Young Thug gets emotional while talking about Gunna's snitching allegations

Young Thug and Gunna were among 26 YSL members who were arrested in May 2022. They faced multiple charges, including violating the RICO Act and allegations that YSL was a gang rather than a music label.

Gunna, whose real name is Sergio Giavanni Kitchens, was released in 2022 after signing a plea deal. This led to many fans and rappers, including Thug, accusing him of snitching on the other YSL members. Kitchens denied these accusations.

In a three-hour interview on the Perspektives with Bank podcast, published on September 7, Thug opened up about the entire incident. He said:

“Was Gunna takin’ that plea harmful to me? Yes, 100%. First we tellin’ the jurors ‘YSL ain’t a gang.’ Now [after the plea deals] we goin’ back to the jurors sayin’, ‘Well, some people might say it’s a gang — but we ain’t a part of that part of it. We a part of the record label part.’”

Thug said that Gunna needs to provide an explanation.

“Even if I don’t want to hear it, you still supposed to be a real nigga and say it. How can you just do what you did to me and then just go live your life? Like ain’t nothing happened?"

He added, however:

"I love you bruh… I poured so much into him, I can’t even hate him. In jail I thought I hated him… But I don’t wish no ill will on him — no ill feelings at all.”

Thug became emotional during the interview as he spoke about the "betrayals" he faced during that time. He was released from prison in October 2024 after signing a guilty plea deal.
