Rapper Young Thug is facing additional charges following a new indictment.

The district attorney’s office believes these charges support the prosecution’s claims that the rapper, whose real name is Jeffery Williams, led a criminal street gang for many years.

Mark Winne, an investigative reporter for Channel 2, received the new indictment that said one of the charges involved a machine gun.

Earlier this year, Williams’ lawyer, Brian Steel, asserted his client’s innocence.

“I’ll tell you the response to any allegation is Mr. Williams committed no crime whatsoever, and we will fight to my last drop of blood to clear him,” Steel explained.

In May, Williams and more than two dozen others were charged with conspiracy to violate RICO.

Williams was also accused of being a part of a dangerous street gang.

In an announcement, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said the new indictment, which includes 28 defendants from the previous charge, includes Williams and two others who were alleged to have founded YSL.

“YSL is an acronym for ‘Young Slime Life,'” Willis said. “It is a hybrid gang that operates here in Atlanta and is an affiliate of the Bloods gang.”

New charges have been filed against Williams and the four other defendants since their arrest on March 17 and May 9.

According to the DA’s office and Atlanta Police, the new charges stem from what police found inside Williams’s home in Buckhead the night he and two others were arrested.

Williams is on trial for several new charges, including gang affiliation, drug possession, weapons possession, and machine gun possession.

Williams has pleaded not guilty to the May indictment, as have the other two defendants in the machine gun count, Martinez Arnold, and Deamonte Kendrick, who goes by the stage name Yak Gotti.

Jay Abt, Yak Gotti’s lawyer, asserted that his client is innocent of all these allegations and is looking forward to his day in court. Abt claimed that Yak Gotti is a triple platinum recording artist who does not commit crimes and raps about the life of urban youth.

According to Ashleigh Merchant, Arnold’s defense attorney, she expects him to be acquitted of the original charges and plead not guilty to the new charges in court.
