Young Thug’s brother and YSL rapper, known as Unfoonk, received a nine-year prison sentence on Monday (June 5). The decision was made by Fulton County Judge Ural Glanville after Unfoonk was taken into custody for a gun-related offense, thereby violating his probation.
In a video recording provided by Law&Crime Network, Glanville can be heard stating, “I find that, based upon the evidence presented in his case, the state has proven that you have violated your probation. You got arrested with a gun within six months of your being placed on probation, and I agree with the state that you’re not a candidate for probation… and for that reason, sir, I’m going to revoke the balance of nine years and six months, and you will serve that in the Department of Corrections.”
Unfoonk was previously released from incarceration in 2019 after spending 11 years behind bars. In an interview with B High ATL, he credited Thugger for his freedom, explaining that Thug called him and informed him that Brian Steele would be his lawyer. Unfoonk stated, “That’s the top lawyer there is. [Thug’s] like, ‘That’s your lawyer. You’re coming home.’ That was in 2017. So, I talk to Brian, and he’s like, ‘You’ll be home in two years.'”
In 2022, Unfoonk, along with other members of YSL including Thug and Gunna, was arrested on RICO charges. The indictment described the group as a “criminal street gang” originating in Atlanta’s Cleveland Avenue area in late 2012. After pleading guilty to one count of violating Georgia’s RICO act and another count of theft by receiving stolen property, Unfoonk was released from jail several months later.
