Trontavious Stephens, a self-admitted co-founder of Young Slime Life (YSL), testified in court that YSL was intended to be a music label, not a gang. However, his involvement in crimes while part of YSL led to perceptions of the group as a gang. During his testimony, which is part of a plea deal agreed upon in 2022, Stephens distinguished between the positivity of the music label and the negativity associated with gang activities. Despite this, his plea deal acknowledges YSL as a criminal street gang, and he also admitted to being a member of another gang, Roccrew, which later became known as YSL. The trial is set to continue with further testimony.

Stillwell was hospitalized but is reportedly recovering. The trial was recessed due to a trial participant's ongoing medical issue. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has accused Young Thug of being the co-founder of a criminal street gang responsible for violent acts. Stillwell is among six defendants who have pleaded not guilty to all charges and are standing trial. Another inmate has been charged in connection with the stabbing.

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.
Police have made the first arrest in the 'flash mob' robbery at a YSL store in a Los Angeles mall, where 30 thieves stole $400,000 worth of merchandise. Ivan Isaac Ramirez, 23, was apprehended, while another suspect, Brianna Jimenez, 21, is still at large. The robbery was part of a series of similar incidents where large groups overwhelm employees and quickly grab as much as they can before fleeing. Ramirez has been charged with organized retail theft, burglary, grand theft, and conspiracy. The police chief has stated that more arrests will follow.
Gunna has released a new track titled "Bread and Butter" in response to Lil Baby, Lil Durk, and Quality Control boss Pierre "Pee" Thomas.

However, Lil Gotit disapproved of the song and even his deceased YSL rapper brother Lil Keed would have disapproved of Gunna's actions.
Anastasios Manettas, an attorney for defendants in the YSL gang trial, was arrested on charges including simple battery against a law enforcement officer after throwing a cellphone at a captain.

The trial has been disrupted by chaos, including one defendant screaming from a holding cell and two others yelling in the courtroom.
