The Atlanta native recently opened up about the treatment of his friend Young Thug after he and several other YSL-related people were arrested for RICO.
‘YSL is a family. YSL is a brand. YSL is a way of life. YSL is a lifestyle. YSL is not a gang. YSL is not a criminal [organization]. YSL is not a street gang. YSL is not a crowd,’ he wrote at the time.
Young Thug and 27 others were arrested earlier this week on suspicion of gang involvement and conspiracy to violate Georgia’s criminal racketeering law.
