Young Thug’s Attorney Speaks: “[He] Committed No Crime Whatsoever”
Thug’s accused of being involved in racketeering, robbery, obstructing justice, witness intimidation, murder, attacks on law enforcement officers, and more.
Gunna’s involvement is reportedly less serious, although authorities have noted that the rapper has worn pendants, chains, and rapped lyrics about his affiliation with YSL—Young Stoner Life or Young Slime Life. According to prosecutors, YSL is a gang and in a RICO case, if it can be proven that someone is a part of the said gang, they, too, can rack up charges that their associates are responsible for.
We previously reported on the allegations as soon they were made public, but news reporters have since caught up with Young Thug’s lawyer. When asked for a statement, attorney Brian Steel kept things brief.
“I’ll tell you the response to any allegation; Mr. Williams committed no crime whatsoever and we will fight to my last drop of blood to clear him,” said Steel. As far as Gunna is concerned, his lawyer has yet to come forward. However, there have been professionals dissecting the case online. A major mention is the allegations that two YSL associates went to Thug to gain permission for a second murder attempt on YFN Lucci, someone Thugger had beef with in the past.
We’ll continue to keep you updated. Thug is reportedly scheduled to make his first court appearance tomorrow morning at 11:30 a.m. Read through more updates below.
