We haven't heard much from Gunna these days, but he may be lying low. In December, Gunna was the first YSL co-defendant to be released from jail after accepting a plea deal. Seven others would follow suit, and since then, Gunna has faced "snitch" accusations. He and his lawyers have denied cooperating with the authorities, but the very allegation casts a dark shadow.
The controversy has reached Bandman Kevo, who is demanding his money back for a feature from Gunna. He took to Twitter to voice his frustrations. "I paid gunna last year for a feature 250k," Kevo wrote. "And months later he got a caught case which put my feature and everything else got put on hold , just for him to get released and snitch."

"I can't do a song with dude I need my bread back asap," Kevo also shared. "And if they cap im going big lawsuit." This may seem like an innocuous tweet, but Kevo's sentiments may be felt by others in the industry. Although there isn't proof that Gunna snitched, artists have seemingly been distancing themselves from the "Pushin P" hitmaker. Fans have noticed that rappers have unfollowed Gunna on social media, while others have condemned his plea deal in interviews.
Meanwhile, Young Thug and over a dozen co-defendants face RICO charges that could lock many of them up for life. It has been maintained that YSL is a record label and not a criminal organization, but prosecutors are committed to convincing a jury otherwise. Upon his release, Gunna shared a statement saying he took an Alford plea in his best interest.

"My focus of YSL was entertainment - rap artists who wrote and performed music that exaggerated and 'glorified' urban life in the Black community," he said at the time. "While I have agreed to always be truthful, I want to make it perfectly clear that I have NOT made any statements, have NOT been interviewed, have NOT cooperated, have NOT agreed to testify or be a witness for or against any party in the case and have absolutely NO intention of being involved in the trial process in any way."
Despite the statement, he still faces scandal. Gunna has also advocated for Young Thug's release.
