Young Thug‘s attorney and the Fulton County district attorney are expressing concern over the safety of an affiliate of the rapper’s Young Slime Life gang. Thug was arrested under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act in July. According to WSB-TV, the identity of a cooperating witness in his RICO case was revealed, prompting a slew of threatening messages.

The identity leak reportedly occurred during the discovery procedure, in which the defense and prosecution exchanged evidence that will be presented
