After getting one of the illest plea deals possible, YFN Lucci prepares the fans for his official return with a dope cut from the vault.
YFN Lucci Hit With RICO Charges
As seen on WSB-TV in Atlanta:
Rayshawn Bennett, better known as musical performer YFN Lucci, is among a dozen suspects indicted in a 75-page, 105 count racketeering indictment focused on factions within the Bloods street gang.
“This indictment is unprecedented. Period,” Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis told Channel 2 Investigative reporter Mark Winne in an exclusive interview.
“There’s been a huge spike in violent crime,” Willis said. “I made a commitment to bring the best and the brightest minds here, many of which you see sitting here right now so that we could deal with this issue of this violent crime.”
Willis said she and her team used a YouTube Music Video entitled “Shine On” to shine the light on the alleged gang associations of the two performers, YFN Lucci and Bloody Jay, who are both named in the indictment. The indictment says the video includes lyrics promoting criminal gang activity.
Convery says investigators also used social media posts to help build their gang case.
Lucci’s lawyer, Drew Findling, told Winne his client is not guilty of all charges.
“He’s not a gang member. What he is is an internationally recognized musical artist that is a triple platinum winner, that has performed all over the United States and all over the world,” Findling said. “His first amendment right to musically express himself is no different than the famous rock song ‘I Shot the Sheriff.’ It’s not criminal activity.”

YFN Lucci Turns Himself In Over Murder Charge
As seen on AJC:
An Atlanta rapper facing a murder charge in connection with a deadly shootout turned himself in to police Wednesday evening — but not before releasing his latest music video.
YFN Lucci, whose real name is Rayshawn Bennett, was booked into the Fulton County Jail shortly before 11 p.m., Atlanta police spokeswoman Officer TaSheena Brown told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Bennett surrendered hours after releasing the video for the song “Rolled On” to his Instagram and Twitter accounts. The video was posted the day after Atlanta police announced he was wanted on murder, gang and weapons charges following a Dec. 10 shooting that left one man dead and another injured in southwest Atlanta.
