The Dallas rapper’s conviction in MO3’s murder has been followed by renewed scrutiny of his finances, including a civil judgment tied to a separate assault lawsuit.
Yella Beezy’s legal troubles are taking another turn — and this time, the spotlight is on his money.
Just days after a Dallas County jury convicted the rapper, born Markies Conway, of capital murder in connection with the 2020 killing of fellow Dallas artist MO3, new attention is turning to a separate civil judgment that could put his music income and personal assets at risk.
A Life Sentence in the MO3 Murder Case
On November 11, 2026 — exactly six years after MO3, born Melvin Noble, was killed — a Dallas County jury unanimously found Beezy guilty of capital murder.
Prosecutors argued that Beezy orchestrated and financed a murder-for-hire plot, allegedly paying gunman Kewon White $40,000 to kill MO3 amid a yearslong dispute between the two rappers.
MO3 was fatally shot after being chased on Interstate 35 in Dallas. White was previously convicted of capital murder and sentenced to life without parole.
Beezy received the same sentence: life in prison without the possibility of parole.
His defense team disputed the prosecution’s evidence, and attorney Toby Shook announced plans to appeal the conviction.
The Separate Civil Judgment That Could Cost Him
The financial story involves Brandon Rainwater, MO3’s former manager, who filed a civil lawsuit against Beezy and V Live Dallas following an alleged January 2020 assault outside the Dallas nightclub.
The dispute is separate from the murder case.
Rainwater’s lawsuit resulted in a civil judgment, and recent reporting indicates he is pursuing Beezy’s assets to satisfy the financial award.
Those assets reportedly include:
Music royalties and other recurring music income
Cash and financial accounts
Vehicles and personal property
Jewelry and other valuable items
The reported effort to reach Beezy’s music royalties is particularly significant because those payments can continue generating income even when an artist is no longer performing or releasing music.
The potential asset recovery is tied to Rainwater’s civil judgment — not a court award to MO3’s estate or his children.
Is Yella Beezy’s House Facing Foreclosure?
Reports and online discussions have also raised questions about the status of Beezy’s home and whether the property is facing foreclosure.
However, I could not independently verify an active foreclosure filing or scheduled foreclosure sale through reliable reporting or a confirmed property record. The home’s status should therefore be treated as unconfirmed rather than reported as a completed foreclosure action.
What Happens Next?
Beezy’s criminal conviction and the separate civil collection effort could have lasting financial consequences.
His defense plans to challenge the murder conviction through the appeals process, while Rainwater’s efforts to collect on the civil judgment could put additional pressure on Beezy’s financial interests.
For the music industry, the case also raises a broader question: how vulnerable are an artist’s royalties, intellectual property income and personal assets when major legal judgments come into play?
One thing is clear: the consequences surrounding Yella Beezy’s legal battles may extend far beyond the courtroom.
