He was blunt about all of it to say the least and we’ve to say the info are the info. However we’ve to ask, does anybody actually care whether or not he did or didn’t? Anyhow, let’s preserve unpacking …
Let’s recap the YSL RICO Case and Gunna’s state of affairs
Gunna, born Sergio Giavanni Kitchens, turned a focus of the YSL (Younger Slime Life) RICO trial when he took an Alford plea in December 2022, after spending 8 months in jail.

I used to be Gunna’s lawyer however I’m NOT talking on his behalf. This lengthy submit is solely to set out the reality. Gunna did NOT cooperate, and did NOTHING and mentioned NOTHING to trigger hurt to Thug’s case. He spent 8 months in jail and was launched in Dec. 2022 after coming into an Alford…

Whereas Gunna was capable of transfer ahead along with his profession, performing internationally and incomes hundreds of thousands, Younger Thug spent over two years in jail, in the end pleading responsible to lesser costs and being sentenced to fifteen years of probation with reporting circumstances. Sadow made it clear that Gunna’s resolution to take the plea didn’t affect Thug’s case, noting, “Gunna did NOT cooperate, and did NOTHING and mentioned NOTHING to trigger hurt to Thug’s case.”
Love the road guidelines and the dry-snitched feedback. Oh the pretend outrage, standard s**t. Each had been charged with RICO. Each confronted 20 yrs in jail. Each pled to RICO. Regardless, I am greater than keen to just accept the blame for the nice deal.
