Young Thug, born Jeffery Williams, faced a dramatic courtroom scene where he pleaded guilty to six counts, including gang activity, drug, and firearm possession.
The judge asked Mr. Williams if he was ready for a non-negotiated plea; he looked stricken and conferred with lawyers before ultimately accepting.
Prosecutors painted Young Thug as King Slime, leader of a gang that terrorized Atlanta, linking his rise in music to his criminal activities.
His guilty plea could result in a recommended 45-year sentence, 25 of which would be served in custody, followed by 20 years on probation.
