Rap star Young Thug believes that poor people should be banned from ever having children.
Someone posted an Instagram a video of Thugger, who was born in Atlanta as Jeffery Lamar Williams, going off on a tirade about the number of Black children who are born into extremely humble circumstances.
Thug started off the inflammatory video by pronouncing that “God needs to set some rules, bruh.”
“We need new rules,” the “Lifestyle” rapper barked into the camera. “If you dead broke, if you a broke a– n—-, you should not be able to nut. You’re bringing poor kids into this world, f— n—-. You’re making n—– rob and kill and steal because you’re running around with no type of career, no nothing.”
“Now your kids growing up wanting s—. Your kids growing up looking at Thug and his gang,” the 30-year-old added.
Some fans chastised the Georgia rapper by pointing out his allegedly flagrant hypocrisy and accusing Thug of once committing similar types of illicit offenses that he’s now pontificating about.
I was w/him till he said making them rob and steal etc. I understand the circumstances give them a higher chance at those crimes but you can raise broke children to make better decisions.

Thugger, who became a father in his teens and now has six children, was not always in an enviable financial tax bracket, some fans attest. However, others believe that Thugger has a point in his diatribe.
This isn’t the first time that Thug has gone off on a public rant about toiling in the lower socioeconomic strata. Back in 2015, Thug railed on social media about how a man of lesser financial means can be the custodian of a child who was fathered by a rich man.
I just wanna no y should a peasant with no job, or future, or apartment/house/condo have custody of a rich mans child!! I'm lost …
