Young Thug Publicly Slams Gunna: “I Don’t Know U”

by

At the end of last month, Young Thug was finally released from prison after over two years. He accepted a plea deal in the YSL RICO case, and will now spend 15 years on probation. In addition to this, the rapper must abide by various release conditions, including not communicating with any YSL affiliates. The only exceptions to this rule are his brother and Gunna, with whom he was granted permission to work in the future.

This led many fans to assume that he and Gunna were on good terms, despite rumors that Gunna “snitched” on Young Thug. Now, however, it appears as though that’s not the case. Today, Young Thug took to X to publicly diss Gunna, suggesting that they’re no longer friends.

Young Thug Goes After Gunna Following Prison Release

“Gunna stop acting like we friends on the internet, I don’t know u my guy,” the now-deleted tweet reads. Most social media users believe this is a response to Gunna reposting a promo post teasing new Young Thug music on his Instagram Story earlier today. Of course, supporters are in shambles as they share their reactions to the post on X. The post arrived shortly after DJ Akademiks claimed that Young Thug allegedly sent messages to various rappers in which he accused Gunna of snitching on him.

“Young Thug told everybody that Gunna was a snitch. I’m telling you this, I don’t give a f*ck if you believe me,” he alleged during a recent stream. It also comes a few days after Young Thug seemingly teased a Lil Baby collab and sparked rumors that he was shading Gunna. “Real plea deal jack!” he wrote in one tweet, followed by “Wham let’s drop one on these rats peter.” What do you think of Young Thug’s new tweet about Gunna?

DJ Akademiks Accuses Young Thug Of Telling Various Rappers Gunna Is A “Snitch”

by

Late last month, Young Thug was finally released from prison after a long and chaotic trial. The rapper accepted a plea deal, and will now spend 15 years on probation. On top of that, he must abide by several release conditions, including not communicating with any YSL affiliates. The only exceptions are his brother and Gunna, with whom he specifically requested permission to work again.

This appeared to indicate that he was on good terms with the “fukumean” performer, despite rampant snitching allegations that resulted from his own plea deal in the case. Last weekend, however, Young Thug took to X with his first post-prison tweet. It left his followers confused, as many suspected he could have been throwing shade at Gunna while teasing a Lil Baby collab. “Real plea deal jack!” his first tweet read, followed by “Wham let’s drop one on these rats peter.”

Of course, it’s unconfirmed exactly what he meant by this, but it got fans speculating regardless. Now, during a recent stream, DJ Akademiks made an interesting revelation about Young Thug. According to him, he allegedly sent messages to various rappers including Lil Baby and Lil Durk telling them that Gunna was an alleged snitch. “Young Thug told everybody that Gunna was a snitch. I’m telling you this, I don’t give a f*ck if you believe me,” he alleged.

This isn’t the only surprising claim DJ Akademiks has made about Young Thug and his associates as of late, however. During his recent stream, he also said that Drake flew to Young Thug’s location shortly after he was released from prison and gave him a whopping $1 million.

Young Thug Fans Suspect Cop Allegedly Wore His Missing $1.7M Watch To Court

by

Young Thug was finally released from prison last week after accepting a plea deal. The rapper’s issues may not be completely over, however. According to various reports, his $1.7 million Richard Mille watch is allegedly missing after being seized by authorities following his arrest. Now, social media users have some theories about where it could be. Many of them involve a police officer who recently took the stand in the YSL RICO trial.

In a clip from the courtroom, he’s seen wearing a watch that some fans theorize could allegedly be Young Thug’s. Of course, this is unconfirmed, but some Instagram users in The Neighborhood Talk‘s comments are convinced regardless. “Cops be the ones you gotta watch the most sometimes,” one of them writes. “Now why would he wear that to court?” someone else wonders.

Social Media Users Think Police Officer Allegedly Stole Young Thug’s Richard Mille Watch

Others argue that the watch the police officer is seen wearing in the clip can’t the same watch that Young Thug is missing. Either way, his supporters are having a field day with their theories. It looks like Young Thug has more to worry about than a missing watch these days, however, as he’s been busy reconnecting with old collaborators and friends following his release from prison.

Recently, for example, Metro Boomin hopped online to tease what appears to be an upcoming collab with him. Young Thug also posted his first post-prison tweet over the weekend, which seemed to hint that he has a new song with Lil Baby coming sometime soon. What do you think of social media users speculating that a cop could have allegedly stolen Young Thug’s watch and worn it to court? Do you think this is possible, or too far-fetched?

Young Thug & His Lawyer Brian Steel Speak To Emory University Law Students

Last week, Young Thug accepted a plea deal following nearly two years of trial and was finally released from prison. The rapper will spend 15 years on probation and abide by several release conditions, but his supporters are thrilled regardless. It looks like Young Thug is making the most of his newfound freedom, reconnecting with old collaborators and friends. He even recently chatted with some students at Emory University School of Law, thanks to his lawyer Brian Steel.

