Could a Chief Keef and Drake party be on the way? Drake dropped a picture saluting Young Thug and calling for him to be free and Chief Keef dropped off a special message in the comments: “Don’t forget them vocals crody.”

Drake is continuing his support for Young Thug. Before Drake started, his extended stay with Los Angeles shows, he uploaded pictures in a new “STOP RICO” hoodie supporting Young Thug. “3 the guys out the you know…” he captioned the post.

With Young Thug behind bars, the YSL team got a bit creative for the “Oh U Went” video featuring Drake. The new video has Thugger’s bars being rapped by community members and children, showcasing a bright summer day. The Boy pops in with videos from North Memphis, where he turns up with a squad of kids in an alluring Black and White scene.

Young Thug & Donald Trump Indicted On RICO Charges By The Same District Attorney

You might’ve never expected it, but now Young Thug and former president Donald Trump have something in common. Moreover, both faced RICO charges headed by the same District Attorney, Fulton County’s Fani Willis. Of course, you most likely know about Thugger and YSL’s RICO case already, which has been one of the biggest rap stories of the past few years. However, amid already mounting legal trouble for No. 45, he now faces a 41-count indictment for election interference in 2020 in Georgia. Furthermore, this is now Trump’s fourth criminal case he was indicted on, and comes amid his run for president in 2024.

Now, he has until August 25 to turn himself into authorities, and so do the other 18 codefendants in the indictment like Rudy Giuliani. These specific charges claim that Trump engaged in organized criminal activity to tamper with the last election process in the state. Apparently, a crucial bit of evidence in the case relates to a January 2, 2021 phone call between Trump and Giuliani, plus several of the former’s lawyers. They allegedly spoke to Georgia’s then-Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, pleading for him to look into claims of voting irregularities and find more votes for Trump.

Fani Willis Brought Charges Against Both Young Thug & Donald Trump

What’s more is that this mounts Donald Trump’s accountability that he attempts to dismiss amid another run for the White House. One of them relates to alleged hush money payments to Stormy Daniels prior to the 2016 election, and that falls under New York state jurisdiction. However, another two cases are based on federal charges. There’s his scandal relating to classified documents after he left office in 2021, and accusations of tampering with the 2020 election related to the January 6 Capitol riots.

Meanwhile, with Young Thug’s RICO case as complex and in limbo as ever, this means that Fani Willis’ office has a lot to handle. While this is a curious connection between the two, there’s obviously very different implications and public perceptions at play in these cases. Regardless, people will continue to keep an eye on these legal battles, and maybe there are more similarities to come. On that note, log back into HNHH for more news on Donald Trump and the latest updates on Young Thug.

Mariah The Scientist Declares Young Thug Her “Baby Daddy” During Festival Set

Mariah The Scientist was among many great artists who performed at the 2023 Outside Lands music festival in San Francisco on Friday (August 11). Moreover, her engaging set saw a highlight when she took a moment to address a more personal and pressing issue at hand. Of course, you might know the Atlanta native not just as a compelling artist, but also as Young Thug’s flame, who’s currently in prison on RICO charges related to his YSL collective. During her performance, she confirmed the extent of their relationship and expressed strong support for his freedom. Furthermore, the crowd was incredibly receptive to this, and called for a prompt prison exit along with her.

“Now, you know I got a man,” Mariah The Scientist told the large crowd before her at the Outside Lands festival. “He locked up. Free my baby daddy!” Then, the crowd erupted in a “Free Thug” chant which the R&B singer fired up and directed, which was a great sight to see. Young Thug’s court case has been one of the biggest and most complicated rap stories of the past few years, and it looks no closer to commencing. With that in mind, many want the Atlanta trap pioneer to enjoy himself and escape these conditions ahead of the real trial’s inception.

