Mello Buckzz Reportedly Gets Two-Year Prison Term In Amari Blaze Case

Mello Buckzz reportedly received a two-year prison sentence on October 22 after admitting she violated probation in the battery case involving fellow Chicago rapper Amari Blaze.

Judge Patrick K. Coughlin resentenced the rapper, whose legal name is Melanie U. Doyle, in Cook County, according to a published account of the court records. The report said she received 197 days of credit for time already served. Her sentence also included six months of mandatory supervised release after prison.

She was first sentenced to probation. The Chicago Sun-Times reported that Mello pleaded guilty on April 17, 2025, received 30 months of probation and was ordered to stay away from Amari.

The two had once shared a record, not a court case. Amari appeared with Kashh Mir and Moni da G on “Mouskatool.” Mello also gained national attention through her Latto collaboration, “Boom Pt. 2.”

Their October 2023 clash in Calumet Park led to felony charges of aggravated battery causing great bodily harm and aggravated battery in a public place. The Sun-Times reported that court filings accused Mello of punching Amari in the face and causing her to fall through a window. The reported injuries included a broken nose and a hand wound that required tendon surgery. Her attorney, Edward L. Speights, had argued that she acted in self-defense.

A separate June 15 arrest brought a gun charge. ABC7 Chicago’s report below covered that earlier traffic stop, not the October sentencing.

Police stopped her Mercedes over an allegedly illegal windshield tint. Officers said they found a gun beneath the driver’s seat, suspected marijuana in her purse and an open bottle of alcohol inside the vehicle.

ABC7 reported that prosecutors accused her of lacking a valid Firearm Owner’s Identification card. She was charged with a felony weapons offense and two misdemeanor counts of resisting or obstructing an officer, along with traffic-related citations.

The sentencing report referenced an October 26 entry in the gun case indicating a sentence would run alongside the battery sentence. It did not establish the gun case’s full outcome or identify the conduct behind the probation violation.

An exact release date was not established in that report.
