The news was shared posted to his Twitter and Instagram accounts with the rapper now planning to file a motion for restricted release.

“Melly has tested positive for COVID-19 while awaiting his trial in Broward County Jail. He’ll be filing a motion for restricted release in hopes of better care due to any jails not being prepared to treat this new virus. He hopes for your support and to recover soon,”
