Young Thug’s Dad Reaffirms Gunna Support With Appearance In “One Of Wun” Video

by

There’s been a lot of speculation about Gunna and Young Thug’s relationship in recent months, particularly as the latter sits behind bars amid his RICO trial. Despite Gunna being arrested in the same indictment, he was released at the end of 2022, prompting rumors that he “snitched” on his codefendents. He denies this, though that’s done little to quell critics’ suspicions.

Regardless, Gunna insists he still has a solid relationship with Young Thug. He even seems to be on great terms with his father. The hitmaker unveiled a new music video for his track “One Of Wun” earlier this week, and Jeffery Williams Sr. makes an appearance. The basketball-themed visual also features Tyran Stokes, Brandon McCoy Jr., Parker Robinson, Jayden Wilkins, and Romelo Hill from Overtime Elite.

Young Thug’s Dad Speaks Facts In Gunna’s New Music Video

While fans are certainly glad to see Williams Sr. in Gunna’s latest video, they’re not necessarily surprised. In June, he was spotted turning up at the “fukumean” performer’s show in Atlanta as the rest of the crowd cheered him on. Obviously, he’s still cool with Gunna, despite whatever critics may have to say about it. He even came to the hitmaker’s defense amid snitching rumors last year, insisting that Gunna didn’t turn his back on his son.

“I love Gunna,” he told Infamous Sylvia. “Gunna hasn’t done anything whatsoever that can hurt us on this case. Period.” Gunna also claimed that the case hasn’t harmed his relationship with the YSL founder during an interview with XXL this year, insisting that nothing has changed. “It’s the same. It’s love, always,” he told the outlet at the time. What do you think of Gunna’s new music video for his track “One Of Wun”? What about Young Thug’s father, Jeffery Williams Sr., making an appearance in the basketball-themed video?

Young Thug’s Dad Turns Up At Gunna Show: Watch

Amid the relentless “snitching” allegations that have plagued Gunna for months, Young Thug’s father Jeffery Williams Sr., always seemed to have had his back. The rapper took a plea deal at the end of 2022 after getting arrested on RICO charges along with 27 other alleged YSL members, including Young Thug. He was released shortly after and immediately hit with speculation that he had turned his back on his co-defendants. He denies this, but regardless, the debacle has left a lasting mark on his reputation.

During an interview with Infamous Sylvia in September of last year, Williams Sr. came to Gunna’s defense. He insisted that he hadn’t done anything that would harm his son’s case. “I love Gunna,” he admitted at the time, though it did little to quell the controversy. Now, however, he’s stepped out yet again to show his love for the rapper.

This appears to support the claims Gunna made during an interview with XXL earlier this year. When asked about his relationship with Young Thug and whether or not it’s changed, he insisted that they’re on the same terms they’ve always been on. “It’s the same. It’s love, always,” he told the outlet. What do you think of Young Thug’s father, Jeffery Williams Sr., having the time of his life during Gunna’s recent performance in Atlanta? Can you blame him?

Young Thug’s Dad Says His Son Shoudn’t Take A Plea Deal

by

Young Thug’s Dad, Jeffery Williams Sr., professed his son’s innocence in a new interview, stating that the rapper shouldn’t take a plea deal. Speaking with Infamous Sylvia on Friday, Williams Sr. addressed Thug’s upcoming case.

“I can’t answer that because I’m not him,” Williams, Sr. responded to Sylvia’s questions about a potential plea deal. “I’m his father. My son is not guilty of a lot of things that these people [prosecutors] probably sayin’ about him.”

He continued: “As a father, if they came to him with a plea deal and he left it up to me to give him the advice. I would tell him, ‘No.’”

Williams Sr. added that prosecutors would not offer Thug a plea deal if they had a strong case against him.

“A plea is a let out,” he added.

Thug’s father’s interview comes in the wake of several YSL members taking plea deals. Gunna was released from prison, earlier this month, after agreeing to enter a guilty plea. His attorney, Steve Sadow, has stated that he doesn’t intend to testify against Thug or any other members of YSL. He’s also reaffirmed that Gunna did not snitch to get offered the plea deal.

Williams Sr. also says that he plans on being present in the courtroom throughout the trial.

“I’m a parent. I’m a father,” he stated, before adding “I’m not that daddy who just there. Right now, it’s me and him against the world.”

Young Thug’s trial will begin on January 9, 2023. He faces several gang related charges among other various felonies.

He added that the “Ski” rapper has never been convicted of a felony and has notable worldwide popularity, calling him “the Babe Ruth of the musical industry.”

Fulton County Magistrate Court, Judge Robert Wolf said that he could only rule on bond in the case of the 7 new felony charges, as the initial indictment is under the review of Fulton County Superior Court.

Despite the strong plea from Thug’s defense, Judge Wolf sided with the state denying bond, while citing a possible flight risk. He added that Thugger would pose a risk of committing additional felonies if he were released.
