Authorities arrested rapper Young Thug Monday and booked him on two gang-
related charges, officials said.

They arrested him as part of a 56-count grand jury indictment in Georgia
impacting 28 members of the Young Stoner Life Records label, which Young
Thug founded, WSB-TV reported.

Young Thug, a 30-year-old Atlanta-based rapper born Jeffery Lamar
Williams, faces charges of conspiring to violate the Racketeer Influenced
and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act and for alleged participation in
street gang activity, according to the report.

The charges stemmed from different incidents, with the RICO Act charge
coming from an incident in 2013 and the gang-related activity charge
coming from 2018, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Fellow rapper and YSL member Gunna was also arrested and faces one count
of conspiring to violate RICO, the court documents showed.

Prosecutors in the indictment claimed YSL operates with the Bloods gang
and highlighted numerous gang-related incidents, spanning years, that
include criminal actions, AJC reported.

One such incident included Young Thug’s renting of a car and ordering the
hit of a rival gang member, prosecutors alleged in the indictment.

Williams' defense attorney, Brian Steel, said the rapper will contest the
allegations.

"I’ll tell you the response to any allegation; Mr. Williams committed no
crime whatsoever and we will fight to my last drop of blood to clear him,"
Steel told WSB-TV.

Young Thug is a Grammy-winning rapper who heavily influences the Atlanta
area. He has also built a national following and regularly brushes
shoulders with other popular names, including recent song appearances with
Cardi B and Elton John.

The rapper has a criminal record which includes an arrest in 2016 for an
outstanding warrant for failing to appear in court, an arrest in 2017 on
drug charges, including possession of meth, hydrocodone, and marijuana,
Fox 5 of Atlanta reported.

He was booked in Fulton County jail.

Young Thug’s big night didn’t go as planned.

The Atlanta rapper was arrested outside a Dave & Buster’s in Hollywood on
Thursday night following his joint 27th birthday and listening party.

Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Lamar Williams, was booked on a weapons
possession charge and was being held on $35,000 bail, Officer Drake
Madison said.

According to The Blast, the rapper and his entourage were leaving the
party when one of the cars he was traveling with hit a police car. During
a subsequent search, cops allegedly found several guns, including an AK-
47.

In addition to Thug, several other people were reportedly arrested. The
rapper has since been released from custody.

“Faster then the officers got off… #SlimeLanguage lil bitch,” he captioned
a selfie posted to Instagram following his release.

A rep for Thug declined to comment.
