VIDEO: Young Thug, Gunna And 26 Other Members Of YSL Arrested And Are Facing RICO Charges Over Alleged Permission To YSL Members To Murder YFN Lucci In Prison

Young Thug has been arrested on RICO charges and among the indictment is an accusation that two of Thugger’s associates requested permission from the rapper to put a hit on YFN Lucci.

Tonight (May 9), local Atlanta outlet WSBTV broke the news of Thug’s arrest, as well as Gunna and 26 other YSL members and associates receiving the RICO charges.

Within the indictment, which WSBTV reporter Michael Seiden has been tweeting out, contained information that two members of YSL had “worked to get permission of Young Thug to make a 2nd attempt to murder YFN Lucci while he’s jailed in Fulton County.”

The two YSL members who allegedly got permission from Thug are Christian Eppinger and Antonio Sumlin, according to Seiden.

Young Thug and YFN Lucci’s beef started back in 2017, when Thug called himself the new Tupac and Lucci took exception tweeting, “Pac would’ve never wore a dress,” along with a clown emoji. Thugger fired some Twitter shots back, but the tension appeared to end there. In 2018, Young Thug reignited the beef by threatening to slap YFN Lucci. In 2019, Lucci clowned Thug’s So Much Fun album, which caused the YSL rapper to respond on Instagram, “@yfn if ain like what u do for your mother and kids I WOULDVE BEEN KILLED U.”

In May of that year, YFN Lucci’s Mercedes SUV was shot up in Atlanta. Later that year, Lucci egged the beef on by claiming to have slept with Young Thug’s girlfriend Jerrika Karlae. In 2020, the beef was still alive and well, with Young Thug publicly clowning Lucci’s jewelry.

Last January, YFN Lucci turned himself in to police to face murder charges after being accused of driving a car that was involved in an Atlanta shootout, where one of his passengers who was struck during the shooting was reportedly ejected from the vehicle and died on the street. Back in March, Lucci claimed he was stabbed while in jail and fears for his life.

Young Thug’s attorney Brian Steel maintains his client’s innocence. “Mr. Williams committed no crime whatsoever and we will fight to my last drop of blood to clear him,” he told WSBTV.

Williams is schedule to make his first court appearance Tuesday at 11:30 am, Channel 2 reports.

The 30-year-old hip-hop star has had several tangles with the law in recent years. In 2017, he was arrested in Brookhaven, GA on drug-related charges. On that occasion, the Jeffery star was reportedly slapped with a felony drug charge and a misdemeanor for having tinted windows.

Then, the following year, in 2018, a grand jury warrant for eight felonies was issued in his name, connected to the September 2017 arrest, where he was found in possession of marijuana, hydrocodone, methamphetamine and a firearm.

Two days later. the then-27-year-old turned himself in to DeKalb County authorities. He was released, then briefly returned to jail following a failed drug test.
