According to Georgia’s state law, the case against YSL is based on federal RICO statutes that are used to prosecute mafias, drug cartels, and other organized crime groups. Lyrics in the band’s songs were considered to be major evidence in the YSL RICO case. There is a video on the internet of one of his court hearings. Netizens have grown weary of him after watching a video of him in court. During the video, a law enforcement official asks Gunna: YSL is a music label and a gang, and you know there have been crimes committed by YSL members and associates. The rapper responded by saying “Yes, ma’am.” She then asked him to acknowledge that YSL should end as a gang.
The Viral Video Of Rapper In Court Has Sparked A Big Response From Netizens
YSL Records members were accused of committing crimes by the singer, causing disagreement among Internet users. Netizens argued whether he took the right course of action by being honest or if he snitched to get out of jail. In contrast to Young Thug, a fellow musician still incarcerated, some Twitter users have questioned the rapper’s release from jail. I can’t believe Gunna sat up there and dry snitched, wrote one user. In another user’s words, Gunna snitched like hell, because there is no way he should be able to walk free. Netizens also pointed out that those who accused Gunna of snitching were unaware that he took the Alford Plea. When a person maintains their innocence while accepting a plea, it is referred to as the best-interest plea. In addition, they accept the consequences of a guilty verdict.

One user commented, Do you know what makes me feel super weird? All these publications omit Gunna’s Alford plea. There is no doubt that people will assume he snitched. Another user added, furthermore, if you think Gunna snitched you crazy, they simply didn’t have any solid evidence in the first place. During his court hearing on Wednesday, 14th December the rapper announced that he would not cooperate nor testify in the case. According to netizens, the rapper has hinted that he didn’t snitch on anyone by admitting he didn’t testify against any of the parties involved. It is expected that the YSL RICO trial will take place next month.
Omg Gunna real sat up there and dry snitched..

Do you know what’s super weird to me? All these publications leaving out the Alford plea part of Gunna’s deal. They know people are going to automatically assume he snitched.

Y’all acting like he snitched when all he did was confirm information that was already public

Legit seems like snitching to me. And since this is a RICO, him pleading guilty hurts the rest of them. He admitted in court that YSL is a gang. His people still behind bars. That admission will be used against his people. Snitching.
