In other news, YSL co-founder Mondo recently admitted that Gunna did not snitch on Young Thug in the ongoing YSL RICO case.
In a lengthy Instagram Story, the rapper/record executive (real name Fremondo Crenshaw) walked back previous statements that Gunna had told on Thug to secure a plea deal and his subsequent release from jail.
Mondo wrote: “I’m man enough to say I should’ve never spoken about the Gunna situation because technically he didn’t rat. He just kinda folded under pressure & should’ve just stayed down with his mans till everything was over cause all the originals know he ain’t did nothing wasn’t even around from the beginning.”
He continued by claiming that somebody else actually snitched on Thugger: “So he wasn’t going to do no real time regardless I feel bad cause now a n-gga who literally is a real live rat running around the city getting glorified & smiling like he ain’t just send multiple n-ggas to jail. I was so mad & hurt at the same time that my brother going through this shit after he turned a lot of n-ggas up.

“That’s the only reason I started talking about Gunna but I’m a real n-gga in real life. Ain’t no mystery in my history. I’m not afraid to say when I was wrong & saying Gunna is a rat was dead ass wrong but I can’t take nothing back. I just got to stand on whaat I said & take whatever comes with it.”
Mondo also praised Gunna for continuing to rep YSL in the more than two years since Young Thug’s arrest, with his last two albums A Gift & A Curse and One of Wun both being released through the label.
