Rapper Yella Beezy, whose legal name is Markies Conway, has recently been granted permission by a Dallas County judge to leave house arrest one day per week for up to five hours to record music in a studio.
The change to the infamous rapper’s house arrest limitations was announced earlier this week, after Complex Magazine obtained a collection of new court documents on November 9.
The adjustment to his bond conditions comes as Conway prepares for his trial on capital murder charges scheduled for February 2026. These charges stem from the brazen murder of rapper Mo3, which occurred in broad daylight on Highway I-35 in November 2020.
Dallas County Judge Chika Anyiam approved the modification, allowing Conway to leave his house and visit recording studios; however, the judge imposed some limitations: no drugs, no weapons, and no contact with any “protected individuals.”
Conway, 33, has remained under house arrest since posting a reduced $750,000 bond following his March 18, 2025, indictment by a grand jury, as previously reported by The Dallas Express. The murder case is currently scheduled for a February 2, 2026, trial date.
Prosecutors allege that Conway organized a murder-for-hire plot, hiring a man named Kewon Dontrell White to kill Mo3, whose real name was Melvin Noble, after the rapper’s very public, longstanding feud. The indictment followed investigators’ claims of financial connections, including Conway’s withdrawal of $40,000 in cash shortly before the shooting.
Mo3 was killed on November 11, 2020, in a midday ambush on Interstate 35 in Dallas. According to the police, White, wearing a ski mask, approached Mo3’s vehicle in the middle of the highway, prompting the rapper to get out of his car on the highway before being shot multiple times in the back.
A bystander was also injured in the shooting but survived.
White was arrested in December 2020 and is currently serving a nine-year sentence on federal gun charges. He faces separate state charges related to the murder. A second individual, Devin Maurice Brown, was indicted on federal gun and drug charges but has since denied involvement in the killing.
Conway has pleaded not guilty to the capital murder charge, which carries the possibility of the death penalty under Texas law.
Prior to the murder-for-hire allegations, Conway faced unrelated charges in 2021, including sexual assault, on top of his other past charges for weapons and drug offenses.