In a new photo, Steel is seen standing in front of a group of students on a FaceTime call with Young Thug. Both of them appeared to be in good spirits, though it remains unclear exactly what they discussed. They have a huge win under their belt, however, meaning Steel could impart some serious wisdom to the lucky students.

“All of a sudden i wanna go to law school,” one X user jokes. “Brian Steel ain’t stopped working yet,” another says. Steel has been receiving a great deal of praise for his work throughout Young Thug’s trial. This only increased once the artist was released. Following the verdict, Steel spoke to reporters outside of the courthouse. He made it clear that he wasn’t completely satisfied, pointing out that he still believed his client deserved to be found not guilty. “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 went on, noting how while the verdict wasn’t exactly what they were hoping for, they at least managed to get Young Thug out of jail and back home to his loved ones.

Young Thug’s Lawyer Reveals They Turned Down Plea Offer That Would’ve Sent Him Home Today

by

Young Thug just took a plea deal in his YSL RICO case on Thursday afternoon (October 31), pleading guilty for all charges except the RICO count and the gang leader count, for which he pleaded no contest. Basically, he neither denies nor admits the charges, but agreed to accept them, their sentence, and the fine. While writing this article, the State and the defense are making their cases for their desired sentence, which the judge will eventually make a final decision on in this non-negotiated plea deal. The State requested a sentence of 45 years with 25 years to serve and 20 on probation.

However, Young Thug’s lawyer Brian Steel clarified that they did not accept the State’s previous plea deal offer that would’ve had him go home today (Thursday, October 31) with 15 years of probation. He did not want to testify and did not accept the special conditions the District Attorney insisted on, and thus moved forward with this non-negotiated plea deal. This comes after various other plea developments in the YSL RICO trial. For example, Yak Gotti refused a plea deal.

Still, various other YSL codefendants took plea deals, so this case began to close up more and more up until this monumental moment. Regardless, we still don’t know exactly what Young Thug’s plea deal will result in as far as a sentence, how it could change the situations of other defendants, and what the implications of this plea deal are. This is still very early in development, and the State went forward with presenting some final arguments about lyrics and alleged text messages. We still don’t know exactly what were the special conditions that Thugger and his legal team denied in their pursuit of a plea deal. Thug’s attorney Brian Steel expressed that they disagree with most of the prosecution’s arguments, and pushed back on some of their evidence and allegations arguing misrepresentation, omitted evidence, and misstatements.

Meanwhile, amid other plea deals, it seems like this case will finally end after making history as the longest criminal trial in Georgia history. We’re sure that Young Thug and company will still have a lot of legal matter to handle in the aftermath if this really is the end, which we don’t even know for sure. But everyone is on the edge of their seats waiting to see what the judge decides and what other developments could emerge. With all that in mind, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest updates.

Young Thug Sends Mariah The Scientist A Sweet Message In Court As Mistrial Rumors Continue

by

Young Thug and the rest of the YSL codefendants in their RICO case might get a huge update soon, but until then, Thugger is still holding his relationship down in court while he hopes to make it out. Today (Thursday, October 24), he reportedly wore a hoodie that read “I [heart] Mariah” – a nod to his boo Mariah The Scientist – according to TMZ Hip Hop. She’s been incredibly supportive of him throughout all this, carving out the time to visit as frequently as possible, advocate for his freedom, and speak about his everyday updates. Even though they have no idea when they’ll see each other again, it seems like they are still going as strong as ever. Check the picture of the hoodie out by clicking the “Via” link down below.

Furthermore, Young Thug wore this hoodie as the judge reportedly cleared the courtroom to talk to him, also dismissing proceedings for the day. The court in the YSL RICO trial will convene again on Monday morning (October 28), where the judge will possibly make a decision regarding the defense’s latest call for a mistrial and potential plea deals for codefendants. Still, the volatile and unpredictable nature of this case makes it hard to predict whether or not the defense will secure their motion this time around.

As for Mariah The Scientist, here’s what she recently said of Young Thug during her appearance alongside Latto on Angel Reese’s podcast. “So, I be going to court…” she expressed regarding their long-distance relationship. “Sometimes I fall asleep in there. But I just go to [breathe] his air. […] He’s been locked up now for longer than we was in a relationship before he got locked up.” In addition, Mariah also clapped back at people criticizing them online, something that she’s sadly had to do quite often.

Meanwhile, witnesses in the Young Thug and YSL RICO trial are taking all the hate on the chin, such as SlimeLife Shawty. Well, not all of them, as Woody recently apologized to Thug for placing a lot of blame on him when he’s allegedly innocent. We’ll see how the rest of the trial goes, and if the Atlanta creative and Mariah The Scientist will reunite sooner rather than later.

Young Thug Trial: Judge Rules On Mistrial Motion After Her Scathing Takedown Of The State

by

Judge Paige Reese Whitaker has had enough. She’s overseeing the RICO trial of Young Thug and other YSL codefendants, and you don’t need us to tell you how complicated and controversial it’s been so far. Moreover, on Monday (September 30), the trial’s 138th day, Judge Whitaker issued explosively called out the state for allegedly dragging the case out and recklessly developing it in unclear, backhanded, and secretive ways. This discussion emerged over a new motion for a mistrial, one that the collective’s defense team has prioritized and advocated for over most of the trial so far.

