Folks all over rap Twitter are talking about the shocking arrest of YSL's defense lawyer in their RICO case, who reportedly got out on a $40K bond according to WSB-TV. Moreover, the court charged Nicole Fegan with participation in criminal street gang activity and criminal solicitation to commit the offense of evidence tampering. Of course, this is still under scrutiny at press time, and little is known about how this could potentially affect the current trial of Young Thug and others. It certainly doesn't paint well in terms of the optics, though, as prosecutors will most likely try to turn this in their favor. But we've still yet to see whether there's any truth behind these accusations in court.

To be clear, Fegan is not on Young Thug's individual team, specifically, but she represented other YSL members as part of the collective's full defense team. However, this is far from the only scandalous story of note when it comes to this case's main players. This time around, it's on the defensive end, but those pushing the case towards conviction also became embroiled in other accusations of wrongdoing. Fulton County, Georgia's District Attorney Fani Willis, who is also prosecuting a case against Donald Trump, faces allegations of having an inappropriate affair with another prosecutor.

Nevertheless, Young Thug and YSL's legal battle continues, and likely will not slow down due to these situations. It's possible that this will throw a wrench into court proceedings, which are moving steadily these days, but it's a tight race to call. After all, maybe this will simply exempt Fegan from this courtroom, or her case might come separately. Either way, fans had a lot to say about this, whether it's memes about her supposed posts on Instagram or genuine discussion around it. You can check out some of these takes down below.
