Young Thug & Yak Gotti Facing New Charges, Including Possession of a Machine Gun
A new indictment focusing on Young Thug and four others in the YSL RICO case brings about new charges for the Atlanta rapper.
According to WSB-TV, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ office revealed that the new indictment involves all 28 defendants from the May indictment. However, the new charges are against Young Thug and four other defendants, stemming from arrests on March 17 and May 9.
Young Thug is now facing a new gang charge, new drug charges, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and possession of a machine gun. Many of the charges stem from weapons and drugs seized by police at the rapper’s home in Buckhead, Atlanta during his arrest on May 9.
Two other defendants were involved in the machine gun count, including rapper Yak Gotti and Martinez Arnold. Jay Abt, an attorney for Yak Gotti, denied that the rapper is guilty of the charges, adding that he’s looking forward to his day in court.
Defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant, who is representing Arnold, also commented, revealing that Arnold didn’t live at Young Thug’s residence where the weapon was found. Merchant told WSB-TV that she’s confident Arnold won’t be convicted of the original charges and he’ll be pleading not guilty to the new charges.

Atlanta’s District Attorney Says She Is Trying To Stay Alive After Receiving Death Threats For Indicting Young Thug & YSL Members
Fulton County DA Fani Willis needs extensive security to keep her alive since a high-profile racketeering indictment involving Young Thug and YSL members. Willis says she has taken extraordinary measures to protect her and her family after receiving death threats over the case involving YSL members.
In an interview with WSB-TV, Willis speaks about the increasing threats against her after the arrests of Young Thug, Gunna and other alleged members of the Young Slime Life Gang. She says she needs extensive security “to stay alive.”
Willis notes that those death threats were likely sent by fans of those indicted instead of coming from the gang members. “We don’t believe that these threats were directed by anyone that is in the YSL indictment,” she says. “I would say that [threats are coming from] people that are very sympathetic, maybe admirers of YSL and people who are connected with them in some sense.”
Willis admits that she’s also getting more hostile comments from former President Donald Trump’s supporters after she announced that a special grand jury is looking in to certain events connected to the most recent presidential election in Georgia.
“Oh, it is definitely a significant driver of the heightened security,” the D.A. says. “People are angry about that investigation. People are angry about investigations into gangs, so each of those things plays a factor.”
As to how it has affected her life, Willis reveals, “I’m much more cautious than I’ve ever been in my life, paying more attention to my surroundings. It’s required for me to stay alive.”
Willis claims some of the threats include her being murdered. “And (that person) seems to have information about where my house is actually located,” she shares.
The City of South Fulton, the Atlanta Police Department, the Fulton County Police Department and the Fulton County Sheriff are working together to take part in Willis’ security details. They are also backing her dignitary protection team from the District Attorney’s Office.
The threats, however, do not deter Willis from bringing the criminals to justice. “I’m not going to be intimidated from doing it, and doing it in the correct fashion and holding people accountable,” she declares.

DJ Vlad and TK Kirkland attempt to decipher a quote from Young Thug where he claimed that he would get breast implants in prison if he had to do a long bid.
They settled on a theory that the Atlanta-based rapper was simply implying that he would do whatever it took in order to be allowed to serve out his time in a woman’s prison, rather than a facility for men. This prompts a discussion about a transgender inmate at a women’s prison in New Jersey who got two of her fellow inmates pregnant.
