Slaughter Gang affiliates were also reportedly detained with Young Nudy and 21 Savage.

New details surrounding the arrest of 21 Savage and Young Nudy have emerged. The two rappers were arrested in Atlanta on Sunday and are presently in the custody of officials. However, one fact that's been overlooked is that two other men were taken into custody with them who's identities have yet to be revealed. Complex reports that the two previously unidentified men appear to be Slaughter Gang affiliates.

SG Tip, real name Kalil Deshon Smith, was taken into custody on Feb 3rd -- the same day 21 and Nudy, whose real name is Quantavious Thomas, were arrested. Dekalb County Police documents reveal Smith was taken in on allegations of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and violation of street gang terrorism and prevention act. The booking information reveals the arrest happened around the same time as Young Nudy. 

Initial reports claimed that Nudy and 21 Savage were in the same car when they were arrested which was disputed by Nudy's tour DJ, DJ BJ. W. Scott Smith, Nudy's lawyer, said that the warrant that was issued for the rapper's arrest was later cleared by the ADP. However, Dekalb police seemed to pick it up.

The fourth person who appeared to be detained along with 21 Savage and Nudy is another Slaughter Gang affiliate, 21 Roc, real name Raquinn Jones. His booking number is one number off from Tip's. Jones was taken in on Feb 3rd on possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and violation of street gang terrorism and prevention act charges.

In the most recent updates on their documents as of today, Jones and Thomas' charges fall under "no bond or not bondable." No information on Smith's bond wasn't available but the publication states this likely means his charges also fall under "no bond or not bondable."

SG Kendall posted picture in relation to the arrest that included 21 Savage and Young Nudy as well as SG Tip and 21 Roc. 21 Savage's co-manager, Kei Henderson, also shared photos of Young Nudy, 21 Roc and SG Tip to her Instagram story.
