Besides working with the artist, Metro Boomin was recently vocal about how he felt about the YSL indictment, which had Gunna and Young Thug confined. In a number of tweets he posted on May 13, the producer revealed his disbelief at the attempt of the Fulton County District to use the rapper's lyrics against them.

He wrote, "Using song lyrics to indict n--gas is lame af and a joke. These the same lyrics that have made billions for these corporations over the past decade. I'm waiting now to see who gon step up and use those same resources now that the coin has turned."

Metro Boomin also said that the group wasn't a gang, and they served as a means to help underprivileged black people. "YSL is not a gang and never been a gang fool. YSL is a registered LLC and has provided countless jobs and opportunities for underprivileged black people, and really just all people cause that's how big Thug heart is," he wrote.
