Dallas rapper Yella Beezy is grieving the recent loss of his mother while navigating a significant legal battle.

On January 18, Beezy took to social media to share a heartfelt tribute to his mother, Kim, who passed away the previous week. Accompanying his post were several photos capturing moments from her life.

“Kim Baby! where do I start?” Beezy wrote in the caption. “My Mama, My Sister, My Best Friend, My World, My Everything…. I’m so empty right now I cant even explain. I wouldn’t wish this pain on my worst enemy…. My BaccBone, My life.”

He continued pouring out his emotions, questioning how to move forward without her presence.

“How I’m supposed to live without you?” he continued. “Who im supposed to talk to everyday? Send reels too? Who I’m supposed to Argue with? It’s been me and you against the world since birth. Can’t nobody go to war about me like you. Take up for me, protect me and my name through it all. God you don’t make mistakes and I’ll never question you, I’m never going against you. Neither will I ever doubt you but I’m hurt and lost and need your strength.”

The devastating loss of Beezy’s mother coincides with his preparations for trial in connection to the 2020 murder of fellow Dallas rapper Mo3.

Prosecutors allege that Beezy hired Kewon White as part of a rivalry that ended in Mo3’s death. The trial was initially set to begin on February 2, but Beezy’s defense team has requested additional time after the state presented a substantial amount of evidence.

A pretrial hearing took place last week, though Beezy was excused from attendance due to his mother’s passing.
