Young Thug is currently behind bars at Fulton County Jail after he was arrested on Monday (May 9) as part of a 56-count RICO indictment. But according to WSB-TV reporter Michael Seiden, the rapper is facing seven new charges after police conducted a raid at his Buckhead home.
On Wednesday (May 11), Seiden tweeted Thugger was also hit with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, possession of firearm during commission of a felony, possession of sawed-off-shotgun, sawed-off rifle, machine gun, dangerous weapon or silencer and three charges of unlawful participation in criminal gang activity while employed by/associated with a criminal street gang.
Needless to say, it’s not looking good for the platinum-selling artist.
Young Thug and Gunna are among 28 people associated with Young Slime Life (YSL) who were charged in the indictment. Thug’s conspiracy to violate the RICO Act charge stems from an alleged incident in January 2013, while the gang charge is connected to an alleged offense in May 2018. Prosecutors also believe Thug authorized an attempt on YFN Lucci’s life while he was behind bars.

Thugger appeared in court via video on Tuesday (May 10), while Gunna turned himself in on Wednesday morning (May 11).
Thug’s attorney Brian Steel has vowed to clear his client’s name while proclaiming his innocence. Young Thug’s father, Jeffery Williams Sr., echoed those sentiments in a recent interview with WSB-TV, saying, “I think my son has been unfairly linked to a lot of things. But it’s up to us to prove it. I’m gonna fight for him to the end. I’m his father. That’s what I do.”
It’s a wrap for Thugger…smh
People realizing that these new rappers are just fronts for crime syndicates.
moron. money dont by brains
Should Thug and Gunna sit on all of these years that they are facing? Or should they give up something for maybe some leniency?
Then I had beat a few bodies like Boosie…”

I know it’s got to be hurting y’all bad having to report this story about Gunna. He was like the site’s mascot for a while since every other post was about him and now we actually might be able to not hear about him musically ever again. Must pull at the heart strings lol.
What happened to the right to bear arms? It’s illegal to have guns in your home? I should be able to do what I want in my home, If I want to saw my gun in half, I believe I have that right- as long as that gun is in my home.
Now its timé to take a plea to save time and drop federal charge and reduce sentence 5 years state time youll be out in what 2 with parole yall got in georgia half the prison is atl folks you know. Everyone knows gunna was there he wont doing none, just arrested him to talk. Gunna plea either his charges get dropped or pleads guilty to unsupervised probation for he aint do none
these rapper uses they influence the wrong way why promote hate and killings and drugs and disrespecting females that make out kids grow up thinking thats coo, so when something like this happens everyone is looking crazy at each other like what did i do wrong when this music now days influence our kids to promote just as they rap, all you hear now days is kill this kill that, disrespect this dead person to disrespect that dead person then get back this get back. i would’nt trust these kids with a potato gun or as my grand son say these are the children of the future, but they minds are stuck on this crap ass music lock all these rappers up, most of them should be locked up for these weak ass songs they put out .
I never liked his bi sexual ass. But commenting about other people’s lives getting old played out.
RICO charges have over a 98percent conviction rate. Let that sit for a second. These dumbasses across the country want to pretend to be bloods and crops and copy LA shit. The problem is, the charge is the same if they catch your fake ass with guns and dope. Dumbasses. Like some LA nights are going to call themselves Young Slime bullshit, wear a dress and not get smoked.
