Young Thug And Gunna Indictment Highlights The Use Of Rap Lyrics As Evidence In Court

Young Thug was not granted bail and will remain in Fulton County Jail for the foreseeable future. After his arrest in May on accusations of conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) Act alongside 26 other YSL associates, including Gunna.

After digging deeper into the 56-count indictment, ABC News discovered that various Thugger tracks and lyrics from 2016 to 2021 are being cited and used against him as evidence in the case. Among the Thug songs are “Anybody,” “Take it to Trial,” “Ski” featuring Gunna and “Slatty.”

The prosecution is justifying its use of lyrics in court, claiming that Thug’s statements are “preserving, protecting and enhancing the reputation, power, and territory of the enterprise [YSL].”

Fani Willis, the Fulton County District Attorney, believes YSL is directly responsible for “over 50” homicides caused by gun violence since 2015.

Thugger’s “Slatty” verse, in which he raps, is widely highlighted in the indictment. “I killed his man in front of his momma, like fuck lil’ bruh, sister and his cousin/I shoot out/Kill ’em, not leaving a trace.”

Young Thug’s attorneys will make their bond arguments in court on June 2. Prosecutors have also filed a motion to remove Thug’s lawyer, Brian Steel, from the case due to an alleged conflict of interest.

Gunna Surrenders To Authorities After The YSL Indictment

Gunna, Young Thug, and 26 other people indicted on RICO charges. Gunna is currently in police detention, according to CBS46, after his name appeared in the 56-count indictment. Gunna, whose true name is Sergio Kitchens, faces a charge with one count of RICO conspiracy.

According to Complex, Gunna’s name appeared in the RICO indictment against YSL on five different counts. They said he committed criminal drug possession with the intent to distribute (methamphetamine, marijuana, and hydrocodone). Gunna was also charged with stealing and receiving stolen stuff. The allegations’ merits, on the other hand, are mostly based on social media activities, such as the rapper wearing a YSL chain and promoting the brand on social media.

Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis warned during a press conference on Tuesday that members of street gangs will face criminal charges.

“As the District Attorney of Fulton County my number one focus is targeting gangs, and there’s a reason for that, they are committing conservatively 75 to 80% of all of the violent crime that we are seeing within our community and so they have to be rooted out of our community,” she stated. “It does not matter what your notoriety is, what your fame is if you come to Fulton County Georgia and you commit crimes, and certainly if those crimes are in furtherance of street gangs that you are going to become a target and a focus of this district attorney’s office, and we are going to prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law.”

Young Thug’s Attorney Defends His Client

Young Thug and Gunna are reportedly two of the 28 suspects mentioned in a Fulton County, Georgia indictment. According to WSB-TV, the allegations include conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, murder, armed robbery, and involvement in criminal street gang activity.

While Gunna’s situation is not as terrible as Thugger’s, he will still face a legal struggle whenever he got apprehended. Young Thug, on the other hand, is already in custody at the Fulton County Jail, only hours after the Feds raided his home. Young Thug’s lawyer, though, claims that his client has done nothing illegal. Brian Steel, speaking to WSB-TV, defended his client.

“I’ll tell you the response to any allegation; Mr. Williams committed no crime whatsoever,” Steel stated. “And we will fight to my last drop of blood to clear him.”

Young Thug received an accusation of participating in street gang activities and conspiring to violate the RICO Act, according to the indictment. But Gunna received an accusation of conspiring to violate the RICO Act.

“YSL is a criminal street gang that started in late 2012 in the Cleveland Avenue area of ATL,” according to the document. However, it relates to the national Bloods group.
