Young Thug Accepts Plea Deal In Atlanta’s “Trial Of The Century”
Young Thug might be going home sooner than expected.
The YSL rapper, who’s been behind bars since 2022 on a sprawling Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act indictment in Fulton County, accepted a plea deal on Thursday (October 31) after agreeing to plead guilty (or “nolo”) to multiple charges, including possession of a machine gun and more.

The conclusion to Young Thug’s trial arrived after three of the remaining co-defendants in Atlanta’s “trial of the century” reached plea deals over the last 72 hours. Rodalius Ryan and Marquavius Huey entered guilty pleas the day after Quamarvious Nichols accepted a deal.
Ryan pleaded guilty to conspiracy to violate Georgia’s RICO Act. Judge Paige Reese Whitaker sentenced him to 10 years, which was commuted to time served. Ryan remains in custody as he’s serving a life sentence for murder. Huey pleaded guilty to conspiracy to violate the RICO Act, aggravated assault, robbery, gun and gang charges.
The judge sentenced Huey to 25 years with nine to be served in prison. The rest will be spent on probation with five years suspended. Huey has already spent two years in custody. Now, only Yak Gotti and SB remain; the former has opted to take it to a jury.
The hearing is currently ongoing and being streamed live on YouTube. Thug’s sentence has yet to be announced. Stay tuned.
