What Is Fredo Bang Talking About?

Fredo is likely referring to Florida's Broward County Assistant State Attorney Kristine Bradley, who alleges that Melly committed the murders of fellow YNW Collective rappers YNW Juvy (born Christopher Thomas Jr.) and YNW SakChaser (born Anthony Williams) on Oct. 26, 2018. The prosecution has been trying to serve Fred a subpoena for three years to no avail.

Additionally, in documents obtained by XXL earlier this month, the prosecution stated that Fredo declined to answer certain questions related to the case based on attorney-client privilege and his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Court records show that the State even offered Fredo immunity from prosecution in Florida if he were to divulge what he knows about the case, but he refused it.

On June 6, Judge Andrew L. Siegel denied the prosecution's motion to force Fredo, born Fredrick Givens, to answer questions about the case. It's unknown if the 27-year-old rapper will appear in the ongoing YNW Melly Trial.

Currently, the jury is on a week-long recess; the YNW Melly is trial will resume on July 10.
