AceShowbiz - Young Thug's sister has spoken up after Gunna was released from jail, while Thug remains behind bars in RICO case. As people have speculated that the College Park native cooperated with authorities to get a favorable treatment, Dolly White has surprisingly asked the public to refrain from referring to him as a snitch.
"Can y'all please stop saying that people ratted, and people this-and-that?" Dolly said in a video on Thursday, December 15. "It's not making anybody better, it's not making nothing good, bro. Nothing that's going on is...helping my brother."
She went on pleading, "So can y'all please stop that? Can y'all please stop? If y'all love Gunna, then y'all give him support." Slamming those who floated the allegations against Gunna, she added, "Like, what the f**k y'all over there doing? Y'all tripping."
Dolly additionally explained that she hasn't discussed Gunna on social media due to legal reasons. "I haven't posted him because I was just told that nobody really supposed to have communications with each other right now," she said. "So I don't want to mess up his s**t, so why would I just and post it?"
Gunna's lawyer, meanwhile, has released a statement to deny allegations that his client cooperates with authorities. "Gunna did not snitch to get out of jail. He has said nothing and is not cooperating," Steve Sadow posted on Instagram. "His plea statement cannot be used in court against any other defendant. So please stop spreading lies!!!"
Freddie Gibbs, Wack100 and Boosie Badazz (Lil Boosie) were among celebrities who have suggested that Gunna snitched on his incarcerated friends to secure his release.
Gunna was arrested in May among 28 persons associated with YSL, including Thug, who were charged in a 56-count Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) indictment. While Thugger remains in jail, Gunna pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act on Wednesday, December 14.
He took an Alford plea, meaning that he entered a guilty plea to the one charge while maintaining his innocence on that same charge as a form of self-preservation. He was sentenced to five years in prison, but it was commuted to time served.
In a statement after agreeing to plead guilty, he said, "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."
"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," he 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."
Trying to maintain a good relationship with his label, he said, "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."
Gunna was seen leaving the Fulton County Jail later that day. In a clip which has circulated online, he was greeted by a woman outside the jail. The two shared a hug, during which he squeezed the woman's butt. They later walked hand-in-hand while heading to an awaiting car. He was also all smiles while hanging out with friends in first photos since his release.
