Tony Yayo Explains Why He Thinks Young Thug Will Be Acquitted

The YSL RICO case in Atlanta has been a mess. The sprawling trial originally started with 28 defendants. However, plea deals, severings, and dismissals have reduced the number of men still on trial to 9. Among those is Young Thug, who is widely seen by the prosecutors as one of the ringleaders and anchors of the case. Young Thug has had his own fair share of drama. A few weeks ago, he was admitted to the hospital twice during preliminary hearings for the trial. Despite jury selection beginning in January, no jurors have been formally selected yet.

Additionally, the case has been full of twists. Most recently, a Fulton County deputy was arrested after being linked to a smuggling ring run by YSL defendant Christian Eppinger. Eppinger and the deputy were reportedly in a relationship and had been illegally communicating via Instagram. However, the chaotic nature of the trial is exactly why one rap legend thinks that Young Thug isn’t going to prison.

Tony Yayo Explains Thinking In Young Thug Verdict

Appearing on VladTV, Tony Yayo explained why he believes Young Thug isn’t going to jail. “Thug coming home, man,” Yayo said. “The case … it sounds like a clusterfuck, man. Free Young Thug, man. And you know, it’s like, when you look at the shit, it’s like, he’s a high-profile guy. So, it’s a clusterfuck. You know? Even moving them around, it’s like, he’s high-profile. This is everyday shit, though … It’ll just make the news because you’ll hear ‘YSL.’”

It’s not the first time Yayo has commented on the YSL case. Earlier in 2023, he shared his thoughts about Gunna’s plea deal. “It’s hard to call somebody a snitch without the paperwork,” Yayo said. “But I think when that video came out — because remember Gunna got out and I love Gunna music, I love Thugga music. Gunna got out, you know, got the bad chick with him jumped into $200,000 Maybach everything was all Gucci you know what I’m saying. But two minutes later, what was that? Probably like an hour later, yeah the film in court came out.” Do you agree with Yayo? Let us know in the comments.
