YSL Artist, Yak Gotti, Reportedly Stabbed in Fulton County Jail

Deamonte Kendrick, known professionally as Yak Gotti, was reportedly stabbed on December 1, 2024, at the Fulton County Jail’s South Annex in Union City, Georgia. The incident occurred amid jury deliberations in the high-profile YSL RICO trial, where Kendrick is a co-defendant.

According to the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office, Kendrick sustained minor injuries from a sharp object during an altercation with another inmate. He received medical treatment and was deemed fit to appear in court the following day. An active investigation is underway to identify the aggressor and determine potential charges.

Kendrick’s attorney, Douglas Weinstein, confirmed the stabbing and expressed concern over the lack of detailed information regarding his client’s condition. Weinstein requested prayers for Kendrick and all individuals incarcerated in Fulton County jails.

This incident adds to the complexities of the YSL RICO trial, which has been marked by procedural delays and security concerns. The trial involves multiple defendants, including prominent rapper Young Thug, facing charges related to alleged gang activities.

As the investigation continues, further details are expected to emerge regarding the circumstances of the altercation and its implications for the ongoing trial.
