The YSL RICO Case Unveiled
The YSL RICO case has been of great interest since its inception. Young Thug and fellow Atlanta rapper Gunna was indicted on RICO charges in May 2022, sending shockwaves through the music industry. The case has brought to light allegations of organized crime activities within the YSL rap label, raising questions about the involvement of its members.
Gunna’s acceptance of a plea deal and subsequent release from jail in December 2022 further complicated the situation.
