Gunna is released after serving 7 months in prison.
Gunna is a free man again after the rapper pleaded guilty to the racketeering Rico charges, for which he was arrested in May with Young Thug and other YSL members. According to WSB-TV, the YSL rapper appeared in court for a virtual hearing on Wednesday, where he pleaded guilty to a racketeering conspiracy charge.
The rapper and his legal team entered an Alford plea, where he plead guilty to one charge, for which he was sentenced to five years. The four years of the sentence were ‘suspended’ and the rapper will serve the rest with 500 hours of community service.
“While I have agreed to always be truthful, I want to make it perfectly clear that I have NOT made any statements, have NOT been interviewed, have NOT cooperated, have NOT agreed to testify or be a witness for or against any party in the case and have absolutely NO intention of being involved in the trial process in any way,” he said in a statement. “My focus of YSL was entertainment — rap artists who wrote and performed music that exaggerated and ‘glorified’ urban life in the Black community.”
Gunna has insisted that he hasn’t been working with the prosecution, based on the statement made public by the rapper’s attorneys “I have chosen to end my own RICO case with an Alford plea and end my personal ordeal by publicly acknowledging my association with YSL. The Alford plea, in my case, is the entry of a guilty plea to the one charge against me, and it is in my best interest. At the same time, it is also maintaining my innocence toward the same charge,” reads Gunna’s official statement.
