YFN Lucci says Gunna owes Young Thug explanation for plea deal in YSL RICO case

YFN Lucci believes Gunna should personally address Young Thug about his Alford plea amid YSL RICO case tensions

YFN Lucci believes Gunna owes Young Thug a personal explanation for accepting a plea deal in the YSL RICO case. Speaking on the October 17 episode of Cam Newton’s Funky Friday Podcast, the Atlanta rapper shared his thoughts on the ongoing tension between the two artists, suggesting that direct communication would be better than addressing the issue through music.

“I do feel like he should speak about it,” Lucci said. “I feel like people want to know his side. I even feel like Thug wanna know how he feels and know his side.” Lucci added that while he does not think Gunna deliberately “told on” Young Thug, he believes the “Fukumean” rapper “kind of threw a n**ga under the bus.”

Gunna accepted an Alford plea in 2022, allowing him to maintain his innocence while acknowledging sufficient evidence for a possible conviction. The plea “could not and was not” used against Young Thug in court, but it has continued to fuel debate about loyalty within Atlanta’s rap community.

“It’s your man, so you owe the n**ga an explanation,” Lucci said, adding that Thug might feel hurt by Gunna’s silence. “So, damn, you ain’t gon’ say nothing to me? You ain’t gon’ tell me nothing, my boy? You hurt me.”

Lucci also encouraged both rappers to stop addressing each other through lyrics, referencing Thug’s recent track “Dreams Rarely Do Come True,” where he name-dropped Gunna’s “police a**.” When asked by Newton if he considered Gunna a “rat,” Lucci declined to answer directly, saying, “The world can answer that question. I ain’t got nothing against him. I don’t know ‘em.”

Young Thug has previously commented on his relationship with Gunna, telling It’s Up There Podcast last month that while they “love each other to death,” things between them “gon’ be weird” moving forward.
