He admitted, on the stand, that he treated YSL like a gang when he first joined. SlimeLife Shawty also read a redacted social media message, which led to confusion on the part of the defense. Young Thug’s legal team as far as to request a mistrial due to Shawty’s actions. As with any artist who has taken the stand in the YSL case, SlimeLife Shawty was subject to ridicule and mockery online. He decided to clap back, however.

SlimeLife Shawty proceeded to threw a few more threats out before calming down. The rapper tried to end things on a positive note, writing: “I’m chillin tho I luv you all.” He may not be a household name for those who have keeping up with the Young Thug case, but Shawty has been part of it from the start. He was arrested alongside Thugger and the rest of the YSL crew in 2022. Vibe reported that he took a plea deal alongside Lil Duke, and subsequently had their sentences reduced to time served.

Joe Coscarelli, a New York Times reporter, claimed that Shawty was the artist with the most career momentum before the momentum besides Gunna. Gunna has been able to maintain a successful career post-YSL indictment, but he also had hits. SlimeLife Shawty is going to have a much harder time maintaining relevance.
