It’s no secret that Young Thug has a solid relationship with his lawyer, Brian Steel. The criminal defense attorney has been representing the rapper throughout his ongoing YSL RICO trial, which is on track to becoming the longest in Georgia’s state history. Late last month, the two of them were photographed mid-fist bump, an image that many have since called fit for an album cover.
Today was day 73, and saw the state present the music video for Young Thug’s 2015 Barter 6 track, “Halftime.” They played the video in the courtroom, and evidently, Thug just couldn’t help but dance. In a new clip making its rounds online, the performer is seen vibing to the track, garnering the attention of Steel who looks on and laughs.

Of course, seeing the two of them in good spirits has fans feeling somewhat relieved, though the stakes in the case remain high. Young Thug could face a hefty prison sentence if the trial doesn’t go the way he hopes. He’s appeared confident, albeit worn down in recent court appearances, indicating that the trial’s taken its toll on him. The state’s lengthy list of witnesses would likely leave anyone jaded, and Thugger’s been behind bars for two years already.
Last month, the state paired down its list of witnesses, removing several including Lil Wayne. Earlier this month, however, prosecutors attempted to introduce clips of an alleged argument between Lil Wayne and Young Thug before a 2015 shooting involving his tour bus as evidence. Judge Ural Glanville denied the attempt, insisting that it can’t be used unless Lil Wayne testifies. Birdman, Rich Homie Quan, and YFN Lucci could also potentially be called as witnesses.
