The YSL Case
Recently, in Georgia, the district attorney of Fulton charged Young Thug with founding a criminal group YSL (Young Slime Life).
According to the police, the YSL group committed multiple murders, shootings, also robberies. The police also imprisoned a group of 27 people, including rapper Gunna. Thug and Gunna were then incarcerated in the Fulton County Jail on charges of conspiracy and RICO law violations.

What is the RICO Law? Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations is a federal law against criminal racketeering and corrupt organizations. It allows to prosecute and then punish civilians for their criminal acts committed in a company.
Thug’s lawyer, Brian Steel, also told the media that his client did not commit any crime and that he would fight to prove his innocence. This Wednesday, both were denied bond.
Currently, Young Thug and Gunna are in the Fulton County jail. Besides, no more information is available.
Metro Boomin’s Defense
However, Meek Mill has not been the only artist talking about this situation.
The producer Metro Boomin also took on his social media accounts to talk about the Young Slime Life collective and Young Thug & Gunna’s case.
In addition, Boomin took to Twitter to talk about the many opportunities YSL gives.
YSL is not a gang and never been a gang fool, YSL is a registered LLC and has provided countless jobs and opportunities for underprivileged black people and really just all people cause that’s how big Thug heart is.
I’ve seen first handed thousands of black people and their families lives changed for the better over the past 10 years now #they are trying to cut the head off the snake because #they see how much bigger it gets every year.
He also mentioned people who are always trying to take down the YSL LLC.
They get terrified every time an iconic black leader emerges with so much influence, respect, power, and appeal so they throw some bullshit charges together to lock him up and slow the movement down. Look at American history it’s been a pattern for 100+ years.
