that money to walk into this place you know you will never leave out of again.” Others pointed out the complexities of the rivalry, suggesting that MO3 was not the innocent victim portrayed in the media, as he had openly bragged about shooting Yellow Beezy in his songs.
The feud between Yellow Beezy and MO3, once friends who rose together in the Dallas rap scene, has been marked by escalating tensions, violent encounters, and tragic outcomes. Their relationship soured around 2017, leading to a series of diss tracks and social media exchanges that fueled animosity. The shooting of comedian Roy Lee, a mutual friend, further intensified the conflict, with allegations that Yellow Beezy was behind the incident. MO3 retaliated with a shooting of his own, and the cycle of violence continued.
As the legal proceedings unfold, the case is drawing significant attention, not only for the tragic loss of life but also for the broader implications it has on the hip-hop community and the ongoing issues of violence and retribution within it. With two other individuals, including Qin White, already facing charges related to MO3’s murder, the developments in Yellow Beezy’s case may reveal even more layers to this tragic saga.
The Dallas rap scene, once marked by collaboration and mutual support, now finds itself grappling with the fallout of these violent confrontations. The community continues to mourn the loss of MO3 while questioning the culture that leads to such senseless acts of violence. As Yellow Beezy prepares to fight the serious charges against him, many are left to wonder what the future holds for him and the legacy of the artists involved.
