YFN Lucci linked up with some bloods from Miami
and had them sliding on his opps in Atlanta,
but the situation went left from the jump.
Now they’re all facing years in prison
and we’re breaking down the shocking beef
that ended with shootings,
stabbings, and murder.
YFN Lucci and his homies
have been sitting in jail for years
after they got hit with a RICO and murder case.
Lucci wasn’t just sliding with dudes from Atlanta though.
Back in 2020,
Lucci linked up with some bloods from Florida called The Miami Boys.
He started making music with a rapper from the crew called CP3,
and court documents say that they helped Lucci film music videos
in a part of Miami normal dudes can't visit.
CP3 and his homie Lizzem Litty
both rep a blood set called 13th Ave,
AKA BloodHounds or BH.
BH is one of the most notorious gangs in North Miami,
and this isn’t the first time CP3 has spent time locked up.
He was arrested back in 2015 for weapon possession
and running from the cops,
then a couple years later
he caught a robbery charge and was locked up until 2020.
Going to prison obviously didn’t slow him down at all though,
because a few months later
he was in Atlanta shooting at Lucci’s opps.
In December 2020,
YFN Lucci, his homie James Adams,
CP3 and Litty went sliding into opp territory.
According to reports,
Adams was recording the whole thing on his cellphone,
but he had no idea that he was about to lose his life.
They spotted some dudes on the street,
and that’s when CP3 and Adams leaned out of the whip
and started letting off shots.
They caught one of the dudes in the stomach,
but the other side busted right back and hit Adams in the head.
YFN Lucci was the one driving
and he sped off when the opps started shooting back.
Adams might have survived,
but instead of taking him to the hospital
his homies pushed him out of the whip and left him to die in the street.
A witness found Adams bleeding out on the road
and called 911 for help.
She told the operator that he was still alive,
but by the time they got to the hospital
it was already too late
and James Adams was pronounced dead that day.
It’s not clear exactly how the cops
were able to track Lucci and the other dudes down so fast,
but in January 2021
police issued warrants for the three of them
and Lucci turned himself in.
Rumors say that Adams basically recorded everything before he was shot,
so if the cops found his phone after his homies left him in the street,
they probably had everything they needed to make the arrests.
After a couple of years fighting the case,
Lucci, CP3, and Litty
all took plea deals instead of going to trial.
They all were facing murder and RICO charges
and could’ve ended up with life in prison or the death penalty,
but instead CP3 went down for 25 years,
Litty got 15,
and Lucci was handed down a sentence for ten years in prison
and another ten on probation.
CP3 and Litty might’ve had some clout if they went to jail in Miami,
but getting locked up in Atlanta almost got CP3 killed.
In August 2023,
a video came out showing him getting jumped and stabbed
by a bunch of dudes who are allegedly affiliated with YSL.
Luckily CP3 made it out alive,
but he’s not the only one who almost died.
After Lucci got locked up,
someone tried to shank him behind bars
and Lucci claimed there was a bag on his head.
According to reports,
two YSL affiliates named Big Bhris
and Antonio Sumlin
asked Young Thug for permission to kill Lucci,
and a YSL affiliate named Jayman
is the one who allegedly stabbed him.
The war between YFN Lucci
and Young Thug’s YSL crew has been going on for years,
but back in the day everyone was cool with each other.
Young Thug and Lucci both came up in an area of Atlanta called Zone 3.
Back in the day,
Thug repped a blood set called the ROC crew,
AKA Raised on Cleveland -
then Thug later made his own lane and started YSL.
Lucci grew up pretty close to where Thug is from
but he repped a blood set called Atlanta blood gang,
or ABG,
which is also the umbrella of the Inglewood family bloods.
Lucci wasn’t even trying to be a rapper
and was focused on making money in the streets,
but his brother Kay convinced Lucci to hop in the booth
and start the YFN movement.
One of Lucci’s biggest supporters back then
was a dude named Big Nut.
Nut was known all over the city and ties to everyone,
including Thug and the ROC bloods.
After Lucci decided to start rapping,
Nut is the one who kept pushing him
and even linked Lucci up with a local manager named Fly.
