Feb 16,2020 9:13 am

Rapper Gunna has been released from jail in The US after he agreed to enter a guilty plea to a gang-related charge.

According to local media and his lawyer, Gunna maintains his innocence despite Pleading Guilty .

The 29-year-old, real name Sergio Kitchens, was among 28 people linked to Atlanta Record Label YSL.

They include fellow rapper Young Thug , who is set to face Trial next month accused of criminal gang activity.

Gunna says he has not co-operated with prosecutors or made statements against anyone else named in The case against him.

" [I] have absolutely NO intention of being involved in The Trial process in any way, " he says.

Federal prosecutors in The US have accused YSL - Young Stoner Life - Records of being a front for Organised Crime .

They claim The label, founded by Young Thug , is responsible for "75 to 80% of violent crime" in Atlanta, where it's based.

Gunna says he joined YSL in 2016 but did not consider it a gang.

Instead, he says, he believed it was 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. " he says.

Atlanta News Station WSB-TV that Gunna has been given a four-year suspended sentence and ordered to perform 500 hours of community service.

Much of this will involve talking to Young People about The Hazards of gangs, according to The Station .

In his statement, Gunna says this will give him " an opportunity to give Back To My community and educate Young Men and women that 'gangs' and violence only lead to destruction".

Pushin P - The Song by Gunna and Future, featuring Young Thug - has been nominated for a 2023 Grammy.
