ATLANTA (AP) — Rapper Gunna, who was arrested earlier this year along with fellow rapper Young Thug & more than 2 dozen other people, on Wednesday pleaded guilty in Atlanta to a racketeering conspiracy charge.
In May obtained an indictment that said members of the Young Slime Life criminal street gang committed violent crimes to collect money for the gang, promote its reputation & grow its power & territory.
Gunna, whose given name is Sergio Kitchens, entered an Alford plea, which allows a person to maintain his innocence while acknowledging that it is in his best interest to plead guilty.
“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 & have absolutely NO intention of being involved in the trial process in any way,” the rapper said in the statement.
Kitchens was sentenced to 5 years, with credit for time served & the balance suspended. He also must do 500 hours of community service, including 350 hours speaking “to young men & women about the hazards and immorality of gangs & gang violence & the decay that it causes in our communities,” He also isn’t allowed to have any guns or to have contact with others charged except through his attorneys or music label.
The trial for others charged in the indictment is set to begin next month.
Young Thug, whose given name is Jeffery Lamar Williams & 2 others founded Young Slime Life, a violent criminal street gang that’s commonly known as YSL & is affiliated with the national Bloods gang. He has pleaded not guilty.
Kitchens is signed to Williams’ Young Stoner Life record label.
