Rapper Young Thug, accused by prosecutors of co-founding a criminal street gang responsible for violent crimes and using his songs and social media to promote it, is set to go to trial starting Monday.

The August indictment accuses Young Thug of racketeering conspiracy and participation in criminal street gang activity, as well as drug and gun charges.

Attached to that filing were letters from more than a dozen music industry executives who have worked with Young Thug. They describe him as one of the most successful hip-hop artists in the world, a dedicated father and friend, a generous contributor to his community and a nurturing mentor to other artists.

In court, before the judge accepted the plea, when a prosecutor said that YSL is a music label and a gang and that Gunna had knowledge that its members or associates had committed crimes in furtherance of the gang, Gunna responded, “Yes, ma’am.”

Culture

A rapper involved in criminal activity. Shocking

THE STATE IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED THUSFORTHLY THIS IS WAR CRIMES TRIBUNAL TIMES THEY WILL DO ANYTHING TO SLANDER OR SWAY PUBLIC OPINION

Well, he did call himself out for being a thug. Taking pride in or promoting the status of criminality will only ever end in one of two places. Look like a thug, talk like a thug, behave like a thug, you are a thug.

With a name like Young Thug, I’m totally shocked.

Say it ain’t so

What’s wrong with people these days? Makes you wonder if they had any parenting at all.

What an unimaginative moniker.

They are still doing jury selection which should last at least a month.

Any who is surprised by this? Anyone?

You can't make this stuff up, folks.

Wonder when Elons racketeering trial starts? Interested in learning what it's actually about, then simply just Google 'Dogecoin Racketeering' and enjoy.

It's always the ones you don't suspect.

His name says it all! 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Why is he dressed like a bowl of peppermint ice cream?

Old Dirt

Gangsters dress diffrent then they did in my day (90s) 😂

Isn’t everyone a “rapper” now?

First all white Atlanta jury?

Im shocked! Said no one

Nominative Determinism

Free him
