Rappers Young Thug and Gunna are currently in the slammer over a RICO indictment and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis recently revealed that more rappers could be going down with them.
In an interview with WSBTV, Willis said there will be two more gang racketeering indictments “over the next 60 days.” She also spoke about the threats to her life since taking on the YSL case, saying, “I’m much more cautious than I’ve ever been in my life of paying attention to my surroundings. It’s required for me to stay alive.”
So who will be next? Of course, music fans are trying to figure it out but fellow Atlanta rapper Lil Baby appears to be staying strong through all the heavy speculation. Just recently, Lil Baby hopped on Twitter to share his new venture. He tweeted, “I’m trying to start an investment group for the young black millionaires !! We can run the world if we play it right!” One fan replied to the entertainer, “Man you better be 👀 out for that Rico everybody keeps talking about.” Lil Baby responded saying, “Only god can judge me,” he said with the praying hands emoji.
Only god can judge me 🙏🏽

As we previously reported, Gunna and rapper Young Thug have been accused of possession and intent to sell narcotics, receiving stolen property, and for general street gang activity. They were also charged with being part of a larger criminal enterprise comprised of YSL associates who are alleged to have been involved in a number of crimes, including the attempted murder of rapper YFN Lucci.
Gunna surrendered to police back in May and was booked on racketeering charge earlier in the morning. Gunna, whose legal name is Sergio Kitchens, is one of the 28 alleged gang members named in the Fulton County district attorney’s indictment. Gunna was denied bond on jurisdictional grounds. It was not on the substance of his case. The Magistrate Court judge agreed with prosecutors that in this instance because the case has already been indicted, only the Superior Court judge to whom the RICO case has been assigned has authority to decide on bond, the news site notes. However, he did say he “absolutely would consider bond” on the merits of the case, “but I don’t have the authority to do it today.” So, what exactly does this mean? Gunna could remain in jail for several weeks. Gunna’s attorney is hoping to still have the Magistrate Court judge hear bond at a sooner date.
