Chris Brown dealt with his own legal issues throughout his career In 2009, he pled guilty to one count of assault with the intent of doing great bodily injury in connection to a physical altercation involving his then-girlfriend Rihanna. I know what are going through. I think we always got a spotlight on us anyway, Chris Brown told Big Boy. We got a lot of power and responsibility, but also people dont like that influence as well. So that also put targets on our backs. Young Thug & Gunna Plead Not Guilty Prosecutors charged Young Thug with Conspiracy to Violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) and Participation in Criminal Street Gang Activity. Authorities accuse the Go Crazy hitmaker of drug distribution and weapons possession as well. Gunna was also indicted on RICO charges. As the District Attorney of Fulton County my number one focus is targeting gangs, and theres a reason for that, they are committing conservatively 75% to 80% of all of the violent crime that we are seeing within our community and so they have to be rooted out of our community, stated Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis. Mr. Williams has committed no violation of law, whatsoever. We will fight this case ethically, legally, and zealously. Mr. Williams will be cleared, stated Thugs defense attorney, Brian Steel. Ill tell you the response to any allegation; Mr. Williams committed no crime whatsoever, and we will fight to my last drop of blood to clear him. Young Thug and Gunna maintain their innocence.
