Young Thug will reportedly remain behind bars for the foreseeable future. As reported by WSB-TV Atlanta reporter Michael Seiden, a Fulton County judge has denied bond for the Young Stoner Life founder. Seiden broke the news with a tweet that read simply, “BREAKING: Judge denies bond for Atlanta rapper Young Thug.”
Judge Ural Glanville handed down the ruling Thursday evening (June 2), saying he has significant concerns about Young Thug being both a “danger to the community” and “flight risk.”
Prosecutors allege Young Thug is the co-founder of a “criminal street gang” called YSL responsible for multiple murders, shootings and carjackings over the past decade. They also claim YSL promoted its activities in their music and on social media.
Young Thug, Gunna and 26 other alleged YSL members were indicted on 56 counts last month. Thug was taken into custody on May 9 at his home in Buckhead, an upscale neighborhood outside of Atlanta. Gunna turned himself in two days later after he got his business affairs in order.
Every Update About Young Thug & Gunna's 56-Count Fulton County RICO Case
Young Thug is currently facing several charges, including conspiring to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, murder, armed robbery and participation in criminal street gang activity.
Meanwhile, Gunna is facing one count of conspiracy to violate the RICO Act. The judge explained he denied Gunna’s bond because of worries over potential witness tampering, although he did say Gunna’s attorney can file for a renewed bond in the future.
“Mr. Sergio Kitchens, known as Gunna, is innocent,” Gunna’s legal team 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.”
Young Thug is being held at Cobb County Jail rather than Fulton County Jail, according to inmate records.
He’d murder half of the GayTL in retaliation for him getting locked up and leave the country and go hide out in South America or Africa somewhere. They made the right call.
Thank You. My ears and sanity remain safe.
You portray a lifestyle as authentic and real but when legal masters get involved it’s all just for show……. Aka your rep or street cred. Try making something positive out of your experiences instead of making more music about dealth, drugs & dollars. Plus you flaunt it, like you all do realize there will always be that ONE who will hold you to each word you say. Until you claim fake or entertainment which leads to you being a fraud.
True but at the same time no different or worse when white people promoted all those old cowboy and gangster movies with almost cult like fervor. I’m not a young thug fan,especially since ATL went from real MCs like GoodieMob and Outkast to these lil homos,but what he doing no worse than the government,Iran Contra,Trail of Tears,Slavery,nuclear bombs…they tell us what’s wrong but lie about history,these people are the products of zeitgeist that reflects our corrupt society and now people mad?!
What’s even crazier is that there’s notable people in the music industry calling for his release. Are you serious? This dude and his gang are responsible for over 50 murders and you want him to be released? I will never understand that logic. When black folks make outrageous statements like that, how is any other ethnicity supposed to take that statement seriously? How is anyone supposed to feel safe in a world where notable celebrities with connections in high places want to release someone responsible for over 50 murders? You make me and the rest of the world understand that without being a bitch about it.
has he ben found guilty yet…..he or anyone in the case has not ben charged with 50 killings
I think he meant phonetically
You can’t be gay…..and act gangsta at the same time. They ain’t going to ever let that slide. He’ll even gay ass coward Diddy knows when to draw the line and tone it down a separate the two. What’s even worse is than he’s already got a well known experienced informant in his camp. (TSGUNNA and her previous Crime Stoppers snitching she did already before) She definitely going to tell this time. I’d put money on that.
You’ve obviously never heard of the Krays. One was gayer than your weirdo closeted fantasies. That’s REALLY gay.
I agree, for more than 12 years we’ve been tormented by that volatile noise he calls music and has spread his tone deaf, bad fashion sense, and homosexual tendencies into not only the music industry but also all of Atlanta. He is a big reason why hip hop no longer has originality, content,soul, our even a specified gender any more. The Feds are actually doing something useful by taking him off the street because he was the genesis for all of this happening in the first place so it would definitely set an example as well as our a stop to the filth that’s been coming out of Atlanta. Migos and Future best beware too. Go Feds
Man, Feds having a field day catching rappers in the Rico net – catching a big fish with the regulars
And not just any rappers but WACK rappers who should’ve never been allowed in the game in the first place.
we have our own young thug to deal with around here.
You mean YoungButtPlugga
I agree his music is trash.
Dude likes wearing a dress he will be wearing that red kool aid on his lips dude is going to be in seg. housing all that thug talk is out the window wack ass rappers people actually pay to listen to this crap his whole crew was wack dude could have pulled some Wu Tang move and elevated the industry but wanted to be a thug wanksta now he got his ass RICO you can tell by that frighten look on his face he isn’t built to do time.
Nah. He wasn’t transcending the industry. Music was weirdo rap/singing/mumbling.
That’s why they was running the criminal enterprises in the first place.
Wearing tight pants. Kissing they homies and gang banging smh. Shit makes no sense.
take his music down from YouTube when he gets the nail in the coffin. can’t be profiting off his crimes. b ich azz tried to kill lil Wayne. fk you.

So the judge already thinks he’s guilty
this guy is never getting out of jail. book it- no way he can plead out of such serious felonies with the evidence they already have. gunna will be out by the end of the year
