A Call for Openness in the RICO Case

YFN Lucci has expressed that it is crucial for gunna to clarify his stance regarding his plea deal related to Young Thug’s ongoing RICO case. During an episode of Cam Newton’s “funky Friday Podcast” aired on October 17th, the artist known for “Heartless” shared why he believes it is vital for Gunna to openly discuss this issue. He pointed out that while this matter is personal between them, clarity is also owed to their fans and supporters.

“I truly believe he should address it,” Lucci remarked. “People deserve insight into his outlook.” He further suggested that Young Thug would likely appreciate understanding how Gunna feels about these developments as well.

“He mentioned feeling misled or something similar,” Lucci added.While he doesn’t fully subscribe to the notion that Gunna betrayed anyone outright, he does sense some degree of abandonment involved.It’s vital to highlight that when someone takes an Alford plea—maintaining innocence while acknowledging sufficient evidence against them—it cannot be used against Thug during legal proceedings.

“This is yoru friend; you owe him some form of explanation,” said Lucci. He speculated on how Young thug might feel: “So your just going to leave me out here? You won’t even explain what transpired? That stings.”

A Direct Dialog Over Indirect References

Luci later proposed that instead of continuing their conflict through music—like when Young Thug addressed Gunna’s actions in September’s album *UY SCUTI*—Gunna should reach out directly instead. The tension between them has been evident since then.

The Loyalty Debate: Is Gunna a ‘Snitch’?

diving deeper into their discussion, Newton asked whether Lucci views Gunna as a “snitch.” To which he responded thoughtfully: “That’s up for public opinion; I won’t label him.” He clarified his position by stating he harbors no personal resentment towards him and doesn’t know him well enough to make such determinations.

Status Update Between Young Thug and Gunna

Younger Thug has provided insights regarding his relationship with Gunna several times since being released from jail. Most recently during last month’s episode of “It’s Up There Podcast,” he commented on their connection despite its current strain: “We care deeply about each othre; though,things will never quite return to how they were.” He acknowledged there are reasons they can’t revert back due to recent events complicating matters.”
