Here is Winfrey in the aforementioned 'HalfTime' video:
Judging by Petchenik's tweets, this could simply be a case of a prosecutor wildly connecting sensational dots -- which is why Thugger and Baby aren't being charged.
Or it could be they really think there is something to it, and they are trying to roll Winfrey.
Lil Wayne's obviously had his problems with both Young Thug and Birdman.
He's actually been saying kind words about Thugger lately, but his feud with his former daddy seems as deep as ever.
Update: According to TMZ, the indictment states Winfrey called a cell phone owned by Birdman moments after he shot up Wayne's tour bus.
