New Indictment Alleges Young Thug & Birdman Plotted To Kill Lil Wayne
Wow, this is jarring news to wake up to. After months of tension between Lil Wayne and Birdman that included multiple lawsuits and expletives (and drinks) thrown, the drama has taken a very dark turn.
A new indictment announced by Atlanta WSB-TV’s Mike Petchenik reveals that Birdman and fellow rapper Young Thug allegedly conspired to murder Weezy. The reports arose after the tour bus incident back in April, where shooter Jimmy Carlton Winfrey allegedly followed through with Thug’s request. He was since charged with multiple counts, including terroristic threats and criminal gang activity.
The documents also reference Young Thug’s “Halftime” music video (released in June), which shows Winfrey holding an assault rifle. Neither Thug or Birdman have been charged, but they are cited as suspects by prosecutors. This news comes after Young Thug was arrested by U.S. Marshals after reportedly threatening to shoot a mall security guard in the face.
