"@BOOSIEOFFICIAL, supporting @YNWMelly, is annoyed by the man sitting next to him sleeping during testimony," Paul tweeted. "Boosie was on trial and found not guilty of murder in 2012. He offered defense information to Melly in 2019."

In April of 2019, thee months after Melly was charged with two counts of first-degree murder for the shooting deaths of his friends, he hired Boosie's former attorney Jason Rogers Williams, who represented Boosie during his murder trial.

Boosie's Thoughts on the YNW Melly Murder Trial

During a June interview with XXL, Boosie spoke about Melly's case.

"I’m going to his trial to support him," Boosie said. "I talked to his mom the other night. I’m going to support Melly. I was on a plane with Melly one day in the airport with him. We was in the airport, and he took his credit card out. He ain’t let me buy nothing, bro. He bought all my food, my magazines. All through the airport he like, 'OG, you ain’t spending no money.' So, I’m going to support that little n***a, dawg."

Look out for the rest of the interview in the upcoming issue of XXL.
