The trial of Young Thug and his YSL codefendants is entering its 27th day in Fulton County as attorneys for the prosecution and defense continue to argue over the connection between the rapper's online persona and possible gang activity.
The defense and prosecution spent much of Tuesday arguing through the witness over Young Thug's use of gang imagery, with the attorneys for the defense arguing that gang symbols are prevalent in popular music.
As part of their crossexamination, the defense has referenced Snoop Dogg's 2022 Super Bowl halftime show performance, Lil Wayne's tattoos, other references to the hiphop group Rich Gang, and more.
One thing of interest on Tuesday involved Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who is currently under investigation because of her relationship with Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade during their investigation into former President Donald Trump for interference in the 2020 election in Georgia.
One of the defense attorneys mentioned Willis as he was wrapping up his crossexamination of Belknap. The defense attorney pointed out that Willis had previously represented YSL cofounder Fremondo Crenshaw, who was not indicted. When an objection was raised by the prosecution, the attorney declined to proceed.
