Well, new reports from TMZ has confirmed that Melly’s condition has further deteriorated to the point where it sounds especially dire. Citing legal documents from Melly’s attorney Bradford Cohen, it’s said that the young rapper has been experiencing “severe chills, heavy labored breathing, headaches, and body aches,” all while weighing a mere 114 pounds.

The situation is made worse by the fact that Melly hasn’t been receiving proper attention from medical staff, who are said to be underprepared to begin with.

“They have not given them masks, or cleaning supplies that would be beneficial regarding his recovery,” writes Cohen’s legal letter. “This is against all recommendations of the Surgeon General and CDC.” As such, the team is moving for Melly to be placed on house arrest as to better mend his ailing condition, which TMZ warns is running the risk of proving fatal.