Fly was also managing Rich Homie Quan,
who had strong ties to Thug.
Quan and Thug had been linking up in the studio
and planned to drop a collab tape,
but instead
Birdman added them to his Rich Gang crew
and started pushing them both hard.
Rich Homie Quan and Thug dropped the track Lifestyle which went platinum,
and their project Rich Gang: Tha Tour Part 1
ran up crazy numbers too.
Thug and Quan looked like they were gonna take over
the whole industry together,
but then in 2015
everything fell apart out of nowhere.
Fans who weren’t tapped into what was happening
inside Atlanta were shocked,
but it turns out
that behind the rap beef
there was a deadly war going down.
In January 2015,
Big Nut was standing outside a barbershop
when some shooters rolled up and shot him to death.
Rumors were flying from the jump that YSL was involved somehow,
but it took years for the cops to make any arrests.
Now five YSL affiliates have been charged,
and the cops say that Thug is the one who rented the car used for the hit.
Rich Homie Quan announced he was leaving Rich Gang
just a couple months later.
Some people think it all started with Big Nut dying,
but Thug might have actually been involved
with Quan’s dad getting shot too.
A few months before Big Nut was killed,
Quan’s dad was shot inside a barbershop
and barely survived -
and according to some paperwork that leaked,
Rich Homie Quan thought Thug had something to do with it.
Quan’s dad allegedly had issues with Birdman
and didn’t want Quan to sign with him,
and that’s why Birdman and Thug
allegedly wanted him dead.
Quan rapped about his dad getting shot on the track Daddy and said
“When I see him in that ICU room
Boy, you know I went crazy
‘Cause I couldn’t see my daddy like that,
that’s my baby
In other words,
he my best friend,
talk to him daily
Them n****s who did it to him,
I hope they praying
To God but he can’t help you in this situation.”
If Rich Homie Quan thought Young Thug
was involved with his dad getting hit up,
it makes sense that he would fall back from him.
Their beef left a lot of fans disappointed,
but Thug and YFN Lucci’s war
was about to leave a lot of bodies in the street.
The first time fans heard about the beef
was when Lucci started sending shots at Thug on social media.
He made posts about hooking up with Thug’s fiance Jerrika Karlea.
and even posted some alleged DMs
where they were talking about taking a shower together.
Thug didn’t really clap back at first.
He just tweeted a shoutout to Lucci and called him a Young King
and said he was trying to get on.
Then Lucci took the disrespect to another level
by tweeting a video of Thug’s daughter with the caption
#LONGLIVENUT4EVA
Everything cooled off for a while,
Lucci and Thug went back to popping off in the industry
with their own careers.
Young Thug dropped his mixtape Jeffrey in 2017
and ran up huge numbers,
plus the cover art went viral
because Thug was wearing a dress.
Lucci kept his own momentum up
by collabing with artists like PnB Rock and dropping new projects.
For a couple months it seemed like everything was cool,
but then in June 2017
Thug dropped a project on Tupac’s birthday.
He told everyone on Twitter that he did it
because he’s the new 2Pac.
Then Lucci tweeted
“Pac would’ve never wore a dress,”
so Thug clapped back and said
“Thank god you able to take care of ya mama,
be humble.
Doin too much could become a deep sleep.”
At first YFN Lucci and Young Thug
were just taking shots at each other on social media,
but in 2018
everyone realized how deadly the beef really was.
Thug’s homie YSL Duke was leaving a strip club in Atlanta
when two dudes started following him.
Duke knew something was up and turned around to see who it was,
and that’s when one of the dudes upped his strap and started letting off shots.
Duke ran behind a vehicle while the shots were popping off
and managed to get away without getting hit.
Someone later got booked for the shooting
and rumors were going around that Duke had snitched on them,
but then some paperwork came out
that proved he wasn’t working with the cops.
Thug and Lucci went back to the social media beef
and Thug said he was gonna slap Lucci the next time he saw him.
Then just a few weeks later,
Lucci’s car was shot up.
