YSL Woody Speaks Out, Addresses Emotional Apology to Young Thug: 'I’ll Never Forgive Myself'
In recent months, YSL Woody has been a focal point in discussions surrounding Young Thug’s RICO trial.
Known for his controversial role as a key witness, Woody has publicly acknowledged fabricating statements to law enforcement, raising eyebrows across the hip-hop community.
During the trial, Woody candidly admitted to misleading authorities, revealing that he invented fake individuals to implicate.
His shocking testimony included claims he falsely blamed Young Thug in past incidents to evade police pressure. He testified, describing how he felt cornered:
“The police kept locking me up for whatever they could, Every time I counted the door, the police was on me, and they keep bringing up Thug’s name. So what I did was to get ’em out off me, I said, ‘Thug did this. Thug did that. Thug,’ because I knew they were—I knew he didn’t do it.”
However, in a recent emotional video, Woody expressed profound regret over his actions.
He conveyed heartfelt sentiments about the distress he has caused Young Thug and his family.
"The pain, the suffering, everything I've caused on him and his family... I wish I had the mindset and the strength that I have now. I'll never forgive myself. I took him through a process that I never should have took him through. Even though I know I'm not the cause of it, despite how anybody may feel, it's wrong"
