This isn’t the first time that fans have noticed Gunna’s newfound slim figure. When he posed for a group photo, earlier this month, he drew comparisons to Gucci, who lost a substantial amount of weight while in prison.

When Gunna first accepted his plea deal, he received tons of backlash online. Fans circulated rumors that he snitched on Young Thug and his YSL associates in doing so. He denied the accusations in a statement at the time. “While I have agreed to always be truthful, I want to make it perfectly clear that I have NOT made any statements, have NOT been interviewed, have NOT cooperated, have NOT agreed to testify or be a witness for or against any party in the case and have absolutely NO intention of being involved in the trial process in any way,” Gunna told WSB-TV. “My focus of YSL was entertainment — rap artists who wrote and performed music that exaggerated and ‘glorified’ urban life in the Black community.”

As for new music from the 29-year-old, he recently told fans to be on the lookout. “I’m OTW,” he wrote alongside his signature P emoji on Instagram. Young Thug also promoted music from Gunna in his Instagram bio, back in April. The move came despite rumors that the two are not happy with one another regarding Gunna’s plea deal.

Young Thug Challenges Evidence In RICO Trial

by

It’s been a wild week in the YSL RICO trial. While the focus was expected to be on Jeffery “Young Thug” Williams, Young Thug was hospitalized twice. The exact cause of Thug’s hospitalization remains unknown. Before that, another defendant was severed from the YSL case after being diagnosed with schizophrenia. Earlier in May, Young Thung’s younger brother was re-arrested after violating the terms of his plea deal.

Finally making it to court, Young Thug sent shockwaves through the case as he and his representatives challenged some crucial evidence in the case. Prosecutors had submitted a recording from a Ring doorbell in connection with a shooting at a house in Atlanta in March 2022. According to police officers, while investigating the shooting, they communicated with someone that they claim is Young Thug. Over a dozen shell casings were recovered from the property, with ten shots reportedly hitting the house.

Young Thug Claims It’s Not Him On The Recording

However, Young Thug’s lawyer Brian Steel is seeking to ban the record, according to AllHipHop. More specifically, Steel wants the recording ruled inadmissible unless the prosecution has a solid basis for positively identifying the voice as Young Thug. Georgia law is deep and complicated when it comes to the use of audio records in court. While it is generally admitted in court, there could be a valid argument for dismissing the evidence if can’t be proven to be the person in question. However, there is an argument to be made for allowing the evidence to be admitted to disprove it in front of a jury. Given Young Thug’s very distinct voice, that could be the way forward.

It’s a wild twist in a case that keeps providing them. Jury selection has reportedly ongoing. However, the jury is yet to be seated as the pre-trial continues to unfold. Defendants continue to be severed and tried separately. What are your thoughts on the case so far? Let us know in the comments below.

Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffrey Williams, caused concern among his fans when he was taken to the hospital. Apparently, his health scare was simply described as a “medical emergency.” News of the rapper’s poor health broke while he was in court on Thursday.

The public was not provided with any specifics about the illness that caused Young Thug to be rushed to the hospital. Still, his lawyer Keith Adams was given permission by Judge Glanville to visit his client in the hospital. The rapper’s legal team had previously requested that he be released on bond.

According to them, he is now “fine” and ready to proceed with the trial. It was reported earlier today, however, that he had made yet another trip to the hospital.

One of the attorneys representing YSL in their RICO trial stated that specific individuals don’t have enough money for representation and that she may start OnlyFans just to survive.

According to WSB-TV, Defense attorney Angela D’Williams is questioning the Georgia Public Defender Council, stating that her work is currently valued at $6 per hour. The state agency appointed her to represent one of the defendants.

“This case is slated to last for about a year, and if you were to do the math, it would be six dollars an hour,” D’Williams said. “I can’t take any new cases. I can’t close any cases. I need something to survive off of. We were under the impression that GPDC was advocating for us, and once they put those walls up, I’m thinking I need to start an OnlyFans.”

In court, D’Williams revealed she wrote the executive director requesting more funds but received a response that she doesn’t need to be met with. Currently, the attorneys are being paid $15,000 for the entire case.

Other developments in the YSL trial include the following:

A juror was arrested for calling the judge a bitch.
An attorney was arrested for having pills in court.
