A rat with mice and cheese emojis is what Boosie BadAzz used to call out YSL crew rapper Gunna following his plea deal on the Rico case against him, Young Thug, and other members of the Atlanta crew. Updated by Nadya Nataly (16/12/2022 at 3:14 pm) Along with his “rat” tweet, Boosie included a video […]

It appears as though things may be starting to look up for Young Thug.
After appearing in court for the first time since the release of his fellow YSL crew members Gunna and Walter Murphy yesterday (December 15), he’s receiving some good news.
The pre-trial hearing saw Thug heading one step closer to his hopeful freedom. The Atlanta native and his legal team were successful in getting the judge to dismiss some key evidence from the case.
Some of the information that was allegedly set to be used against the “Best Friend” rapper was actually obtained illegally. In 2015, officers raided the Atlanta native’s home, obtaining evidence from cell phones in the process.
However, a judge later tossed the charges that followed, citing the raid as “unconstitutional.”
The 31-year-old’s lawyer won the appeal by pointing out that the seized devices were actually suppressed by a written order back in 2017. Additionally, they are guilty of failing to return Thugger’s property to him. As a result, the ruling of the evidence is that it’s now inadmissible within the case.
On Wednesday (December 13), the world was witness to Gunna’s official release from jail after taking a plea deal. Following suit, Young Thug’s YSL co-founder, Walter Murphy, is doing the same. He was also granted release earlier this week.
In both deals, they each plead guilty to one charge against them, while ultimately maintaining their innocence. Additionally, the WUNNA rapper’s lawyer has come forward to clear the air surrounding rumors his client snitched in order to get out.
“Gunna did not snitch to get out of jail. He has said nothing and is not cooperating. His plea statement cannot be used in court against any other defendant. So please stop spreading lies!!!” he wrote in an Instagram post.

Although the “Best Friend” rapper remains behind bars, it appears as though this is a positive development in the case.
Do you think we’ll see the release of Young Thug anytime soon? Comment down below. As always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest updates in the trial.
Earlier this week, it was confirmed that Sergio “Gunna” Kitchens would be released from jail after taking an Alford plea to one count of racketeering, which left him with one year time served and the four remaining years being handed as a suspended sentence.
Boosie took to Twitter to condemn Gunna, and says that he’s a “rat”.
Gunna released a statement regarding taking the Alford plea, saying, “I have chosen to end my own RICO case with an Alford plea and end my personal ordeal by publicly acknowledging my association with YSL.” Gunna added, “An Alford plea in my case is the entry of a guilty plea to the one charge against me, which is in my best interest, while at the same time maintaining my innocence toward the same charge.”
Young Thug remains in jail without bond pending the YSL RICO trial, which is scheduled to get underway in January 2023.

Fresh off of getting released from prison, Gunna is already planning to make a difference with an event in Atlanta as he proudly announced his 5th annual Gunna’s Great Giveaway event coming this Sunday. Following his plea deal in the YSL crew RICO case and less than 24 hours since his release, Gunna is hitting […]

It appears as though Gunna isn’t the only one involved in YSL’s RICO case to take a plea deal. Reports indicate that one of the crew’s co-founders, Walter Murhphy has done the same.
As a result, he was subsequently released from jail on Tuesday (December 13). While pleading guilty, Murphy admits to creating YSL with Young Thug 10 years ago, in 2012. Additionally, he pleads guilty to a single count of conspiracy to violate the RICO act.
Court documents allege that his new sentence is 10 years, with only one year commuted to time served and nine years of probation to follow. On the other hand, Gunna’s plea deal saw his sentence turn into five years with one year commuted to time served. The rest includes 500 hours of community service.
Part of the volunteering requires him to speak to young people about the dangers of gangs and gang violence in their communities.
The name of the deal that the WUNNA rapper is agreeing to is reportedly an Alford Plea. While he subsequently pleads guilty to one charge against him, he ultimately maintains his innocence.
As for Murphy, his plea deal includes a special condition in which he is to “testify truthfully in any further trial as it may become necessary,” according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Although these updates appear to be positive, Young Thug unfortunately remains locked up.
On Tuesday (December 13), the “Best Friend” rapper even received additional charges while awaiting the RICO trial. While they’re just misdemeanors for street racing, reckless driving, and speeding, they are still acting as obstacles in the way of his hopeful freedom. At this time, it’s still unknown whether or not Thugger is able to enter a similar deal.

Gunna is home. Authorities released the Atlanta rapper following a turbulent year that found him getting indicted in the YSL RICO case. The rapper copped an Alford plea and was later released from prison.
“I have chosen to end my own RICO case with an Alford plea and end my personal ordeal by publicly acknowledging my association with YSL,” Gunna said in a statement. “An Alford plea in my case is the entry of a guilty plea to the one charge against me, which is in my best interest, while at the same time maintaining my innocence toward the same charge.”
However, it was the video of Gunna in court that had many scratching their heads. Gunna confirmed that he has personal knowledge of YSL’s gang activities in court, though he differentiated YSL the label and YSL the gang.
Ultimately, the news of Gunna’s release was met with mixed reactions. Some were happy that he came home. Others believe that he folded under pressure and inadvertently threw Young Thug under the bus.
Though many welcomed Gunna home, there were a few others who shared a different opinion. Boosie, for example, labeled Gunna a “rat.”
“THIS WOULD HAVE PUT TEARS N MY EYES MY BROTHER , MY ARTIST LIKE WTF IM FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE,” Boosie wrote. “THAT IM NOT RUNNING A GANG/CRIMINALENTERPRIZE N YOU DO THIS TO BIGDOG UKNOW ITS A GANG .. THE GUNS N DRUGS NOT YOURS.. WELL WHO ELSE WAS NTHE CAR THEY CAN BE FOR SMH.”

Freddie Gibbs, on the other hand, didn’t necessarily seem surprised. If you recall, he called out Gunna a few years back for an alleged Crimestoppers commercial, though the ATL rapper denied that he was a rat. However, the feud continued to spiral throughout the year after Gunna’s DS4Ever contained shots at the Gibbs. Today, the Gary, IN native revealed that some people removed their verses from $oul $old $eparately due to his ongoing feud with Gunna.
“It was n***az that took they verse off my album because wunna ain’t like me. I wonder how they feel now,” he wrote before sharing footage of himself rocking out to “Pucci Gown” on stage. “And y’all niggas said I was hatin…welp… Rap full of snitches so y’all gon welcome this n***a home with open arms,” he wrote.
Wack 100 similarly felt as if Gunna told on YSL during a Clubhouse conversation. “He told,” Wack said. “Listen… you’re not pleading guilty to a RICO, and they’re freeing you. He did something.” After someone mentioned that Gunna admitted to YSL being a gang, Wack added, “There go the telling right there. He told.”
Sauce Walka was also someone who came at Gunna. First, he reposted his BET cypher where he rapped over “pushin’ P,” before roasting the rapper for his court appearance. “I feel sorry for Jeffrey,” he wrote.