Mariah The Scientist Calls For “Baby Daddy” Young Thug’s Freedom

While Mariah The Scientist never publicly confirmed a romance with Thugger, their social media presence certainly made it clear. For example, they thirsted over pictures of each other in the past, regardless of whether Young Thug was behind bars or not. In addition, the 25-year-old tweeted of her longing for him while he’s in prison, lamenting the fact that he’s not by her side. Rumors flared all the way back in 2021, and it’s kind of wild to see how far they went without official confirmation from either, even though it was pretty clear-cut.

Meanwhile, just like the rest of us, there’s not much else Mariah can do but wait for case updates and support YSL from afar. Hopefully her family life and personal struggles can see some healing if she’s able to see Jeffery again. Until then, at least she has a whole fanbase behind her.

Young Thug Helping His Lawyer In Court During Hearing: Watch

Young Thug and YSL’s RICO case is still hanging in an odd limbo state, but that’s not letting the defense team get their spirits down. Moreover, a video recently emerged online of Thugger helping his lawyer Brian Steel with proceedings during a court hearing. Specifically, it seems like Steel enlisted the Atlanta trap pioneer to help him take some notes down, as he put pen to paper when the judge clarified some numbers. It may be a very small and, for many, meaningless task, but it’s not every day you see defendants being an active part of the courtroom process. At best, it serves as a heartening symbol for both Thug and Steel working their hardest to make their case together.

Furthermore, both have done everything they can to both move this trial forward and get the freedom they seek. The last update on this case was the defense team moving to exclude evidence of alleged goat sacrifices from the trial. Of course, this was a bizarre and concerning development, if only because of the dark and mysterious nature of the act and its ludicrousness when said out loud. Regardless, it’s similar to other motions to dismiss artifacts, statements, and other pieces of evidence that could paint Young Thug and YSL in a negative light in ways that don’t relate to the indicted charges.

Young Thug Takes Notes During Hearing

Unfortunately, many of these efforts have not worked out in their favor. The BUSINESS IS BUSINESS MC saw multiple denials of bond, the most recent of which came after a hospital scare. With jury selection still underway amid multiple delays, it could be a long time before the trial actually gets up and running. Despite the suggestion that the developments right now are moot, there’s been no shortage of wild and consequential layers added to this story.

Meanwhile, fans still appreciate any chance to see Jeffery throughout all this. Sometimes, he looks distraught, whereas on other days like this note-taking instance, he seems to keep his head up through it all. All fans can hope for is that his health is much better now, and that this long wait doesn’t take a tougher toll on him.

Drake Supports Young Thug With Custom “STOP RICO” Hoodie

Drake has collaborated with both Young Thug and Gunna in the past. However, as the former artist remains behind bars, it’s become increasingly clear where the Canadian’s loyalties lie. Gunna gave us a surprise featureless record earlier this summer. Shortly after, Thugger relied heavily on the support of his pals to drop BUSINESS IS BUSINESS from jail. Drizzy appeared on two titles “Parade on Cleveland” and “Oh U Went” – one of which finds the YSL leader throwing shade at Wunna.

The DS4EVER artist was released on a plea deal earlier this year. Jeffrey Williams, on the other hand, has been denied bond several times. He’s believed to be a flight risk, among other things, by those overseeing the RICO investigation, leaving him locked up as the jury proceedings continue. It’s unclear exactly how long it will be before all 12 members are selected. Still, the So Much Fun hitmaker is surely tired after already awaiting his fate for over a year. Thankfully, much of the music industry is standing behind Young Thug as he continues to stay strong.

On Friday (August 11), Drake made it clear that his “Way 2 Sexy” collaborator is on his mind. He notably donned a white “STOP RICO” hoodie for a series of mirror selfies. The artwork on the sweater is an animated take on Thug’s Jeffrey mixtape album cover. Of course, there were some political touches added in to enhance the message. “3 the guys out the you know…” the Scorpion artist wrote in his caption.

