Kevin Liles Petitions Against Rap Lyrics Being Used In Court Amid YSL RICO Case
Liles then went on to reference the sweeping Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act violation charges that’re being levied against 28 rappers, including Young Thug and Gunna.
The situation, which kicked off last month, notably relies on the rappers’ lyrics being utilized as evidence that they were involved in criminal gang activity — a legal strategy that could land many artists in hot water.
“Currently in Georgia, multiple artists belonging to Young Stoner Life Records — including Grammy-winning artists like Young Thug — are facing more than 50 allegations, including RICO charges which claim the record label is a criminal gang,” he noted.
“The allegations heavily rely on the artists’ lyrics that prosecutors claim are ‘overt evidence of conspiracy.’ In the indictment, Fulton County prosecutors argue that lyrics like ‘ready for war like I’m Russia’ are a confession of criminal intent,” Liles continued. “This shameful and un-American practice must end.”
