Gunna, who has been in jail since May 2022, released another update on his Instagram story earlier today.
The update came weeks after the presiding judge over his RICO case, along with rapper Young Thug and many other members of the YSL Records team.
Gunna's update on Instagram features a oneliner written on a black background.
Writing "God is Good," Gunna's hopeful message seemed to have sent his fans rallying even more for his release from jail.
In the past few months, Gunna, along with the other members of the gang, were denied bond release three times.
Specifically, Judge Ural Glanville noted ever since the first ruling that Gunna holds a "commanding position" from the YSL gang, he might use his resources, when freed temporarily, to direct the gang's remaining troops to intimidate witnesses.
In the most recent letter to the court, the rapper's legal team said that the government has failed to back up these allegations of witness tampering with facts. Prosecutors have allegedly "failed to verify a single instance in which one single person has actually made an accusation that Kitchens has threatened anybody."
Gunna's team is arguing that the prosecution, until now, has not provided to the court any evidence from the thousands of pages of discovery that his retention in jail is warranted. They have also pointed out that the prosecution's alleged plan to "develop evidence to support its motion" to detain Gunna has not succeeded.
"Kitchens has been languishing in jail for nearly five months. Franz Kafka would be shocked to learn that 'imprison him now; present the evidence sometime in the future' appears to be the State's reality in Fulton County," the filing says.
Gunna, along with Young Thug and the other members of the gang, remains in jail until their scheduled January 2023 trial.
Both rappers were arrested using their song lyrics' violent expressions as the sole evidence to support their grand-jury indictment.
Per Rolling Stone, Fulton Country District Attorney Fanni Willis reiterated that she would be using the rap lyrics as evidence of a crime in court despite pushback about its legality.
Gunna, along with Young Thug and other members of the Young Slime Life Records, was served with a sweeping indictment last May 2022, involving them of attempting to violate Atlanta's RICO act and a flurry of other felony charges.
