ATLANTA — (ATLANTA) -- Atlanta rappers Young Thug and Gunna were hit with gang-related charges in a case that sent shock waves through the music industry and spotlighted the controversial use of rap lyrics as evidence in court.
"[Young Thug] came out of a very desperate situation," Atlanta rapper and activist Killer Mike told"Good Morning America."
Young Thug is also charged with an additional count of participating in street gang activity, according to charging documents obtained by ABC News. "Young Thug -- that's a character that Jeffrey Williams created … but Jeffrey Williams is a father," he said."He's a human being that's capable of love, care and compassion."
Court documents detail instances where individuals allegedly associated with the YSL gang wore or displayed symbols of"YSL" in music videos posted on social media between 2016 and 2021 and rapped lyrics that mention"YSL" and/or various descriptions of criminal activity. "Mr. Williams has committed no violation of law, whatsoever. We will fight this case ethically, legally and zealously. Mr. Williams will be cleared," Young Thug's attorney Brian Steel told ABC News.
