Chicago drill rapper Mello Buckzz, legal name Melanie Doyle, was resentenced to two years in prison on October 22 after admitting she violated probation in the battery case involving fellow Chicago rapper Amari Blaze, according to a published account of Cook County court records reported by AllHipHop. Judge Patrick K. Coughlin gave her credit for 197 days already served, plus six months of mandatory supervised release.

Mello was first sentenced to 30 months of probation after pleading guilty in April 2025 over an October 2023 fight in Calumet Park, where court filings accused her of punching Amari Blaze in the face and causing her to fall through a window. Her attorney had argued self-defense.

A separate June 15, 2026 traffic stop, the bodycam that went viral last week, led to a felony gun charge after police said they found a gun under her seat. An October 26 entry in that case indicates its sentence will run alongside the battery sentence. The report did not establish the gun case's full outcome or what conduct triggered the violation.

Mello addressed it herself on Facebook: "Just took my time 2 years at 50% I'll be back sooner than you think," signing off with #FreeTheThickesttt. No exact release date has been made public.
