YNW Melly’s Associate YNW Bortlen Arrested, Accused of Witness TamperingIn a recent development that has sent shockwaves through the music world, YNW Bortlen, an associate of YNW Melly, who himself is facing trial for two counts of first-degree murder, found himself in hot water once again as he was apprehended in Miami-Dade County on Monday. This arrest comes on the heels of a warrant that accuses Bortlen of witness tampering, as per reports from TMZ and the South Florida Sun Sentinel.For those unfamiliar, YNW Bortlen, whose real name is Cortlen Henry, had previously been granted bond and released in 2020. However, one of the stringent conditions of his release was the prohibition from contacting witnesses in the ongoing case. The latest twist in this legal saga emerged from an accusation made by the mother of a key witness involved in the cases of both Melly and Bortlen. The warrant alleges that Henry had stated to [Melly’s girlfriend], if she was more loyal, she would be driving a pink BMW, going on to emphasize that it was made clear that if [she] does not cooperate with the criminal case, she would have been rewarded.To provide some context, Melly and Bortlen stand accused of the grave charges of shooting and killing YNW Juvy and YNW Sakchaser back in 2018. Earlier this year, Melly faced trial, but the outcome was far from conclusive as the jury failed to reach a unanimous decision after three days of deliberation. Consequently, the presiding judge declared a mistrial on July 22, leaving the possibility of a death sentence hanging over Melly’s head. As of now, Melly is gearing up for a retrial scheduled for this month, while Bortlen’s trial is slated to commence in January.As the music world and legal experts closely monitor these unfolding events, Newsound has reached out to Bortlen’s legal counsel and the Miami-Dade Police Department for their perspectives on this latest chapter in the ongoing saga. Stay tuned for more updates on this gripping story that continues to captivate audiences and raise questions about the intersection of fame, crime, and justice in the world of music.
