Prosecutors argued that Gunna is in a “command position” in YSL gang, and that he could intimidate witnesses if released.
You may have heard that Gunna was named in a grand jury indictment that alleged that YSL (aka Young Thug’s Young Stoner Life Records) is a criminal street gang. He pleaded not guilty during yesterday’s (May 23) hearing. A judge made the decision after prosecutors argued that Gunna could intimidate potential witnesses if released, claiming he was in a “command position” in YSL, the record label that prosectors allege is a gang.
Gunna had many shows to perform at since the arrest, some of which have already been canceled. His trial is set for January 9th, 2023. Young Thug was also arrested and an emergency bond hearing for him has been delayed, after a judge initially denied him bond. Young Thug’s attorney is requesting the emergency bond due to the rapper’s alleged “inhumane” imprisonment.
