Authorities allege that Yella Beezy, whose real name is Maris Conway, was not just a bystander but the mastermind behind the murder plot, hiring an associate named Quan White to carry out the hit. Prosecutors claim that the friendship depicted in the video masked a deeper betrayal, suggesting that the relationship soured into deadly rivalry over the years. Tensions between the two rappers escalated after various incidents, including a physical altercation involving Mo3’s manager and a series of diss tracks aimed at each other.
