“Pushin’ P” rapper Gunna surrendered to authorities earlier this week as part of a 28-person indictment involving people associated with the Young Stoner Life (YSL) collective. He is facing one count of conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act.
On Wednesday (May 12), Gunna appeared in court for a bond hearing, and he was denied bond. The attorneys representing Gunna, which includes Donald F. Samuel, John A. Garland and Kristen W. Novay, released a statement about the charges. The statement reads, “Mr. Sergio Kitchens, known as Gunna, is innocent. The indictment falsely portrays his music as part of a criminal conspiracy. Mr. Kitchens has been an advocate for his community, and it is our privilege to advocate for him.”
Young Thug was also denied bond after appearing in front of Judge Robert Wolf via video from Fulton County Jail on Wednesday (May 11). Young Thug is facing charges of conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act and one count of participation in criminal street gang activity. Drugs and guns were also found in Young Thug’s home after authorities executed a search warrant, which led to more charges.
