Lil Wayne, Future, & More Among Potential Witnesses In YSL Trial

Author Autumn Hawkins
January 5th 5:01 PM

Lil Wayne, and Future, among other rappers, are potential witnesses in the upcoming YSL trial, according to WSB-TV. The trial is scheduled to begin next week for 14 defendants facing charges in the RICO case, including Young Thug (born Jeffrey Williams).

Michael Seiden, a reporter at the local news outlet, obtained the potential witness list for Williams’ defense. The list included Atlanta rapper Killer Mike, music executives and Williams’ fiancé. On Wednesday (Jan. 4), Seiden obtained the lists for the state’s case and for one of Williams’ co-defendants, Miles Farley, the outlet reports. The state list includes 157 names connected to the Atlanta police department, 62 names from various law enforcement agencies and 125 lay witnesses. Of those serving as potential witnesses, some notable names are: Rashawn “YFN Lucci” Bennett; Dwayne Carter (Lil Wayne); Alexis “Dolly’ Grier (Young Thug’s sister); Dequantes Lamar (Rich Homie Quan) and Bryan Williams (Birdman).

But someone being listed as a potential witness doesn’t necessarily mean that they will take the stand. For example, Lucci’s attorney put out a statement that despite his client being listed as a potential witness, he will not be taking the stand.

“Rayshawn Bennett (Lucci), has never been interviewed or subpoenaed by law-enforcement, the Fulton County District Attorney‘s office or any of the party’s regarding the YSL case,” Drew Findling and Marissa Goldberg of The Findling Law Firm stated, per the outlet. “Any party can announce for example, that Abraham Lincoln is on their witness list, but those words alone are meaningless. So, to be 100% clear, Rayshawn Bennett (Lucci) will not be a witness in the YSL case.”

The list of potential witnesses for Farley included Clifford Harris, Jr. (T.I.), Nayvadius DeMun Wilburn (Future), and Michael Lamar White II (Trippie Red).

Prosecutors allege that YSL is a criminal street gang, while defense attorneys for Williams argue that it is simply a record label and clothing company.

Originally, the indictment charged 28 defendants, but eight have since taken plea deals including YSL rapper Gunna. The outlet reports that six others will be tried separately.

  • 5. “Check” Young Thug ‘Barter 6’ (2015)

    Share

    "Check" was the lead single to Young Thug's breakout commercial mixtape 'Barter 6.' London on da Track produced the record. Thug spoke to Clique on how the song came together: "‘Cause at any given time I could learn something and I really want to express it right when I learn it, like, 'Oh wow, pull the beat up.’ I got a check, like, I just got a check: 650,000. I’m in the studio, she bring me the check. I’m like, ‘What the f---.’ I’m like, ‘Got a check I got a check,’ and just made a song."

  • 4. “Hot” Young Thug ft. Gunna ‘So Much Fun’ (2016)

    Share

    On "Hot" Young Thug and Gunna trade verses back and forth. However, the making of this song had a lot of leg work for Thug's labelmate since he fell asleep during the session. “Gunna actually recorded it by himself. I fell asleep,” Young Thug said per Genius. "He played it when I woke up. I knew it was that type of song. He don’t usually even remind me of songs because we got so much music… So that’s when I knew like it must be that type of song cause he aint never gon' be like, ‘Listen to what I did last night.’ That was one of the first times he did that." "Hot" debuted at No. 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 and later peaked at No. 11 on the chart. The song was later supported by a Travis Scott-assisted remix. Two months after the remix release, the three friends made a music video. 

  • 3. “The London” Young Thug ft. J. Cole and Travis Scott ‘So Much Fun’ (2016)

    Share

    "The London" dropped in 2016 on Thug's album 'So Much Fun.' The track features J. Cole and Travis Scott in addition to Thug's contribution. The song is named after a luxury hotel located in Midtown Manhattan.  This was the first time Cole worked with Thug and Scott. Thug and Scott previously worked together on "Hot," "Pick Up The Phone," "Out West," and several more. The record received a nomination for "Best Rap Sung/Performance" at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards.

  • 2. “Pick Up The Phone” Travis Scott ft. Young Thug and Quavo ‘Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight’ (2016)

    Share

    Young Thug is the featured artist, along with Quavo, on Travis Scott's "Pick Up The Phone." The track was released in 2016 on Scott's album 'Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight.' "Pick Up The Phone" marked Thug and Scott's fifth collaboration together following 'Days Before Rodeo's' "Skyfall," "Mamacita," 'Rodeo's' "Maria I'm Drunk" and the non-album cut "Nothing But Net."

  • 1. “Best Friend” Young Thug ‘Slime Season’ (2015)

    Share

    Although there was legal drama after the release of "Best Friend," this track is arguably Young Thug's best song to date. According to Complex, Louisiana rapper and Vine star Tokyo Vanity threatened to sue the Atlanta rapper for copyright infringement after she felt as though he ripped off the hook of her cut "That's My Best Friend." The director of the music video, Be El Be, was interviewed by The Fader at the time and spoke on how the track oozes self-confidence. "If [Young Thug is] his own butler, if he’s catching himself with himself, making love to himself, if he’s in the bathroom getting changed and it’s just him and him—it’s showing his best friend is himself," he said. "That self-esteem! He’s a very stylish young man, so I would say that the inside meaning of that is that he is his own best friend."
