Atlanta rapper Gunna has officially been released from custody, hours after pleading guilty to a racketeering conspiracy charge in the YSL gang case.

On Wednesday, he entered a negotiated plea, known as an Alford plea, in which he pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corruption Act, while maintaining his innocence on the same charge.

Gunna, whose real name is Sergio Kitchens, was sentenced to five years with one served in prison. The one-year sentence was commuted to time served.

The remaining four-year sentence has been suspended and will be subject to special conditions, including 500 hours of community service.

Gunna was arrested in May as part of a sweeping RICO indictment that includes Young Thug and other members of YSL. The trial is scheduled to begin Jan. 9, 2023.
