YNW Melly tried to pull a Tekashi 6ix9ine and get released from jail on COVID concerns.

Melly, who's awaiting trial for double murder, was denied even though he has the coronavirus and is said to be close to death.

Melly is being treated with Tylenol and Gatorade.  Prison officials say if an inmate shows acute symptoms of COVID they are transferred to a hospital facility.  Melly has yet to be transferred.

Now he's appealing to Kanye West for help.

"@kanyewest need your help Dm," Melly typed.

It would seem like Melly wants Kanye to try to get his good friend Donald Trump involved.  

That seems a longshot. Especially since the families of Melly's alleged murder victims oppose his release.
