“I never killed anybody, but I got something to do with that body,” Young Thug rapped on the 2018 track “Anybody,” featuring Nicki Minaj. In an 88 page document, Fulton County prosecutors list lyrics from nine of his songs including last year’s “Ski,” a collab with Gunna, who is also named as a defendant in the indictment against members of YSL. Fulton County District Attorney, Fani T. Willis, in a press conference yesterday said “I believe in the First Amendment. It’s one of our most precious rights. However, the First Amendment does not protect people from prosecutors using [music] as evidence if it is such.” She also said “there’s obviously many people that are looking at life under this indictment.” Thug has been charged with conspiracy to violate the RICO act and participation in criminal street gang activity. Gunna has been charged with one count of conspiring to violate RICO. Charges for others featured include murder, aggravated assault, firearms violations, theft, drug possession, participating in street gang activity, armed robbery, and carjacking between 2012 and 2020.
