56 COUNTS??

Everyone’s buzzing over Young Thug and Gunna being named in a 56-count federal indictment along with other affiliates of Thug’s YSL (Young Stoner Life) label in an unexpected development fueling all sorts of shenanigans across social media.

Both rappers are accused of conspiring to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act with one of the allegations being that Young Thug rented a car from Hertz that authorities claim was used to murder alleged rival gang member Donovan Thomas in 2015.

The other allegation is that two men associated with YSL were working to get permission from Young Thug to make a second attempt to murder YFN Lucci while he is in jail for his own indictment.

While Young Thug was arrested, Gunna reportedly hasn’t been taken into custody. Several other well-known YSL rappers were also arrested including Slimelife Shawty, Yak Gotti, and Unfoonk.

Fulton County DA Fani Willis addressed the serious charges against the rappers in a press conference this afternoon.

“It is my opinion that violence in our communities deserves maximum penalties”

As expected, Thugger’s lawyer Brian Steel insisted that the rapper is innocent in a statement to NBC News.

“Mr. Williams has committed no violation of law, whatsoever. We will fight this case ethically, legally and zealously. Mr. Williams will be cleared,” said Steel.

Her later reiterated Thug’s innocence in a statement to local ABC affiliate WSB-TV.

“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,” Steel stated.
