Judge Allows Rap Lyrics as Evidence in Young Thug YSL RICO Trial

A judge in Fulton County, Georgia, has ruled that certain rap lyrics by Young Thug can be used as evidence in his upcoming racketeering trial. The lyrics, which include explicit content, are being used by prosecutors to prove that Young Thug and other members of the YSL group were part of a criminal street gang. Defense attorneys argue that the lyrics should be protected as artistic expression and that their use would prejudice the jury. The judge has allowed the lyrics to be admitted with conditions, requiring a complete foundation to be met. The trial, which has been delayed for months, is set to begin later this month.
