Prosecutors reportedly also alleged that two YSL associates sought Young Thug’s permission to make a second murder attempt on YFN Lucci.

Les artistes Young Thug et Gunna dans le viseur de la justice. De son côté, Gunna a été accusé de conspiration par les forces de l’ordre américaines pour avoir tenté de violer la loi RICO visant à lutter contre le crime organisé dans le pays.

Ce lundi, les deux rappeurs Young Thug et Gunna ont été arrêtés avec plus d'une vingtaine de proches dans le cadre d'une enquête sur le crime organisé.

D’ailleurs, dans les commentaires, nombreux sont ceux qui ont tenté de le dénoncer auprès des autorités.

Young Thug, birth name Jeffery Lamar Williams, was arrested in Atlanta on May 9.

The indictment claims Williams is one of the three founding members of YSL or “Young Slime Life,” a rap collective that the court alleges operates as a guise for a Bloods-affiliated gang. “Mr. Williams has committed no violation of law, whatsoever. The “Pushin P” rapper has not been booked yet.

Over the last decade, the Atlanta rapper Young Thug has dropped a steady barrage of tracks about pistols and snipers, mob life and gangsters.

A Black Democrat who was elected in 2020 and swiftly found herself in the center of the firestorm over whether former President Trump and his associates committed election fraud in Georgia, Willis has consistently said her number one focus is targeting gangs. “However, the 1st Amendment does not protect people from prosecutors using it as evidence if it is such,” she said. “These artists often express dramatizations of stories and events that persist in their communities,” he said. After spending two years in jail, Drakeo was acquitted of the murder charge and later released on a plea deal. The indictment charges Williams with renting a silver Infiniti Q50 sedan that was used in the commission of Donovan’s murder. Then they have to demonstrate that those crimes were carried out by two or more people as part of a broader enterprise of racketeering activity that the defendant controlled or was employed by. “The indictment is frivolous,” he said. Under RICO, a complicated statute closely modeled on the 1970 federal law that was used to convict top mobsters and gangsters who engaged in organized crime, a defendant need not have committed a crime to be found guilty. Mr. Williams will be cleared of any wrongdoing.” “It does not matter what your notoriety is, what your fame is,” she said. They also shot at the tour bus of Dwayne Carter, Jr., the New Orleans hip-hop star also known as Lil Wayne. On Monday, Georgia prosecutors arrested Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Lamar Williams, on felony charges of participating in gang activity and violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) statute.

The Atlanta-based singer is one of more than 20 people indicted on conspiracy and street gang charges.
