Young Thug’s Father Blasts Fake Love From Other Rappers After Son’s Release From Prison

by

Jeffery Williams Sr., the father of Young Thug, has a lot to say about his son’s recent release from jail following two years of incarceration over the YSL RICO case. Readers may remember that he previoulsy blasted one of the probation conditions that Thugger received, namely his ban from the metro Atlanta area without proper permission. However, Williams Sr. also has issues with how the hip-hop world responded to the Atlanta rapper’s freedom. During a recent podcast appearance, he called out rappers who tried to link with Thug after his prison release but didn’t do what they could’ve done in his eyes while he was actually in prison.

“We got all these rappers and everybody trying to find Young Thug,” Jeffery Williams Sr. expressed. “They want to talk to Young Thug, they want to this, that, and the other. Where your a** been for 29 months? Why y’all a** ain’t been out there protesting for his constitutional rights being violated? Y’all are the ones considered to be the influencers. Ain’t influencing s**t. Where y’all been? Y’all been quiet for 29 months. But now everybody want to be seen. Everybody want to try to get a chance to talk to him, this, that, and the third. For what? Let’s make it make sense.”

Young Thug’s Father Speaks Out

In addition, Young Thug’s father posited that people are clout-chasing with their current support of him when they could’ve been much clearer in their efforts from the jump. He also brought up the other people involved in the YSL RICO case and how they needed support as well, specifically mentioning Atlanta artists. Jeffery Williams Sr. also suggested that his son would do this for these peers, but that they aren’t returning the favor.

Finally, Jeffery Williams Sr. specifically called out T.I. for allegedly not manifesting an event in support of Young Thug that Williams Sr. asked for. As such, he expressed surprise at how Tip and Thug linked up shortly after his release from prison. Overall, this was a plea to keep things real and genuine. But since the Slime Season 3 artist hasn’t spoken out about this, it’s hard to make a true judgement call.

DJ Akademiks Alleges Drake Gave Young Thug $1 Million After Prison Release

by

Young Thug is now a free man, something that the hip-hop world celebrated broadly and in spades for the last week or so. Many people have their questions as to when he will pop out publicly or with new music, but we must recognize the importance of privacy and allow him to process all this at his own pace. Fortunately, it seems like the Atlanta rapper has a very strong support network thanks to his friends in both his personal life and in the music industry. For example, DJ Akademiks recently claimed via his livestream that Drake flew out to see Thugger and even gave him a big stack of cash to celebrate.

“Y’all want to hear this play I heard?” DJ Akademiks alleged concerning Young Thug and the OVO mogul. “Watch, he gon’ hit me up, like, ‘Yo, how you heard?’ ‘Cause he ain’t tell me. That’s my mans. When Thug gets let out of jail, the talk is this. They say two hours afterwards, Drake flew to Thug and allegedly gave him a mil’. Drake didn’t tell me this. Drake gon’ hit me up and be, like, ‘Who told you this?’

“Which, by the way, super strategic move,” DJ Akademiks continued. “Super strategic. Thug was in jail talking about, ‘Let’s squash all this beef.’ If I’m Drake, I need Atlanta. ‘Okay, so I got one n***a in Atlanta.’ Supposedly, Drake flew to wherever Thug was at, gave that n***a a mil’. Y’all can’t turn Atlanta against no big Drizzy, get the f**k out of here. Only the industry and insiders would know what that is. Which, I think that’s dope. And if y’all do hear Thug rap about it later, or Drake rap about it later, just remember I told y’all first, okay? That’s all.

“So, a little moving parts right here,” DJ Akademiks concluded. “Ain’t that dope? I don’t know if it was Atlanta, but flew to wherever. That’s dope. You know why that’s smart? Thug shows support for Drake when people are thinking s**t was going wherever.” We’ll see whether these MCs ever address this and what happens with Young Thug and the 6ix God.

Lil Baby Responds To Young Thug With Heartfelt Message Amid Possible Gunna Shade

by

Young Thug got out of jail this week following his plea deal in the YSL RICO case, something which has provoked a whole lot of conversations in the hip-hop world and beyond. Today (Sunday, November 3), Thugger himself stirred up the pot a little with a pretty interesting tweet that both excited and confused fans. “Wham let’s drop one on these rats peter,” he posted, referring to his colleague Lil Baby and a possible collab on the way. Fans have their theories as to what this message means, particularly the references to “rats” and whoever “Peter” is. Before getting into that too deeply, Baby himself responded to this and to the Atlanta MC’s freedom via an Instagram Story post on Sunday.

