During a press conference on Monday (August 29), Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis addressed the indictment of 26 suspected members of Drug Rich Gang, who are tied to a string of home burglaries of wealthy people in Atlanta. Willis tied the home invasions of Mariah Carey, Atlanta Falcons star Calvin Ridley and Future’s baby mother, Brittni Mealy to the gang.
While taking questions from the press, Willis was asked about criticism and claims that she's targeting the hip-hop community with RICO charges. Over the past couple of years, rappers including Hoodrich Pablo Juan, YFN Lucci, Young Thug, Gunna, and Yak Gotti have all been indicted on RICO charges, with none of them being granted bail.
Willis responded to the criticism, stating, "I think if you decide to admit your crimes over a beat, I’m gonna use it. You do not get to commit crimes in my county and then decide to brag on it, which you do that for a form of intimidation and to further the gang, and not be held responsible.
"Just one of the lyrics used in this indictment is: 'Me and my crew striking out, striking in all black/Send me the drop, we’ll kick in the house/If we steal a car, we’re gonna take off the tags.' Well, they're kicking in doors, committing home invasions and now I'm using those lyrics that they're admitting to doing that."
