<p>The news of <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/charlamagne-questions-if-300-entertainment-will-stick-by-young-thug-and-gunna-news.151789.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Young Thug and Gunna&#8217;s</a> RICO charges has reignited conversations about <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/lil-waynes-tour-bus-shot-at-in-atlanta-news.15082.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Lil Wayne&#8217;s bus shooting back in 2015</a>. That year, Wayne and his crew were reportedly involved in a disagreement or <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/lil-wayne-reportedly-argued-with-audience-members-before-bus-shooting-news.15126.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">argument at Club Compound</a>, so they loaded themselves in their tour bus and went on their way. When they reached the 85 freeway in Atlanta, <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/tour-bus-shooting-suspect-allegedly-told-lil-wayne-hed-spray-his-bus-news.17014.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">several shots were fired </a>at the bus, and later, a man named Jimmy Winfrey was arrested. </p>
<p>According to reports, Winfrey&#8217;s warrant stated that he committed the crime because he wanted to<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/lil-wayne-tour-bus-shooter-says-birdman-should-be-held-liable-news.16918.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> prove his standing with his gang</a> by shooting at a rap rival. Although <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/lil-wayne-bus-shooting-suspect-turns-himself-in-news.15736.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Winfrey pleaded guilty</a> to several charges and was sentenced to 20 years, his team later argued that a judge influenced his decision.</p>

<p>His conviction <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/shooter-in-lil-waynes-tour-bus-shooting-gets-conviction-overturned-news.54002.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">was later overturned</a> and Winfrey has been a free man, but during the investigation into the Wayne bus shooting, both <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/suspect-in-lil-wayne-bus-shooting-may-be-affiliated-with-young-thug-news.15657.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Young Thug and Birdman&#8217;s names</a> were reportedly listed in that<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/young-thug-and-birdman-reportedly-named-in-indictment-in-lil-waynes-tour-bus-shooting-news.16512.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> indictment as co-conspirators</a>. They were never charged.</p>
<p>Circle back to this week when 28 people, including Thugger and Gunna, were listed in a lengthy indictment. The RICO case alleges that YSL is, according to prosecutors, a &#8220;criminal street gang&#8221; that has ties to murder, armed robbery, obstruction, witness tampering, and the plot to kill YFN Lucci while the rapper was behind bars.</p>
<p>According to <em>The New York Times</em>, Lil Wayne&#8217;s bus shooting was included <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/young-thug-and-gunnas-lyrics-will-be-used-against-them-by-prosecutors-for-indictment-news.151784.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">in the recent indictment</a> involving Winfrey and his alleged affiliation with YSL. It is unclear to what extent this will play a part in the overall case, but it further intensifies the case set against Thugger, Gunna, and 26 others. </p>