As he continues across North America on his It’s All a Blur tour, Drake has been feeding his fans with consistent Instagram content. Most of it comes from the antics that unfold at his concerts by attendees or celebrity friends, but this weekend, he shared adorable new photos with his young son, Adonis. See what Lil Yachty had to say about his friend’s photo dump at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Lil Uzi Vert Wowed By A Magic Trick In New Video

Lil Uzi Vert is on top of the world right now. The rapper just released their highly anticipated new album Pink Tape. The project became the first rap album to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 this year. It sold 167k units in its first week which placed the album among the biggest first-week sales debuts of the year so far. In a recent interview with GQ, Uzi opened up on a number of things like their relationship with Yeat and their admiration for Young Thug. Now in a new video released as a part of an attached photo shoot, Uzi encounters an impressive magician.

In the clip, a magician starts by guessing what Lil Uzi Vert is thinking of. Perhaps unsurprisingly, she correctly guesses Pop-Tarts, a snack that the rapper has long been vocal about their love for. But Uzi’s mind isn’t really blown until she makes a full plate of snacks appear right before their very eyes. Consequently, Uzi’s reaction of sheer disbelief is something mirrored by many fans in the comments watching the same thing. “this sh*t really scary asf bruh” reads one of the top comments. “that’s witchcraft not magic” agrees another. Additionally others just point out how hilarious Uzi themselves is in the video. “Uzi shy asf😂,” reads one of the top comments on the post.

A post shared by Our Generation Music (@ourgenerationmusic)

Lil Uzi Vert’s relationship with Young Thug seems to extend beyond just their friendship. Uzi has long credited Thugger as a musical influence, so much so that they’re planning to release an entire album tributing his sound. Uzi’s new album Barter 16 is expected to drop this year.

For the record, they worked with two frequent Young Thug collaborators Birdman and London On Da Track. Subsequently, promotion for the project has even gone as far as Uzi dressing up as Thug for public appearances. Though it doesn’t have a release date yet Uzi has been teasing the project to fans since Pink Tape dropped. What do you think of the clip of Lil Uzi Vert being amazed by a magician? Let us know in the comment section below.

Lil Uzi Vert Reveals The First Person To Visit Them After Rehab

Lil Uzi Vert has a LOT of allies in hip-hop. The rapper has been dating JT of City Girls for years and spoke about their strong relationship with Young Thug in a recent interview. Frequent collaborators like Nicki Minaj have also repeatedly come to Uzi’s defense. In a new interview with GQ, Uzi explained another meaningful relationship they’ve developed in hip-hop. Before Uzi released their massively successful new album Pink Tape they did a stint in rehab. Now they’ve revealed who they talked to every single day while in rehab, Yeat.

The up-and-coming rapper can be a bit mysterious even to fans and his music has certainly divided people. But he cites Lil Uzi Vert as a major influence and after reaching out to them, a friendship was sparked. Uzi talks about becoming a mentor to Yeat while in rehab as the pair reportedly talked almost every day. And when Uzi came home, Yeat was the first person there to greet them. The section of the article ends claiming that the pair got to recording music quickly. The pair have already released three of those collaborations. The first two popped up on the deluxe edition of Yeat’s 2022 album 2 Alive. The third is called “Flawless” and it serves as the opening track of Yeat’s album Lyfe.

Lil Uzi Vert And Yeat’s Friendship

Fans in the comment section had a lot to say about Yeat’s character. “Love him or hate him, Yeat seems like a really nice dude,” reads one of the top comments. “yeat always been a real ass dude, finna text bro rn,” agrees another. It’s yet to be seen if Yeat will appear on Lil Uzi Vert’s upcoming new album Barter 16. The project will pay tribute to Young Thug and sees Uzi working with Thugger collaborators like Birdman and London On Da Track. They even went as far as dressing up like Young Thug during a public appearance last month.

What do you think of Yeat being the first person to visit Lil Uzi when they were released from rehab? Let us know in the comment section below.
