    In Rico, they always offer the Co defendant a sweat heart deal to go after big fish. They will say, probation or life ? Doy Probation! 🤣

    I came here cause of "Truly Humbled Under God"😂... wanted to know whats actually going on
  • @cdelane3335
    This trial is a joke and Fulton County DA's office is a mess.
  • @user-up3hf9yk3v
    Where others have pled guilty its going to be guilty all the way & many rappers have been sentenced for their lyrics.
  • @myusalocalcom
    He may be guilty of bad taste in fashion, but that's not for me to decide. Next we going to go after Denzel for what he did in NY we got that dude on film so it should be a easy RICO case maybe give him 70 years!

    FYI, sometimes art transcends and predicts future events too so
  • @marmac7619
    Frankly, i think this will set a dangerous precedent. I mean, unless the lyrics literally state: the who, when, where, how, & maybe even the why? then there's just so much conjecture. This could also seriously restrain artistic creativity in Musicians' song writing lyrics. And what about Book Writers - fiction OR non?
