Rapper Lil Woody Steps Away from Music, Cites Life Changes in FOX 5 Interview

Rapper Lil Woody has announced that he is stepping away from making rap music. In a wide-ranging interview with FOX 5, he discussed pivotal moments that led to this decision, including:

• A dirt-bike crash that he says shifted his perspective on life,

• His involvement and testimony in the high-profile YSL RICO trial,

• And his choice to leave gang life behind, marking a major turning point in his personal journey.

Lil Woody’s exit from the music scene appears to reflect a broader effort to separate himself from the legal troubles and street life that have shaped much of his past. His name became widely known in connection to the YSL (Young Slime Life) RICO case, a sweeping indictment involving rapper Young Thug and others accused of gang-related activity under Georgia’s racketeering laws.

Whether motivated by safety, legal considerations, or personal growth, Lil Woody’s decision signals a desire to start fresh and redefine his future — away from the spotlight and the streets.
