With Gunna, unfortunately, remaining behind bars for the foreseeable future, he needs all of the support he can get from the outside world.
Gunna and Young Thug’s incarceration has clearly been weighing heavily on artists in the rap family like Roddy Ricch, who posted an uplifting message on his Instagram Story on Friday (May 27).
“Free @gunna we miss you out here champ Moms praying 4 u,” he wrote.
The Compton native and the YSL rapper have collaborated on numerous occasions in the past as they teamed up on tracks such as “Start Wit Me,” “Don’t I,” “COOLER THAN A BITCH” and the “Too Easy” remix.
Gunna was arrested alongside Young Thug and 26 other YSL affiliates as part of an 88-page and 56-count indictment. The 28-year-old is facing one count of conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act.
Prosecutors allege that the “Pushin P” rapper is a “documented gang member” and he and Young Thug were calling shots for YSL.
Gunna was denied bond on May 23 and his trial has been set for January 9, 2023. The judge explained he denied the “Pushin P” rapper’s bond because of worries over potential witness tampering. Gunna’s legal team is maintaining his innocence in the case.
“Mr. Sergio Kitchens, known as Gunna, is innocent,” Gunna’s attorneys told TMZ. “The indictment falsely portrays his music as part of a criminal conspiracy. Mr. Kitchens has been an advocate for his community, and it is our privilege to advocate for him.”
N****, Shut Up.
All you autotune, mumble cRappers should be scared right now cuz the Feds are finally doing something good for a change and cleaning up the airwaves and streets of this garbage along with NYC Drill.
I dont understand how either of these guys got so popular overnight. Gunna used to carry Lil Wayne’s bags when Young Money came out almost 15 years ago. Why bring him back now ? I thought Gen Z fans hate old rappers ? And young Thug used to be the guy nobody wanted to collab with cuz he wears dresses and calls his homeboys “boo”. Now all of a sudden everyone is screaming Free Thugga like if he was Tupac. What gives ?
They’re in prison. They can be as free as they want to be in there. They’re free to be as gay as they want. They can enjoy the Pushing P lifestyle to the fullest.
Gunna NEVER carried Wayne bags or was around Wayne. You thinking about Gudda Gudda. Log Off
Oh, they gotta let him out now; Roddy Rich said something…
