What are your first thoughts on Gunna’s new album The Last Wun?

YNW Melly's double-murder retrial has been postponed once again, NBC 6 South Florida reports. During a hearing on Friday (Aug. 8), the 4th District Court of Appeals granted a stay in the case, allowing time to consider a motion by the state attorney’s office. The stay means the trial will not begin in September and has now been pushed back to January of 2027. Melly has been in custody since 2019, when he was arrested for the 2018 murders of his childhood friends Chris "YNW Juvy" Thomas and Anthony "YNW Sakchaser" Williams. The first trial in 2023 ended in a mistrial. The retrial was first scheduled to begin in March of 2024, but has been pushed back multiple times due to numerous motions being filed on both sides. The Florida rapper could face the death penalty if found guilty. XXL has reached out to YNW Melly's attorney for comment.
