As the Young Thug/YSL RICO trial continues to dominate headlines, one figure has emerged as the most controversial and unpredictable witness: Kenneth Copeland, aka Lil Woody. His testimony has gone viral, turned chaotic, and even comedic — making him a centerpiece in what has become Georgia’s longest-running criminal trial.

Here are the 10 most unforgettable ‘Lil Woody’ moments from the courtroom:

 “I Don’t Recall” – The Catchphrase of the Century

Lil Woody has become infamous for his consistent response to nearly every question:

“I don’t recall.”

Even when confronted with video evidence of previous confessions, he repeatedly refused to affirm details, frustrating prosecutors and becoming a meme online.

Smirking While Admitting to a Shooting

During a dramatic moment in court, Lil Woody smirked as he admitted to shooting up a barbershop. He explained that his original statements were designed to shift attention toward Young Thug — a moment that had prosecutors scrambling to clarify his position.

Calling Out Young Thug from the Stand

In a surreal twist, Lil Woody looked directly at Young Thug and asked aloud:

“Thug, did you have an issue with Rich Homie Quan?”

The courtroom burst into laughter as even Thug himself cracked a smile. It was one of the few moments of levity in an otherwise grim trial.

Correcting the Lawyer – “Say It With Your Chest”

Lil Woody interrupted a line of questioning by defense attorney Brian Steel to challenge him for not fully pronouncing the n-word during a quote.

“What is ‘n’?… You mean ‘n**ga’, right?”
The moment was both shocking and oddly humorous.

 Hidden Audio Bombshell Sparks Court Chaos

Woody’s leaked video — secretly recorded during a proffer session with prosecutors and law enforcement — sent the courtroom into turmoil. The clip implied promises of leniency in exchange for cooperation, raising ethical questions about the trial’s integrity.

 Firing His Lawyer Mid-Testimony

During Day 89 of the trial, Woody turned on his own defense attorney and declared in front of the judge:

“She fired.”

The incident was so unexpected that the judge had to pause proceedings. Social media quickly dubbed it the “most Atlanta courtroom moment of the decade.”

 Turning Hostile on Prosecutors

Once considered a star witness, Woody flipped on the prosecution. He accused them of trying to make him responsible for people’s lives, saying:

“Y’all want me to say things that’ll get people hurt or locked up.”

He was officially labeled a “hostile witness,” something rarely seen with someone initially cooperating with the state.

 Acting Sleepy and Disengaged

From yawning audibly to slumping in his seat and rolling his eyes, Woody’s demeanor often bordered on disrespectful. At one point, the judge reminded everyone that decorum must be maintained — despite Woody’s antics.

Telling the DA to “Back Up” Over Smell

In one bizarre moment, Woody interrupted proceedings to tell the district attorney to step back from him because of an alleged body odor issue, saying:

“Man, get back.”

The courtroom gasped. The clip, predictably, went viral.

Releasing a Song Called “I Don’t Recall”

Outside the courtroom, Woody tried to capitalize on his newfound notoriety. He dropped a song titled “I Don’t Recall” and began selling merch featuring courtroom phrases. Critics accused him of mocking the justice system — but the track racked up views instantly.

Conclusion: A Trial Within a Trial

Lil Woody’s chaotic testimony has become a trial within the trial, with observers debating whether his behavior is hurting the prosecution’s case more than helping. From dramatic reversals to viral catchphrases, he’s turned what should’ve been a solemn criminal proceeding into one of the most meme-able trials in hip-hop history.

Whether Young Thug walks free or gets convicted, one thing is clear: Lil Woody’s legacy in this courtroom will not be forgotten.
