Rapper Lil Baby Unfollows Gunna On Social Media
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Atlanta rapper Gunna is facing plenty of backlash after taking a plea deal in the YSL RICO case. The latest evidence of this includes Lil Baby unfollowing him on social media. Yeah, this is where are in Hip-Hop in 2023, but people are talking about it. TMZ Hip Hop took note of Baby’s follow count: First, LB has officially unfollowed the embattled rapper — as of Saturday, it appears Gunna no longer shows up as one of the 970 people Lil Baby is paying attention to on Instagram … which might seem petty, but carries weight considering he *was* following until recently.

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: ANGELA WEISS / Getty Gunna is officially a free man but unfortunately for him it came with a great price, being labeled a snitch out on these Hip-Hop streets. While Hip-Hop’s most infamous snitch ever, Tekashi 6ix9ine proudly wears his “Henry Hill” badge on his chest, Gunna’s lawyer is denying his client is anywhere near the same vicinity as the “Gummo” rapper. But 6ix9ine and Wack 100 disagree and are taking Gunna to task for “tattle telling” on his YSL family. According to TMZ, DJ Akademiks got the ball rolling by DMing Gunna’s lawyer, Steven Sadow and asking him to clarify his position that Gunna isn’t a snitch.

2 More Defendants From YSL RICO Case Plead Guilty
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: jmsilva / Getty The YSL RICO case goes to trial next month and among the more than two dozen defendants, two more have come forth to enter guilty pleas. The pair joins Sergio “Gunna” Kitchens and Walter “DK” Murphy of alleged YSL members who entered plea deals. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that rapper Slimelife Shawty, real name Wunnie Lee, entered an Alford Plea, the same as Gunna, which means that he maintains his innocence while accepting that it was in his best legal interest to accept the deal. Slimelife Shawty pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act as a first offender. His 10-year sentence was commuted to one-year with time serviced and nine years of probation. Martinez...
Angela Yee Says Gunna Ain’t No Snitch
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: TMZ / Youtube Gunna is no snitch. That’s according to former Breakfast Club co-host Angela Yee. On Thursday (Dec. 15), Atlanta rapper Gunna, born Sergio Kitchens, plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corruption Act, which allowed him to essentially become a free man while Young Thug continues to battle the RICO case against him. Of course, this led to wild speculation and hot takes on the Internes that Gunna was dropping dime on the entire Young Stoner Life (YSL) team, which the Feds says is actually a gang under the guise of a record label. Knowing he’s been able to walk (he got time served and will be doing community service) would raise eyebrows, he quickly issued a statement that read: “While I have agreed to...

Gunna Files Third Bond Motion; Attorneys Claims There’s ‘No Evidence’ To Support Hold
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: ANGELA WEISS / Getty Atlanta rap star Gunna who was arrested in May as part of a large RICO indictment of YSL, has remained in holding. But this week, his attorneys filed a third bond motion seeking to have him released. According to court documents dated Sept. 26 that were reviewed by Complex, the rapper’s legal team said that Georgia prosecutors have failed to show evidence of its argument about why he should remain in custody. “The State has presented no evidence to support its claims of dangerousness and has dismissed the only serious overt act (75) that was present when the first bond hearing was held,” the legal team argued.

It also follows the indictment of Atlanta rappers Young Thug and Gunna on gang-related RI...
California Governor Set to Sign Bill Restricting Use of Lyrics in Criminal Cases
Amid a growing movement on both the state and federal level, California is one step closer to restricting the use of rap lyrics as evidence by prosecutors in criminal cases. Introduced by California State Assemblyperson Reginald Byron Jones-Sawyer, AB 2799 would require judges to query prosecutors on whether introducing lyrics would add racial bias into these cases and will reportedly be signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom in the coming days. “When rap and hip-hop artists adhere to this time-honored tradition of make-believe, their lyrics are too often — and unfairly — taken literally, stripped of the poetic license afforded other genres,” Recording Industry Association of America chairman/CEO Mitch Glazier wrote the California State Senate in a letter of support for AB 2799.
