Young Thug Unable To Control His Laughter In Viral YSL Trial Clip

Young Thug couldn’t contain his laughter during a court appearance, earlier this week, when his attorney, Brian Steel, made an analogy about the YSL RICO case. “This is all to me like I have a bag over my head, and I’m getting smashed with a baseball bat, and I have no idea where to hit because I don’t have anything,” Steel jokes in a video going viral on social media. In the background, Thug breaks into laughter.

“Love to see him still remaining positive lol,” one user responded to the clip on X (formerly Twitter). Another wrote back: “I wouldn’t even be capable of laughing anymore after going through what he’s going through for 2 years … glad he still has his spirits up.” One more agreed: “It makes my heart smile to see him still able to smile and find humor in the situation because after this fiasco of a trial I would not be able to hold my composure in that court room. I would have been removed for being belligerent a LONG time ago.”
