It’s an Alford Plea… He’s pleading guilty but maintaining his innocence because pleading guilty is in his best interest.

Channel 2 Investigative Reporter Mark Winne was the only television journalist in the courtroom Wednesday as Gunna, whose real name is Sergio Kitchens, faced a judge.
The rapper entered a negotiated plea, known as an Alford plea, in which he plead guilty on one charge because it was in his best interest while maintaining his innocence on the same charge.
Gunna was sentenced to five years with one served in prison. The one-year sentence was commuted to time served. The four-year remaining balance on his sentenced has been suspended and will be subject to special conditions including 500 hours of community service.
After the sentence came down, the rapper released a statement, saying:
“While I have agreed to always be truthful, I want to make it perfectly clear that I have NOT made any statements, have NOT been interviewed, have NOT cooperated, have NOT agreed to testify or be a witness for or against any party in the case and have absolutely NO intention of being involved in the trial process in any way,” the rapper said in a statement.

Gunna, Young Thug and 26 others were arrested in May in a sweeping gang indictment that claimed YSL is a violent criminal street gang that has committed multiple murders, shootings and car-jackings over the course of a decade. Prosecutors said that the rappers promoted the gang’s activities in songs and on social media.
In his statement Wednesday, Gunna said that when he joined YSL in 2016, he didn’t consider it a gang, but “more like a group of people from metro Atlanta who had common interests and artistic aspirations,” Gunna wrote. “My focus of YSL was entertainment -- rap artists who wrote and performed music that exaggerated and ‘glorified’ urban life in the Black community.”
Gunna said he cherishes his association with YSL music and always will. He said he would look at his release as an opportunity to give back to his community and educate young men and women on the destructive nature of criminal street gangs.
Young Thug remains in jail.

So in other words, he snitched.
To paraphrase the Marvelous one, it's tough to get up in prison when you're used to silk pajamas.

He ratted:
Gunna said he cherishes his association with YSL music and always will.
In the plea agreement, which was obtained by Channel 2, the rapper swore that he has personal knowledge that members or associates of YSL have committed crimes in furtherance of the gang and seemed to distance himself from “YSL the gang” vs. “YSL the label.”
“I recognize, accept and deeply regret that my talent and music indirectly furthered YSL the gang to the detriment of my community,” Gunna acknowledged on the signed statement. “YSL as a gang must end.”
Gunna also attested in the plea deal that he was in a car with Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffrey Williams, when officers pulled the car over and found hydrocodone, methamphetamine and a firearm inside. According to the plea agreement, Gunn claimed the gun and drugs weren’t his. It’s unclear if anyone else was in the car at the time.