“I mean, I can’t figure out what it is,” Young Thug and YSL’s judge’s scathing takedown began. “If it’s disingenuous, if it is that. I mean, I don’t want to malign the prosecutor standing in front of me right now. So I’m not going to say the possible things that it could be. But it is baffling to me that somebody with the number of years of experience that you have, time after time after time, continues to seemingly purposefully hide the ball to the extent that you possibly can for as long as you possibly can. And I really don’t want to believe that it is purposeful.

“But honestly, after a certain number of times, you start to wonder how it could be anything but that,” Judge Whitaker continued her remarks to the prosecution in the Young Thug case. “Unless it is just that you are so unorganized that you are throwing this case together as you try it. And I am sorry to say that. But this case is being made much more difficult for everybody because of the haphazard way in which it is being presented. I’m going to take a recess for a few minutes. I’ll have a ruling when I get back.”

Mistrial Denied

However, according to Thugger Daily, Judge Whitaker denied this mistrial motion in the Young Thug case. Of course, this doesn’t entirely close the door on another try for the defense team. But considering how damning these comments were and her crystal-clear dissatisfaction, if this incident didn’t do it, we don’t know what could.

Young Thug’s Brother Erupts On YSL Mondo For Doing Interviews Amid RICO Case

by

Unfortunately, Young Thug may be in court for a lot longer. It seems that every YSL defendant is doing something that could possibly derail any sort of positive progress. YSL Woody has been the main proponent of acting out of pocket in the court room, even making up fake names to “snitch on”. However, it seems that YSL Mondo could be another catalyst in extending Young Thug’s appearances before a judge. According to No Jumper, the record label co-founder is doing too many interviews in the eyes Young Thug’s brother, Unfoonk. Currently, there’s a clip going around of Mondo blasting Woody for being “the biggest rat” he knows on the Its Up There Podcast.

Apparently, those two have been beefing amid this RICO Case and Unfoonk thinks it’s a bad look for Mondo to continue to speak. Even the popular Young Thug fan account on X, THUGGERDAILY, is calling him out. Unfoonk explained why this only making things worse in his eyes on an IG story while putting Mondo on blast. “N**** really doing interviews talking about sum they don’t know smh”, Unfoonk begins.

“Its a reason why wasn’t around u n****, save all dat cap s***, clout chasing a** n**** smh.

Mondo then took the time to clap back on X, saying that everything he’s saying is “1 million percent true” and that Unfoonk “been hating” on him since the latter got out of prison. Mondo then left things off with a threat, saying “I suggest you be quiet before I say some that’s gone hurt your feelings! You should be the last person talking period!!

Lil Woody Goes Viral For Asking Judge If He Can Show Up Late To Court

by

Lil Woody has been one of the largest elements to the YSL Rico trial so far. Overall, the case has had recusals, alleged tampering, and all sorts of twists and turns. At the center of it all is Young Thug, who is facing serious prison time if convicted. However, Woody has proven to be a bit of a wild card in all of this. He is the star witness who is supposed to provide the prosecution with testimony that could sink Thug’s chances of winning. That said, the witness has also been uncooperative, and that is to put it mildly.

Every single day, Lil Woody appears to go viral for his antics during the trial. There are days where he is simply cracking jokes, or others where he will speak for a little bit and then completely change the subject as to delay the process. Yesterday, Woody went viral yet again, this time for his question to the judge about Friday’s proceedings. Woody was told he had to come to the courthouse for 9 AM. However, he ended up asking the judge if he could come for 10 instead.

Clearly, 9 AM was simply a bit too early for Woody in this case. It was yet another example of how he may not be taking this all that seriously. As for the judge, she had a bit of a laugh at the question, although she did tell him that he was to report to the court at 9 AM, no ifs, ands, or buts. For now, it remains to be seen how Friday will go. All we do know is that a lot of people just want Thugger to be free, and they want that to happen sooner rather than later.

Young Thug’s Lawyer Files Another Motion To Recuse Judge Glanville

by

With the Young Thug case going on endlessly, his lawyer is doing whatever he can to ensure a speedier finish. With the trial extending beyond 12 months, Brian Steel has seen enough of Judge Glanville. Consequently, the lawyer for Young Thug is filing a supplement motion to recuse Glanville and Judge Rachel Krause. This news comes just a few weeks after Steel put forth his first motion. DJ Akademiks, as well as a crime and public safety writer for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution broke this just hours ago.

In the motion from Steel, he states, “Mr. Williams’ trial is constitutionally broken based upon the unconscionable misconduct of Judge Glanville”. He even adds in a handful of lawyers (Love and Hylton) who he feels cannot be trusted”. Additionally, the reason Steel wants Krause gone is because she helped with the reelection of Glanville. Overall, this additional motion harkens back to the time that Glanville organized a private meeting with a witness in the RICO case, YSL Woody.
