Gunna is clearing the air on where he stands with Young Thug‘s YSL record label. Speaking to RapCaviar for its ‘Day In The Life’ show, the ‘f*kumean’ rapper spoke on his ties to the entity as folks continue to speculate issues between him and its founder.
“I’m still signed to YSL, I’m still providing, like we still pushing. Like, no paperwork has been changed; know what I’m saying. So it’s like whatever’s been getting and how we pushing this sh*t, it’s still going,” Gunna revealed about his Young Stoner Life Records ties.
In April, Gunna told XXL that his relationship with Thug remains the “same.” “Its love, always. Our relationship is our relationship,” he added.
In late 2022, Gunna accepted a plea deal after Atlanta prosecutors jailed him earlier that year on RICO charges. He, along with Young Thug and 25 other people, faced a 56-count case. The indictment alleges that YSL was a gang called Young Stoner Life, per Vulture.
After seven months behind bars, Gunna walked on Dec. 14, 2022, following an Alford plea on a racketeering conspiracy charge. Rather than serve five years, the court commuted his sentence to time serve and assigned him 500 hours of community service. Additionally, he was required to agree to several YSL-related statements in court, including that “YSL is a music label and a gang, and [he] has personal knowledge that members or associates of YSL have committed crimes in furtherance of the gang.”
After he accepted his plea, seven defendants also took pleas, per Vulture. The outlet reports that six defendants are headed to trial, with several already in motionthe most notable and viral being Thugger’s.
Since his release, Gunna has maintained that he did not “snitch” on Thugger, releasing statements both through his lawyer and music. He has also previously called for the release of Thug.
Most recently, Thugger’s dad, Jeffrey Williams Sr., enjoyed Gunna’s show front row, going viral how he lived it up.
