At least three rappers were among 28 indicted on RICO and gun charges in Georgia.
ATLANTA -- The Atlanta rapper Young Thug was one of 28 people indicted Monday in Georgia on conspiracy to violate the state's RICO act and street gang charges, according to jail records.
The Atlanta rapper, whose name is Jeffrey Lamar Williams, was arrested at his home in Buckhead, an Atlanta neighborhood just north of downtown. He is being held at the Fulton County Jail.Young Thug is allegedly one of three founders of the Young Slime Life,"a criminal street gang that started in late 2012" in Atlanta, the indictment says. YSL is affiliated with the national Bloods gang, officials said.
Young Thug's lawyer Brian Steel told local media that,"Mr. Williams committed no crime whatsoever" and that he would"fight till his last drop of blood to clear him."Also indicted on Monday were Atlanta rapper Gunna, whose real name is Sergio Kitchens, and aspiring rapper Christian Eppinger, who was already in jail, accused of shooting an Atlanta police officer six times in February.
In April 2021 Young Thug and Gunna posted bail for 30 low-level inmates who were unable to afford the costs themselves. Young Thug's record label has been called YSL Records or Young Stoner Life Records. The label refers to its artists as part of the"Slime Family," and a compilation album called"Slime Language 2" hit No. 1 on the charts in April 2021.
