Despite the disturbance, the YSL Records founder manages to score a victory as a judge rules that cell phones and other evidence collected from his house without a search warrant in 2015 could not be used as evidence in the trial.

AceShowbiz - Having an NSFW clip pop up during a court hearing might be the last thing Young Thug expected. The "Pick Up the Phone" rapper was left baffled after his recent hearing got interrupted by a nude zoom video.
Thug's defense attorney was also shocked by the interruption at the Thursday, December 15 hearing. It was unveiled that the naked man also displayed the phrase "free Young Thug" in the lewd footage. Deputies then quickly tried to turn off the screens.
Despite the disturbance, Thug managed to score a victory that day. A judge ruled that cell phones and other evidence collected from his house without a search warrant in 2015 could not be used as evidence in the trial.
While Thug and other YSL members remain in custody, Gunna pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act on Wednesday. The "Pushin P" rapper 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.
Some people, including Freddie Gibbs, Wack 100 and Boosie Badazz (Lil Boosie), speculated that Gunna snitched on his incarcerated friends to secure his release. However, his lawyer denied the snitching claims.
Thug's sister, Dolly White, also 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. "It's not making anybody better, it's not making nothing good, bro. Nothing that's going on is...helping my brother."
"So can y'all please stop that? Can y'all please stop? If y'all love Gunna, then y'all give him support," Dolly added. Slamming those who floated the allegations against Gunna, she added, "Like, what the f**k y'all over there doing? Y'all tripping."
