#hiphopgemz #shorts #hiphop The arrest of Young Thug, Gunna, and other YSL associates in last May’s RICO (short for Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) indictment elicited a unified response from within the rap world. Fans and other musicians resoundingly proclaimed “Free Gunna.” But after his release in December, following an Alford plea deal that gave him time served and a five-year suspended sentence, few people in the rap world celebrated. Since footage of the Georgia plea hearing leaked, and the world saw him affirm Fulton County prosecutors’ assertion that YSL is a gang and “YSL must end,” he’s been demeaned as a “snitch.”
YSL members, as well as rappers Polo G, Meek Mill, and Lil Baby, a close collaborator Gunna taught how to rap, have unfollowed him on Instagram. Fans believe Lil Durk threw a sly diss at Gunna “telling” in a recent song snippet. Gunna’s first Instagram post of 2023 was derided by those who called him out for putting “YSL the label” in his caption after his Alford plea statement declared YSL a gang. Rap fans, few of whom have any proximity to the criminal lifestyle that fascinates them, have relentlessly ridiculed him as “a rat.”
