Yak Gotti’s attorney hopped on X, formerly Twitter, to shoot down claims made in a new Young Thug verse circulating online.
Thugger appears on Lil Baby’s upcoming project, The Leak$, and according to a post shared on X by Thugger Daily, Thugger takes aim at Yak in his guest verse.
“Yak Gotti tricked me for some years, I ain’t know he was telling. Only reason I fw’d with you Gunna, it was cause of Troup,” he reportedly raps.
Attorney Douglas Weinstein is calling fake news.
Yak did not say a single thing against Jeff in his interviews with the cops. I don’t know where this is coming from.
Yak had opportunity to turn on Jeff during trial to get out of the case easy. He never took it. He stood tall and took it all the way to the jury. https://t.co/WH9qRHIZuO
