Kim Kardashian Supports ‘Free Gunna’ Movement As Rapper Petitions Jail Release

etcanada.com:

After his arrest in May, Gunna is trying to secure his release from jail through a last-ditch petition effort. Now, Kim Kardashian is adding her voice to the choir of supporters calling for his release.

Gunna, whose real name is Sergio Kitchens, turned himself in to the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office in May, and was charged with one count of conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).

As he awaits charges, the rapper’s lawyers have filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus with the neighbouring Henry County court — the location of the actual jail where Gunna is currently incarcerated.

On Wednesday, Kardashian took to Twitter to back the rapper’s efforts with a simple but effective message, simply writing “”#FreeGunna” as well as the emojis “Free” and “P,” in reference to the artists song “pushin P.” READ MORE: Gunna Turns Himself Into Police After Young Thug's Arrest in Gang and Racketeering Sting If Gunna’s petition fails, Gunna may have to remain behind bars in Georgia until January, when his case is scheduled to go to trial.
