Cash Jones, professionally known as Wack 100, has walked back his accusations against Gunna, now claiming Yak Gotti is the individual cooperating with authorities in the YSL RICO trial. 

The hip-hop commentator and music executive initially accused Gunna of snitching on Young Thug and others in the YSL case. However, his latest remarks shift attention to Yak Gotti, whose interrogation video has gone viral on social media.


Hours before implicating Yak Gotti, Wack 100 took to Instagram Live, claiming he had evidence of Gunna's cooperation. He threatened to release footage unless Gunna confessed to aiding prosecutors in the trial. Gunna, who took an Alford plea in the case and walked free earlier this year, has been a target of Wack’s allegations since his release.

The viral interrogation video of Yak Gotti, real name Deamonte Kendrick, shows him speaking with detectives, which Wack has cited as evidence of cooperation. 


This comes amid significant developments in Yak’s legal situation. On the same day as Wack’s accusations, Yak Gotti celebrated his 32nd birthday and the dismissal of three charges against him in the YSL trial.

In a celebratory Instagram post, Yak shared a photo from court and expressed optimism about his potential release. “Locked in the system, I’m just thankful to be livin. See y’all by Christmas, God willing Thanksgiving. Three charges dropped, plus unlimited support, best birthday wishes,” he wrote.


According to 11 Alive, Judge Paige Whitaker dismissed the charges, including drug possession and intent to distribute, citing insufficient evidence. However, Yak’s RICO charge and other allegations remain. Judge Whitaker denied a motion for dismissal on these counts, leaving Yak’s future uncertain. Closing arguments in the trial are set to begin on November 25, with Yak and Shannon Stillwell (aka SB) being the last of the 28 original defendants from the May 2022 arrests.

Meanwhile, other YSL members have taken plea deals in the high-profile trial. Last month, Young Thug, Rodalius Ryan (Lil Rod), and Marquavius Huey (Qua) entered agreements with prosecutors. Ryan, already serving a murder sentence, pleaded guilty to violating the RICO act, with his 10-year sentence commuted to time served. Huey accepted a plea deal that reduced his potential three life sentences to 25 years, of which he will serve nine.

Young Thug’s plea allowed for his release under strict conditions. The “Ski” rapper pleaded guilty to multiple charges except for racketeering and being a gang leader, to which he entered a nolo contendere plea (neither admitting nor denying guilt). Thug was sentenced to 15 years of probation, including seven and a half years of active reporting. He is barred from Atlanta and its surrounding areas for the next decade, except for limited family events. Thug must also participate in anti-gang and gun violence programs and avoid promoting gang-related content.

The YSL trial has been fraught with dramatic moments, including a defense attorney flashing a “Slatt” gang sign to the media in solidarity with the remaining defendants. As closing arguments approach, the spotlight remains on Yak Gotti and Shannon Stillwell, whose legal outcomes could signal the final chapter in this high-stakes case.
