After 7 long months, music artist Gunna has been released from jail. Footage of him leaving Fulton County Jail in Atlanta earlier today was caught on camera.
The news was met with joy from Gunna’s fans, who had been eagerly awaiting his release. After being released on bond, the Atlanta rapper took to social media to thank his supporters for their love and prayers.
Gunna shared a heartfelt message, writing: “I’m blessed to be free and I’m so grateful for all the love and support I’ve received during this time. I’m ready to get back to making music and providing for my family. Thank you all!”
The rapper’s fans are now looking forward to more music from their favorite artist. It is expected that Gunna will drop new music soon, and the anticipation is already building.
Although in jail since May, Gunna maintained his innocence. He was among 28 people charged with street gang affiliation and activity. He plead guilty to a charge in the RICO Act case filed against him.
In his statement his full statement he said:
When I became affiliated with YSL in 2016, I did not consider it a “gang”; more like a group of people from metro Atlanta who had common interests and artistic aspirations. My focus of YSL was entertainment – rap artists who wrote and performed music that exaggerated and “glorified” urban life in the Black community.
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. I have chosen to end my own RICO case with an Alford plea and end my personal ordeal by publicly acknowledging my association with YSL.
An Alford plea in my case is the entry of a guilty plea to the one charge against me, which is in my best interest, while at the same time maintaining my innocence toward the same charge. I love and cherish my association with YSL music, and always will. I look at this as an opportunity to give back to my community and educate young men and women that “gangs” and violence only lead to destruction.
