While Atlanta rapper Gunna waits for his trial in Fulton County, Georgia, prosecutors have leveled some new, severe accusations against him. Prosecutors allegedly stated that a nurse was captured trying to sneak a bag of cocaine and marijuana into the jail, purportedly for Gunna.
The woman dropped the bag and fled when she was confronted. Steve Sadow, the legal representative for Gunna, flatly refuted all of the charges, saying, “None of the allegations made today, these so-called new allegations, are accurate.” “All they’re looking for is for their son to get a fair shake, and they don’t think that’s happening so far,” Sadow continued, adding that Gunna’s parents are starting to worry about the worst.
Over the weekend, pictures of the nurse and the narcotics she tried to bring in started circulating on social media, which isn’t exactly helping Gunna’s RICO case. But since his arrest in May, the 29-year-old has steadfastly defended his innocence.
On June 14, Gunna’s birthday, he penned an open letter that read in part, “2022 has been one of the best years of my life, despite this difficult situation. This year I had the whole world pushing P,” the letter begins. “Growing up from where I come from in a marginalized neighborhood, I never dreamt my art would change my life and the lives of my loved ones.
“My entire life, I’ve seen Black Men, Black Women and Black Children constantly attacked, hated, murdered, berated, belittled, silenced, judged, used and held captive.”
Gunna is accused with conspiring to break the RICO Act on one count. He will remain in jail until his trial in January 2023 after being refused release on Thursday (July 7). The same 56-count indictment also includes Young Thug, who will stay behind bars until the trial.
