A Fulton County superior court judge denied bond to the rapper in the racketeering case. Back in February, YFN Lucci was released on a $500,000 bondafter being charged with felony murder, assault, and other crimes. He surrendered again to the Fulton County Sheriffs Office on racketeering charges last month. The defendant will remain in a no-bond status at this time. Additionally, this court revokes any bonds previously issued in this case, said Judge Thomas Cox during a bond hearing via Zoom video on Tuesday. YFN Lucci was indicted for murdering 28-year-old James Adams.
