Kenneth Copeland: Last News

the rapper’s sudden death.When star witness YSL Woody, whose real name is Kenneth Copeland, took the stand, the prosecution asked him if Young Thug, 33, had a problem with Rich Homie Quan, 34, “bringing members of his gang to his apartment.”The question prompted YSL Woody to ask Young Thug directly: “Thug, did you have an issue with Rich Homie?” The incarcerated rapper appeared taken aback by the interrogation and laughed off the question as the prosecution redirected the inquiry to YSL Woody.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Shukura Ingram has recused herself from the YSL RICO trial less than 48 hours after the trial’s previous Judge, Ural Granville, was recused by the state, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports and court documents confirm. In her Order of Recusal, Judge Ingram cites an ongoing criminal case against one of her deputies.

Young Thug‘s trial has been delayed after its judge has been removed over misconduct allegations.The removal was prompted by the rapper’s lawyer Brian Steel, who was arrested mid-trial for alleged contempt of court in June.Steel was reportedly held in contempt for suggesting an alleged conversation between Judge Ural Glanville, witness Kenneth Copeland and prosecutors led to Copeland being intimidated or coerced ahead of taking the stand.Copeland himself was held in contempt last Friday (June 7) for suddenly refusing to testify despite being granted immunity.Now, Steel has filed a motion accusing the judge of holding the “improper” meeting without including defendants and their attorneys. He has requested Glanville to be replaced with another judge to oversee the trial.Meanwhile, Glanville announced in a Monday hearing without jurors (on break until July 8) that he would provide the transcript of his meeting with Copeland, cancel the next hearing “indefinitely” and send the attorney’s motions to recuse to another judge.The Atlanta rapper was originally arrested in May 2022 on gang-related charges and was later charged with seven additional felonies.He was arrested alongside fellow rapper Gunna, who are both involved with the musical collective YSL (Young Stoner Life), which has been accused of being “a criminal street gang”.Both men have denied their charges, with Young Thug having his bail denied three times.Young Thug’s case has been significantly notable for the use of his rap lyrics to accuse him of his YSL gang affiliation in trial.

Young Thug‘s lawyer Brian Steel has been arrested mid-trial for alleged contempt of court.The attorney was held in contempt of court on Monday (June 10) for refusing to reveal his source for an alleged conversation involving Judge Ural Glanville.According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (via Rolling Stone), Steel was sentenced to 20 days in the Fulton County Jail, with the attorney ordered to serve his sentence on weekends. Though Glanville commanded Steel to start on Friday (June 14), Fox 5 reports that he was successfully granted an emergency bond by the Georgia Supreme Court and will stay out of court.

Prior to this week, it had been a relatively sleepy few months for the RICO trial of Young Thug and YSL. The Atlanta rapper has sat in a Fulton County jail since May 2022, alleged by the state of Georgia to be the ringleader of a criminal street gang (six additional felonies connected to gang, drug, and firearm violations were added in August 2022).
