Yella Beezy’s Own Friend Took the Stand Against Him — Then Stared Him Down Walking Out of Court

Day eight of Yella Beezy’s murder-for-hire trial delivered one of its most dramatic moments yet — and it came from inside the rapper’s own circle. On Thursday, November 5, Cedric Bradley, a longtime friend and associate of Beezy, took the stand against him, then stared the rapper down as he walked out of the courtroom.

Bradley did not hide why he was talking. Testifying in the trial over the 2020 killing of Dallas rapper Mo3, he told jurors that the street code his crew was supposed to follow had already been broken. “At that time, the code that we were supposed to be sticking to was broken, and everybody else would provide information, so I provided what I did in my best interest,” Bradley said, explaining that where he comes from, the rule was no snitching and no talking to the police — “and that’s what we were supposed to be sticking to.”

His testimony went further than generalities. Bradley confirmed that Markies Conway — Yella Beezy’s legal name — was the defendant in the courtroom, identified him by describing what he was wearing, and told jurors that Kewon White, who was convicted of capital murder for killing Mo3, had confessed to him after the shooting and said he was still waiting to be paid. Then, as video from the courtroom shows, Bradley walked past the defense table, stared Beezy down and smirked as he was escorted out. Bradley himself is facing up to 30 years or more after pleading guilty to federal drug conspiracy and machine gun charges in a separate case.

Jurors also watched a 2019 interview Beezy gave to DJ Vlad, recorded months after he survived a shooting in Dallas believed to have come from Mo3’s crew. Asked whether he would accept an apology from whoever shot him, Beezy was blunt: “I’ma get back my lick back. I don’t give a f**k. Ain’t no walk away.”

Lead investigator Det. Eric Barnes walked jurors through the evidence tracing the years-long feud between Beezy and Mo3, including diss tracks, social media posts and footage of a January 2020 assault on Mo3’s manager, Brandon Rainwater — in one video recorded after the altercation, Beezy could be heard boasting, “I beat him up.” Prosecutors also presented footage of Beezy, co-defendant Jerry Johnson and associate Jose Bodega traveling to Miami on a private jet in October 2020, along with bank records and cell phone data, as part of the state’s timeline leading up to Mo3’s murder in November 2020.

The trial continues, and the courtroom has already made one thing clear: the people closest to this case are no longer staying silent. For a reminder of the record that made Yella Beezy a household name in Dallas and beyond, press play on “That’s On Me” below.
