Gunna, whose real name is Sergio Kitchens, was named along with at least 28 other people a part of YSL Records and Young Thug, aka Jeffrey Williams. YSL Records is Young Thug’s Atlanta-based record company standing for Young Stoner Life.

Gunna is charged with Conspiracy to Violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and is being held in Fulton County jail in Georgia.

WSB-TV reports, “the indictment alleges Kitchens committed theft by receiving stolen property, possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, possession of hydrocodone with intent to distribute, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, and participation in criminal street gang activity.”

Both rappers are also accused of being a part of a larger criminal enterprise and gang-related activity, which is alleged to be involved in most crimes around Atlanta, including the attempted murder of rapper YFN Lucci.

Young Thug is allegedly responsible for co-founding a violent street gang. USA Today writes, “the 88-page indictment filed Monday in Georgia’s Fulton County quotes lyrics from multiple music videos as evidence and accuses alleged gang members of committing violent crimes to collect money for the gang, promote its reputation and enhance its power and territory.”
