When Lil Wayne, real name Dwayne Michael Carter Jr, and Young Thug, real name Jeffery Lamar Williams, were signed to the same label, Vash Money, it looked likely that a collaboration between the two performers might happen.

Things appeared to sour in 2016 a couple of years after Lil Wayne released a couple of mixtapes under Carter.

Fans eagerly awaited Carter V but were left disappointed when the rapper confirmed it wouldn’t be coming out.

Lyrics, continued

District Attorney Fani Willis said that while she understands that songs are protected as free speech, she believes that the lyrics are “overt and predicate acts” that support the charges.

“The First Amendment does not protect people from prosecutors using it as evidence if it is so,” she said.

Lyrics used in the indictment

Investigators included quotes from lyrics in multiple music video appearances by Williams in the indictment.

In one music video from 2018, Young Thug says, “I never killed anybody but I got something to do with that body.”

He also raps, “I told them to shoot hundred rounds.”

The lyrics are from his song titled Anybody.

Social media and music used

District Attorney Fani Willis said that Young Thug’s social media as well as the lyrics in his music played a crucial part in the investigation.

“Social media is a wonderful tool for prosecutors in every indictment we bring these days,” Willis said.

'Rooted out of our community'

At a press conference on Tuesday, Fulton County DA Dani Wallis said that the criminal street gang had committed 75 to 80 percent of the violent crimes in the Atlanta community.

“They have to be rooted out of our community,” Willis said.

“It does not matter what your notoriety is, what your fame is, if you come to Fulton County, Georgia and you commit crimes, you are going to become a target and a focus of this District Attorney’s office.

Young Thug pleaded not guilty to a plethora of charges.

However, an appeals court later reversed the decision. The case is still pending.
