He was booked into Fulton County Jail and is set to appear in court on Wednesday.

Alleged gang members have been accused of committing violent crimes to collect money and promote its reputation, Fox5 revealed.

District Attorney Fani Willis said: “It does not matter what your notoriety is, what your fame is, if you come to Fulton County, Georgia, and you commit crimes, … you are going to become a target and a focus of this district attorney’s office, and we are going to prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law.”

Gunna is among 28 people charged in a racketeering case.

Court documents claim that the rapper was part of a gang that’s “terrorized Atlanta for decades”.

It comes just days after fellow rapper Young Thug was arrested.

Young Thug, 30, whose real name is Jeffery Lamar Williams, is said to be a founding member of Young Slime Life (YSL), a criminal street gang that started in Atlanta in 2012 and is linked to the Bloods, prosecutors allege.

Williams is accused in the indictment of theft by receiving a stolen handgun in 2013 and threatening to kill a mall employee after being barred from the premises in 2015.

He’s also accused of possessing methamphetamine, hydrocodone and marijuana in 2017.

Brian Steel, Young Thug’s lawyer, said the rapper is innocent and vowed to vigorously defend him until it is proven.

His attorney told The Sun: “Jeffery Williams, who performs as “YoungThug, ” vehemently denies the allegations lodged against him in the Fulton County (Georgia) Indictment of May 9, 2022.”
