Prosecutors Present Lyrics To Be Used Against Young Thug In RICO Trial

Young Thug's RICO trial is about to get started during which prosecutors will present evidence backing their case, and, controversially, that will include some of his lyrics. Opening arguments are scheduled to kick off Monday in Fulton County, where YT is facing serious charges including conspiracy, participating in criminal street gang activity, possession of a firearm and controlled substances charges, among others. He's pleaded not guilty with his defense attorney insisting his name will be cleared through the proceedings. Thug is just one of several individuals who've been charged in the sweeping case but he's a key defendant, as the feds allege he's one of the head honchos of YSL (Young Slime Life) which they claim is not only a music label/brand, but a violent criminal enterprise too. The allegations against Thug and the other 27 co-defendants date back to 2015, and some defendants not Thug are facing murder, attempted murder and armed robbery charges. Even more alarming is the fact prosecutors are expected to cite specific lyrics YSL members have rapped to help build the case against them.
