ATLANTA — Atlanta rapper Gunna has entered a negotiated guilty plea to a RICO charge following the sweeping gang indictment against the alleged Young Slime Life gang, ahead of next month’s scheduled trial date.
“The defense team is extremely pleased that Sergio Kitchens, better known as Gunna, was able to resolve his case on such favorable terms,” Gunna’s attorney Steve Sadow said in a statement. “We know Gunna looks forward to both pursuing his highly successful music career and giving back to the community in which he works and lives.”
The Fulton County District Attorney’s Office said Gunna, whose real name is Sergio Kitchens, entered a negotiated guilty plea Wednesday. According to a statement released through his attorneys, Kitchens said he entered what is known as an Alford plea, which was in his best interest, and at the same time maintains his innocence.
