A video of Gunna taking his plea deal surfaced online shortly after the rapper was released from jail.
“YSL is a music label and a gang, and you have personal knowledge that members or associates have committed crimes in furtherance of the gang,” the prosecutor states.
“Yes, ma’am,” Gunna replied.
“You were present with [Young Thug] when hydrocodone, methamphetamines, and a firearm were recovered. These items did not belong to you,” the prosecutor then explained.
“Yes, ma’am,” Gunna replied.
“I recognize, accept, and deeply regret that my talent and music indirectly furthered YSL the gang to the detriment of my community,” the woman concludes.
“Yes, ma’am,” Gunna concludes.
The rapper’s five-year prison sentence was suspended on Wednesday after he entered an Alford plea to a racketeering charge in the YSL RICO case, in which he received credit for one year of his time served.
“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 and have absolutely NO intention of being involved in the trial process in any way,” the statement reads.
“I have chosen to end my own RICO case with an Alford plea and end my personal ordeal by publicly acknowledging my association with YSL,” Gunna added. “An Alford plea, in my case, is the entry of a guilty plea to the one charge against me, which is in my best interest, while at the same time maintaining my innocence toward the same charge. I love and cherish my association with YSL music and always will. I look at this as an opportunity to give back to my community and educate young men and women that ‘gangs’ and violence only lead to destruction.”
