The attorney representing a defendant in rapper Young Thug’s sensational racketeering trial has now been arrested on gang charges, Atlanta police announced Friday.
Nicole Fegan was arrested in Gwinnett County and transported to Fulton County on Friday and charged with “participation in criminal street gang activity and criminal solicitation to commit the crime of tampering with evidence,” the district attorney’s office confirmed.
The glamorous lawyer posted rap videos to her social media accounts and publicly bragged about getting her clients off the hook.
In 2022, Atlanta police investigated a double shooting on the city’s Northwest Side.
Police later learned that Fegan had contacted a suspect in the shooting and alerted him to active warrants for his arrest.

Young Thug is accused of leading a murderous criminal network
Fegan allegedly provided information she learned at a preliminary hearing regarding the shooting and advised the suspect, whom she was not representing at the time, to throw away his phone because police were going to arrest him.
Fegan represents Tenquarius Mender, who was involved in Young Thug, born Jeffery Lamar Williams, the highly anticipated trial in which he is accused of leading a murderous criminal network.
Georgia State’s Attorney Adraine Love has alleged that the Grammy Award winner amassed drugs, cars and weapons as his followers battled to curry favor by killing, stealing and hijacking over a decade.
His record label Young Stoner Life was merely a front for ‘Young Slime Life’, a street gang linked to the LA-based Bloods gang, while the rapper was known to his followers as ‘King Slime’, she claimed at the time of the lawsuit started. in November.
Williams faces up to 20 years in prison for the same Fulton County team that is also prosecuting former President Donald Trump under the same racketeering laws.
“They created a crater in the middle of the Cleveland Avenue community in Fulton County, sucking in the youth, the innocence and even the lives of some of its youngest members,” Love said.

Williams has been warned that his own violent rap lyrics would be used as evidence against him.
“Law enforcement didn’t chase the lyrics to solve the murders, law enforcement chased the murders and found the lyrics,” she said.
Stars like rappers Lil Wayne and Killer Mike are expected to testify in one of the most highly anticipated trials of the decade.
The 32-year-old rapper was arrested and charged in May last year, but jury selection alone took nearly ten months, amid farcical pre-trial scenes in which a lawyer was led out in handcuffs and Williams was accused of buying drugs while in the dock.
