The rapper’s attorney previously stated: “Any party can announce, for example, that Abraham Lincoln is on their witness list, but those words alone are meaningless. So, to be 100 percent clear, Rayshawn Bennett (YFN Lucci) will not be a witness in the YSL case.”
YFN Lucci became involved in the case after it was alleged that Young Thug ordered a hit on the rapper, who was stabbed in jail in 2022. Two YSL affiliates were allegedly behind the attack.

Lucci later commented on his refusal to testify: “Even in a earthquake we wouldnt break n-gga know we solid #Free650.”
Lucci joins Gunna on the list of famous faces who will not be appearing in court during the high-profile trial.
There were originally over 700 witnesses set to be called to the stand by the prosecution but that number has been whittled down on orders of the judge.
Lil Wayne and Thugger’s brother Unfook were also potential witnesses who had their names removed from the list.

Birdman could still be called to testify in the trial, while Thug’s former collaborator Rich Homie Quan has been subpoenaed by the prosecution.
According to social media user ThuggerDaily, Quan has previously given a police statement that will be read in court. However, he will not necessarily provide evidence against Thug during his turn on the witness stand.

Thug faces eight charges in the case, including conspiracy to violate the RICO Act and two counts of participation in criminal street gang activity, along with multiple drug and weapons offenses.
