Gunna ended his months-long incarceration by pleading guilty to a racketeering conspiracy charge in the YSL Rico case.
The Grammy-nominated rapper filed a pre-negotiated plea known as the Alford plea on Wednesday and was sentenced to 5 years - with one year commuted for time he has already served. The other 4 will be suspended, pending community service and other special conditions.
In a statement, Gunna says he didn't think of YSL as a gang around 2016 when his rap career started to break out, and only focused on the entertainment aspects…even though that meant an exaggeration of the “Black urban” way of life.
He also pointed out that his guilty plea meant no cooperation against other YSL members...and his Alford plea acknowledges his own association with YSL.
Gunna says he is eager to give back to his community and wants young people to know that gangs and violence are the doors to their destruction.