“I missed you mf !!” Lil Baby penned to Young Thug on social media. “Welcome home my brudda! Thank god you able to get back to the fam in good health and spirits! Wish ya none but billions jack! #whateverwhamsaygoes.” As for why this message is causing a lot of puzzled debate on social media, it has to do with another frequent collaborator of theirs.

Lil Baby Responds To Young Thug

Moreover, fans think that Young Thug might have been throwing shade at Gunna with this tweet at Lil Baby, since he also took a plea deal in the YSL RICO case almost two years ago. Many assumed that he was a snitch, including the It’s Only Me rapper himself thanks to what fans perceived as multiple alleged lyrical shots. In fact, some fans think that the One Of Wun artist responded to these bars as well through subliminals of his own. But fans’ real confusion stems from one of the conditions that the judge granted Thug while determining the guidelines for his 15 years of probation.

Via his lawyer Brian Steel, Young Thug asked to be able to continue to collaborate with Gunna as label mates, even though another condition was that he couldn’t associate with YSL affiliates. The judge approved this, and this mixed signal is what has fans asking questions. Still, since he also asked Drake, Future, and Metro Boomin to squash their beef, maybe he’s orchestrating a hatchet burial of his own. Only time will tell…

Young Thug Hops On Celebratory FaceTime Call With T.I. After Prison Release

by

T.I. is one of many hip-hop colleagues who celebrated the freedom of Young Thug, who recently took a plea deal in the YSL RICO case. He pleaded guilty to various counts in the indictment against him, save for a nolo or no contest plea for the RICO count and the gang leader count, which resulted in the judge commuting his five-year sentence to time served and releasing him from prison on 15 years of probation. The details are a bit more complex, but that’s the main idea. Recently, the two Atlanta rappers hopped on a FaceTime call, and Tip was with a large group of people who were very happy to see Thugger out and about.

“As far as Jeffery is feeling now, he knows my feelings, which I am not going to reveal for attorney-client privilege,” Young Thug’s attorney Brian Steel told reporters outside of the courthouse following his client’s sentencing. “But, this is not the same as a not guilty verdict. […] Nobody here wakes up every day on a concrete floor that they’re calling his bed, at 4:15. He gets shackled at his feet, his waist, and his hands, comes to the Fulton County courthouse to be on concrete, eating out of a bag, and then coming to the courthouse to sit there with a leg chain every single day, and hear lie after lie. So for Jeffery to go home today, and not have another 90 days, 120 days of [the trial], he is very happy.”

Fans were very happy with both Brian Steel’s diligence and the outcome of Young Thug’s trial. However, the YSL RICO case still has a few codefendants on trial for other charges, so the entire trial is still not completely over.

For example, Yak Gotti rejected a plea deal in his case, so some developments in the near future are still crucial to consider in the grand scheme. Regardless of how you feel about Young Thug’s release, everyone hopes that he complies with all his probation terms and turns this into a successful second chance to right any wrongs and craft a more positive and beneficial story in its wake.

Young Thug just took a plea deal in his YSL RICO case yesterday (Thursday, October 31), and he was reportedly released from prison with 15 years of probation. Of course, his freedom comes with many special conditions and considerations, but the rap community is reacting wildly to this news from the longest criminal trial in Georgia history. One of the happiest folks about all this is Thugger’s boo Mariah The Scientist, who recently reacted to his freedom during a live show. It was a very emotive moment of both prayer and responding to trolls who didn’t think this day would ever come.

“I just want to thank God for the day,” Mariah The Scientist expressed during a concert about Young Thug’s freedom. “I want to thank him for life, light, and love… for our family and our friends… for Jeff and our relationship… for covering us with the blood of Jesus, protecting us, keeping us safe. Every day. This has really been a long time coming, and it has been really hard. But I’m appreciative that you kept showing up for me and supporting me.

“There was people who was telling me I would never see him again,” Mariah The Scientist continued concerning Young Thug. “There was people who was laughing at me and laughing at our situation and making fun of us. Man, this s**t so f***ing crazy, man. This was supposed to be a prayer, hold on. Thank you, God, and Amen. Now back to me. All you motherf***ers who doubted me, and doubted this s**t, and said this n***a was never coming back, f**k all of y’all. What you gon’ say now, b***h? Now when I say Thug, we got to switch it up! […] This s**t is so f***ing unbelievable. But let’s just make it to the end so I can get on this jet. You know what I’m finna do.”

Meanwhile, this comes as others like YSL Woody are reacting to the Young Thug situation with very thankful and appreciative messages. Others aren’t so pleased, but probation and a lot of reform could lead to a brighter path ahead for the Atlanta rapper.
