The trial of Dallas rapper Yella Beezy, born Makies Conway, for his alleged involvement in the 2020 murder of fellow artist Mo3, is scheduled to commence early next month.

Nearly a year has passed since Beezy was arrested and charged with capital murder, accused of hiring a hitman to carry out the crime. His trial date is set for February 2, with a pretrial hearing planned for January 16.

Ahead of the trial, Beezy’s legal team is working through a vast amount of evidence presented by the prosecution, reportedly amounting to around 16 terabytes of data. This includes an additional 125 gigabytes of evidence shared as recently as December 2025.

On January 7, Beezy’s attorneys filed a motion requesting the court compel the prosecution to specify which pieces of evidence will be used during the trial. According to the defense’s filing, a significant portion of the material is unrelated to the case against Beezy.

“Much of the discovery has no relation to Conway,” the filing reads.

“This discovery isn’t material to the outcome of the case. Nor has it revealed any new or relevant facts about the case. There’re audit files, jail calls, and many other files that aren’t relevant to the case. There’re video files where many minutes pass and nothing happens. There’re numerous video files and other data showing or describing the same event that are duplicative. Some files aren’t labeled in a way that reveals their content and are labeled with numbers that have no meaning to the defense.”

Beezy was initially taken into custody last March, accused of orchestrating the murder by allegedly hiring Kewon White to kill Mo3 due to an ongoing feud between the two artists.

He was initially held on a $2 million bond, which was later reduced to $750,000. After posting bail several weeks following his arrest, Beezy has been out on bond while awaiting trial.
