On the Thursday edition of “Closer Look,” journalist George Chidi discusses the ongoing investigation surrounding the indictment of rappers Young Thug and Gunna.

Both Jeffery Lamar Williams and Sergio Giavanni Kitchens — known professionally as Young Thug and Gunna, respectively — have been denied bond following their arrests, along with several other suspects accused of RICO law violations and affiliation with Young Slime Life.

The Fulton County district attorney’s office describes YSL as an Atlanta street gang suspected to be responsible for over 50 murders as well as a litany of drug and gun possession charges.
