Young Thug Awarded $1.6 Million In China Knock-Offs Lawsuit

by

Young Thug secures a big win after a three-long RICO battle that landed him banished from Metro Atlanta and 15 years probation. Thug was awarded $1.6 million against 22 businesses, the majority in China, for selling “knock-off” versions of his popular Sp5der clothing brand. Each business in the lawsuit is liable for $75,000 in payment. Information about the lawsuit(s) is scarce outside of the ruling.

The Sp5der clothing brand received huge popularity during Thug’s RICO trial. The rap star frequently wore items from the brand that eventually went viral. Drake, Lil Baby, and Mariah The Scientist were among the many celebrities who supported the clothing brand during the trial. Young Thug accepted a plea deal and pled guilty to charges in October.

Young Thug is finally back at home following a long and difficult trial. The rapper accepted a plea deal late last month and will spend 15 years on probation. In addition to this, he must follow various release conditions, including not communicating with any alleged gang members or YSL affiliates. Regardless, his fans and loved ones are glad to see him embracing his newfound freedom. Of course, he couldn’t have done any of this without the help of his lawyer Brian Steel, who received a great deal of praise once Young Thug was released.

Immediately, supporters flooded him with messages, thanking him for getting the rapper out. Now, Steel is being applauded for something else entirely: his modeling skills. Recently, Young Thug’s fashion brand Sp5der dropped a new ad in which the Atlanta attorney shows off some of the brand’s hoodies, sweatpants, and more. “This is too hard,” one X user writes in the NFR Podcast‘s replies. “They need to drop a collab album next,” another jokes.

It goes without saying that Steel has done a lot for Young Thug, but despite this, he wishes he could have done more. After the verdict was announced, he told reporters outside the courthouse that he wasn’t completely satisfied. “As far as Jeffery is feeling now, he knows my feelings, which I am not going to reveal for attorney-client privilege. But, this is not the same as a not guilty verdict,” he explained. He later confirmed that Young Thug was still “very happy” to be released. Since getting out of prison, he’s reunited with several loved ones, peers, and collaborators.

Earlier this month, for example, he was spotted in the studio alongside Travis Scott, Future, and Lil Baby. Today, his sister Dora even hinted at what’s to come in an excited tweet. “My brother is going cr*zy with the new music,” she wrote. “I promise y’all won’t be disappointed. Just give him time to heal mentally. Rmr he lost 4 ppl in 2022 and went to jail, fought a case for 2yrs. In the mix of fighting for his life we lost our sister in 2023. He’s coming.“
