The public defenders involved in the YSL RICO case may be working for millionaires like Young Thug, but that doesn’t mean they’re bringing in the big bucks themselves. At the beginning of the month, it was revealed that lawyers who signed on to the high-profile case were awarded a salary of just $15K for a case that’s anticipated to span at least a year. On top of the embarrassingly low income, attorneys are unable to work any other files at the time, rendering them essentially unable to bring in more income with their legal expertise.
At the time, legal representative Angela D’Williams spoke out about the situation in the media, revealing that she was considering selling adult content as a way to secure more money in this tough economy. “This case is slated to last for about a year, and if you were to do the math, it would be six dollars an hour,” she previously told WSB-TV. “I need something to survive off of. We were under the impression that GPDC was advocating for us, and once they put those walls up, I’m thinking I need to start an OnlyFans.”

According to the latest update, D’Williams won’t need to turn to OnlyFans after all. Thanks to the efforts of her and other lawyers working the YSL RICO trial, the GPDC has agreed to up their pay from a measly $15K salary to $55K, marking a substantial increase. While it’s certainly not the same amount Thugger was raking in in his prime, it’s enough to not have to begin a second career as a sex worker.
Things have only continued to grow messier in the Atlanta courtroom, with Young Thug taking two trips to the hospital in recent weeks. On top of that, we’ve also seen an attorney arrested, and another avoid jail time by purchasing chicken wings. Are you still keeping up with Young Thug’s YSL RICO trial?

42 Dugg shared a desperate update on Instagram, Tuesday, in a since-deleted post on the platform. Writing from prison, Dugg explained that he believes he’s being held “without reasoning” and accused U.S. Marshalls of trying to “ruin” his life. He further claims to be being deprived of water and nutritional food.
“I need the best civil lawyer in Georgia, man,” 42 Dugg wrote in the post, as caught by XXL. He added: “I’m in jail for going to the gun range dropping dirty and failure to appear. I didn’t steal from nobody, hurt nobody, they handling me crazy.”

He further continued: “Man, I’m in this b***h heating my food up with water from the nasty a** shower—they don’t even give us hot water to heat food up. Ain’t no microwave, I can’t get no visits from my family, nothing. I’m sure they gone do some more illegal s**t but what I ’pose to die in this b***h for probation violation?” In response to the post, plenty of Dugg’s fans shared supportive messages calling for his freedom in the comments section.
Dugg’s new post on Instagram comes three weeks after he received a one-year prison sentence. He had pleaded guilty back in March for failure to surrender for service of sentence. Check out his latest update on Instagram below as reposted by 2Cool2Blog.
42 Dugg was arrested back in 2020 during a federal gun probe for which he was convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Despite being sentenced to six months in prison, he never turned himself in. In 2022, he was arrested in Ypsilanti, Michigan at Willow Run Airport. He released his last project, a collaborative mixtape with EST Gee titled, Last Ones Left, back in April of that year.

The long-spanning YSL RICO trial continues to be plagued with problems, most recently as a result of Young Thug’s health. For some time now, the embattled rapper’s attorneys have been pleading with judges to give their client bond as his well-being behind bars continues to suffer. Unfortunately for Thugger, their fourth attempt was recently denied. This took place shortly before the Atlanta native was taken to hospital earlier this week, on Thursday (May 11). After an evaluation, he was able to leave. However, new reports reveal that the next day, Jeffrey Williams returned for more medical care.
As 11Alive reports, it remains unclear if the So Much Fun hitmaker was once again given the all-clear on Friday, or if he remains in doctor’s care. “I’m concerned about his well-being, his condition,” one of Thug’s lawyers, Keith Adams, told Judge Ural Glanville yesterday. Worry for the alleged gang member’s sleep schedule, as well as his diet, have been high for Williams’ legal team. They’ve even gone so far as to describe his condition as “languishing” amid lengthy legal proceedings. For the most part, he’s apparently been restricted to eating things with minimal nutritional value, such as chocolate, chips, and other junk foods.

While they actually began in January, nearly halfway through March, a jury has yet to be selected for the trial. As Thugger and his co-defendants remain behind bars awaiting their fate, others, like Gunna, have been able to walk free after taking plea deals. Even with all the accusations stacked against him, the “Hot” hitmaker and his attorneys have maintained his innocence.
Charges the 31-year-old is facing include conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act in 2013, as well as gang activity from 2018 and beyond. Do you think there’s something suspicious happening behind Young Thug’s multiple recent trips to the hospital?

Earlier this week, it was reported that 30-year-old Rymir Satterthwaite is furthering his fight to obtain a paternity test from Jay-Z. The man, who claims to be the illegitimate son of the rapper, has been on this quest for a decade now, but Shawn Carter has managed to evade complying with the request. While Rymir’s mother, Wanda, unfortunately, passed away due to medical complications in 2019, he’s been able to unseal a signed affidavit from her and share it with DailyMail, telling the late woman’s story on her behalf.
The document in question dates back to February 2015 and contains claims from Wanda that she met Jay-Z as a teenager in New York. She was underage at the time, and he was 22. They spent a night together at his aunt’s apartment in Brooklyn, according to Mrs. Satterthwaite. At the time they did use protection, but it ultimately “broke,” resulting in a pregnancy. Though Rymir’s mother insisted on the 4:44 artist’s paternity until her dying day, attorneys for Carter have been denying all claims made by the family for the entire duration of their legal battle.

“I met Shawn Corey Carter in fall 1992. He identified himself as ‘Rock,’ through my friend Kaleesha Allen who is an eye witness,” Wanda wrote in her affidavit. “Mr. Carter and a friend came to Philadelphia to pick up both me and Kaleesha around the area of 24th and Bolton Street,” she added, noting that the father of three may not recognize her legal name, as she went by Carmel, or Precious at the time. “After talking, drinking, and dancing, my girlfriend went off to the room with Shawn’s friend, and I went with [him],” Mrs. Satterthwaite further recalled.
The documents provided by Rymir also contain details from Wanda about what Jay-Z was wearing during their meeting. Hov apparently took a trip back to Philly with his friend a few weeks later to see the girls but only found Satterthwaite, who refused to leave with the New Yorker at the time as she didn’t want to upset her mother. “I never saw him again until a year later on television, but still had no idea of his real name until later and did not know how to reach him.”
