Feds Served Lunch To Young Thug, Gunna And YSL!

Young Thug and Gunna got a federal sandwich handed to them.

The Atlanta based rappers are in the feds crosshairs. The feds are likely shutting down Young Slime Life. 

Young Thug, Gunna and the label founded by Thugger, YSL are facing RICO charges.

Jeffrey L. Williams, 30 and Sergio Kitchens, 28 are being held in the Fulton County lockup on conspiracy to drug trafficking, gang activity and weapons charges. The entertainers were charged with conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) and participation in criminal street gang activity, according to jail records. The conspiracy charge stems from an alleged incident that occurred on January 24, 2013 while the gang charge is connected to an alleged offense from May 12, 2018. 

Williams and Kitchens are of 30 individuals involved. The U.S. Marshals gave Thugger a 6am wake up call. 

Christian Eppinger was also indicted in this.

Atlanta police have accused Eppinger of shooting veteran gang unit officer David Rodgers six times in a Feb. 7 incident. His case raised eyebrows last month when a judge granted Eppinger bond, drawing public ire and harsh criticism by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. The judge later raised Eppinger’s bond from $400,000 to $2 million, a mostly symbolic decision as Eppinger was also being held in a probation revocation case.

Late last month, Willis said she and her office were taking time to collect and review all evidence against Eppinger, promising “an indictment that is complete and holds him and others responsible for all of their actions.

Young Thug was taken into custody during an Atlanta police raid at his home in Buckhead, according to Channel 2 Action News. A police spokeswoman directed further inquiries to the district attorney’s office, which has not provided further comment on the criminal indictment.

Thug was on the feds radar. YFN Lucci already in custody for allegations of murder and conspiracy to criminal intent.

In the indictment, prosecutors have accused Williams of co-founding the gang Young Slime Life, which bears the same name as his YSL record label. The organization got its start in 2012 in the Cleveland Avenue area, according to the indictment, and allegedly claims affiliation with the national Bloods street gang.

Much of Williams’ alleged criminal activity regards song lyrics and social media posts which prosecutors say were “overt act(s) in furtherance of the conspiracy.” He is also accused of a variety of other crimes, including drug possession with intent to distribute and theft by receiving stolen property.

Williams’ first court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday at 11:30 a.m., Channel 2 reported.

The arrest is not Williams’ first encounter with law enforcement in metro Atlanta. In 2017, he was arrested on drug charges in DeKalb County alongside Kitchens and another man, Chris Jones. Kitchens, a well-known rapper in his own right, was an artist on Williams’ Smyrna-based YSL label.

Young Thug going through some things.

Earlier that year, Williams was featured on Camila Cabello’s hit song “Havana,” the rapper’s first song to rise to number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Williams has also been previously arrested in Fulton on drug charges, jail records show.

In the years since his last arrest, Williams’ star has grown as he avoided legal entanglements. In 2019, he won a Grammy Award as a songwriter on “This Is America,” the thought-provoking Childish Gambino track further propelled by an unconventional music video that went viral. Childish Gambino is the stage name of Donald Glover, the multi-faceted actor and rapper known for producing and starring in the TV show “Atlanta.”

Williams has also been featured on two other songs that topped the Billboard charts, first on Travis Scott’s song “Franchise” in 2020 and again the next year on Drake’s “Way 2 Sexy,” which also featured Future, another Atlanta rapper.

The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. They could face up to 5 to 25 years in the iron college.
