Yella Beezy Witness Pressed Over Response Plan After MO3 Killing
Originally published by AllHipHop Read the original
Yella Beezy‘s first defense witness read texts about plans for his response on the day MO3 was killed. A prosecutor pressed her on why she felt he needed one.
Lynn Scott, who worked in marketing at his label Hitco in 2020, took the stand in Dallas on November 9. Court reporter Meghann Cuniff posted footage of the hearing, where Scott faced questions about her texts after the shooting.
Yella Beezy, born Markies Conway, pleaded not guilty to capital murder and denied a role in MO3’s death. Prosecutors accused him of paying Kewon White to kill the rapper, born Melvin Noble.
Scott said she was in California with Yella Beezy on November 11, 2020, the day MO3 was killed on Interstate 35E in Dallas. Asked if she could recall texts about a response that day, she said, “No, I don’t remember.”
The prosecutor showed her a group text from Yella Beezy’s iCloud account. Scott said the phone number was hers and agreed that she had sent the texts. She read a text sent that afternoon: “We need to hop on a call to strategize messaging around what just happened in Dallas.”
She read a second text: “We need to have him craft a response.”
Asked if police had been in touch with her by then about any role Yella Beezy had in the killing, she said no. She also said he had not spoken to her that day about hiring White to kill MO3.
Pressed on the need for a response plan, Scott said she thought they should be prepared.
The state had rested its case before Scott took the stand. Judge Chika Anyiam denied the defense’s request to dismiss the charge for lack of evidence.
Earlier in the trial, Jose Bodega, Yella Beezy’s childhood friend, recanted his grand jury account. On November 2, he told jurors he made up his claim that the rapper wanted MO3 dead.
Judge Anyiam let jurors use the earlier account to weigh whether Bodega had told the truth. It could not serve as proof that the claimed plot took place.
White was found guilty in his own trial on September 4, 2026 and sentenced to life without parole.
