His lawyer, Doug Weinstein, confirmed that Yak sustained a slash wound to his scalp and required 4 to 5 staples. Fortunately, he did not need hospitalization and is expected to recover.

The Fulton County Sheriff’s Office stated the situation is under investigation to determine the aggressor and whether charges will be filed. No details have been shared about the other inmate or a potential motive behind the attack.

The timing of this incident is notable, as speculation recently surfaced after Wack 100 posted a video suggesting Yak Gotti may have cooperated with authorities.
