One of the more serious charges with YSL was the attempted murder of YFN Lucci when he was jailed in Fulton County. Two of Young Thug’s associates allegedly asked permission for the hit on the rapper. Ironically, all three rappers are now in the same jail in Fulton County.
It’s clear that the indictment is moving at a fast pace for everyone indicted with YSL. This can be seen with Young Thug being arrested on Monday, with Gunna turning himself in on Wednesday. While YSL was mainly looked at as a record label by many fans, the actions behind this organization are being looked at more closely.
Only time will tell for how the indictment will play out and how much jail time the rappers will see. Under the Georgia statute the jail time for a RICO charge is between 5-20 years in prison. Both rappers have a high amount of status and wealth. It’s assumed their legal teams will be working to diminish their sentences when more details are released.
