It goes without saying that Young Thug and Gunna have been through a lot together. Aside from teaming up for various collaborations, they were also both arrested in a 56-count RICO case in May 2022. Young Thug remains behind bars and his trial is currently underway, while Gunna was released in December of the same year after accepting a plea deal.
This led to rumors that he “betrayed” his co-defendants, which he denies. Social media users continue to accuse him of being a traitor, but Gunna isn’t letting that stop him from putting their friendship on full display. Today, for example, he shared some old photos of the two of them together on his Instagram story in honor of Young Thug’s 33rd birthday.
Gunna shows her love to the young thug
While fans are happy to see Gunna showing love to Young Thug during his lengthy legal battle, it isn’t necessarily a surprise. He frequently calls for his release on social media, at his shows, and more. He even featured Young Thug’s father, Jeffery Williams Sr., in the “One Of Wun” music video he released this month. Williams Sr. has previously said that Gunna has done nothing to harm his son’s case, despite critics’ speculation. Furthermore, he said in a chat with XXL In April, Gunna claimed their friendship had not changed as a result of the deal. “It’s stayed the same,” he told the newspaper. “It’s love, always. Our relationship is our relationship.”
As for Young Thug’s trial, there are no signs of it slowing down anytime soon.