Police rolled up to the scene
and found Lucci’s G Wagon full of bullet holes
and somebody inside who had been shot two times.
Lucci wasn’t even in the whip
but the cops think he was the target.
Right after Lucci’s car got hit up,
someone went to Big Nut’s grave
and spray painted the word SLATT on it.
Slatt is a term that Thug and his YSL crew are always using,
so everyone immediately thought
they were the ones who painted on Nut’s grave.
That wasn’t the only time YSL
allegedly tried to kill Lucci though.
Back in 2016,
Lucci was in Florida when he got the call
that his mom’s house had been shot up.
Lucci drove straight there to make sure his mom was all good.
Somebody had dumped almost 20 bullets into the crib
but luckily no one got hit.
Then another time Lucci was at the studio
when someone told him the house got hit up again,
and this time his mom and her best friend both got hit in the legs.
Lucci’s baby mama, his daughter,
and his brother were all in the house too when it went down
but thankfully none of them got shot.
A lot of people thought YSL was behind the shootings at Lucci’s mom’s house,
and the prosecutors in Young Thug’s RICO case
claim Thug bragged about the shooting on his track Bad Boy
when he rapped
“You better watch the way you breathe around me
'for that breath be your last, boy”
“Smith & Wesson .45
put a hole in his heart better not play with me
Killers they stay with me”
“I shot at his mommy
Now he no longer mention me”
“I had on Margielas when I shot at the c***
Act like you want war and they gon’ smoke you like a blunt.”
Thug’s homie Yak Gotti also allegedly rapped about the shooting too
on the track Take it to Trial where he said
“For Slimes you know I kill”
“Trial, I done beat it twice,
state, I’m undefeated like
Feds came and snatched me,
I don’t know, no point in askin’
I was on Bleveland stuck like a magnet
B**** ass n***a, I’ll shoot at your mammy.”
Thug is still fighting his RICO case right now
and could end up getting a life sentence,
but Lucci might be coming home in just a few months.
Back in June 2023
news broke that YFN Lucci had been offered a plea deal
from the prosecutors.
They wanted Lucci to plead guilty to felony murder,
aggravated assault, racketeering,
and violation of the street gang terrorism and prevention act
and still give him a 20 year sentence.
Lucci would’ve had to serve 17 of the years behind bars
before he could walk free,
so he turned the deal down and decided to take it to trial instead.
Taking a RICO and murder case to trial is a risky move.
You never know what’s gonna go down in the courtroom
and you could end up serving the rest of your life behind bars,
but Lucci definitely made the right move in this situation.
Half a year after they offered him the first deal,
the D.A came back with another offer.
Lucci pleaded guilty to one charge
of violating the street gang terrorism and prevention act,
and in exchange all of his other charges got dropped.
Lucci still got hit with a ten year prison sentence
and ten years of probation after he serves the time,
but Lucci could be out of there in just a few months.
The judge gave YFN Lucci time served
on his ten year prison sentence
and he’s already been locked up for three years.
He’s eligible for parole after serving 40 months,
which means he could be free in less than four months.
Right after news broke that Lucci had taken a deal
and was gonna be free soon,
rumors started flying that he agreed to testify
against Young Thug during his RICO case.
YFN Lucci’s lawyer hopped right in immediately
to squash the rumors though and said it was all cap.
According to him,
Lucci has nothing to do with Thug’s case
and Lucci’s told the prosecutors over and over again
that he doesn’t know anything about the situation Thug is facing.
While Lucci was accepting his plea deal,
he apologized to the family of James Adams
and said his heart goes out to them.
First off,
I wanna say my heart goes out to my friend James Addam
and his family.
Then he apologized to his own friends and family
for putting them through this crazy situation for the last few years.
Also I want to apologize to my family and my friends
for putting them through this stressful process.
It turns out that Lucci might not be the only one coming home soon.
After the news broke that CP3 was hit with a 25 year sentence,
he hopped on social media and said
“all you f*** n****s thought it was ova for me”
with a bunch of laughing emojis.
It’s not clear where his case really stands,
but it sounds like there’s more going on behind the scenes
that nobody knows about yet -
