Rapper Young Thug reportedly has a tenuous grasp on his mental faculties as he continues to languish in confinement as he prepares for his upcoming his RICO trial.


Thugger is approaching the one-year mark since his arrest on a blizzard of charges related to alleged involvement in gang activities, drug dealing, violence and even murder.


The YSL founder’s attorney spoke up on his behalf in a fourth attempt to get Thugger — whose real name is Jeffrey Williams — a bond so that he can properly recuperate in time for the start of the trial which is moving along at a glacial pace.

Attorney Brian Steel told the court that Young Thug is suffering both mentally and physically due to being housed in a tiny jail cell, lack of exposure to the outdoors and the son as well as bad jail food of chips and chocolate.


Steel added that he has “previously put forth compelling evidence, without doubt, that conditions can be imposed which permit bond to be set,” according to 11 Alive. 

The lawyer also said that Thugger does not pose a risk to society and should be released. 

“Mr. Williams is not a risk to commit a crime and he’s not a risk to flee the jurisdiction and that’s what bond is about,” he said.

Fans have voiced concerns for the “Relationship” rapper’s eroding health and deteriorating mental state as they’ve seen the rapper laying his head on the courtroom table out of either exhaustion, angst or being broken emotionally.

      1. The lil boy using Yung thug as his name should be enough to know that he ain’t no thug cuz thugs thrive in the joint. Where’s all that stuff swag now? He complaining about the food and it’s damaging his physical n mental..NEGRO PLEASE..If you choose to be in that life then you gotta know what it’s hitting for..how many brothers n sisters been in jail going thru what he’s going thru and NEVER get bail

          1. Yeah but you at least probably got a bond and were able to be ready when it was time to do that jail time most people usually do get that that’s what he’s asking for

        1. I’m one of them or I was denied a bail reduction but I survived cause I had money of my own to put on my books even though mfers was stealing from me as well and I’m no big time at all

      1. What law states that? Bond is set depending on how likely the person is to run and how severe the crime. Never read that law

    1. FRDERAL GOVERNMENT DOES NOT HAVE TO SET BOND TO ANYONE ! I was incarcerated in the “feds” for conspiracy, something much lesser and I had NO BOND !!
      Out of curiosity why would you make music and publicly boast about crimes your involved in ? Makes no damn sense . Why would you cry about being locked down when you play a role of being super thug out in the streets ? He isreally not about that life or he would be doing time and not letting time do him !! Big Facts !!! He needs to change up ,utilizing this time to get right and get molded into a new man with a different way of thinking. Hope this time blesses him for the bigger picture.

  1. This is really interesting, You’re a very skilled blogger. I’ve joined your feed and look forward to seeking more of your magnificent post. Also, I’ve shared your site in my social networks!

  2. Live by the sword die by the sword. It’s only a matter of time. If you do the crime be prepared to do the time.

    1. Eddie Tate, it will soon be America’s time to die by that same sword!!! Lol….. since U like to use tht…All the wrong white America has done is about to come to pass!!!

        1. We move under the guise of stealth. Before u know it ur home is burni6and ur dead inside.

      1. Ha please. Gotta stop killing each other before you come after the “white america” as you so ignorantly put it. Please tell me what was done to you personally that you didn’t bring on yourself? Please tell everyone here what terrible things the white man did to you? Oh lemme guess not enough welfare money, put you in jail for something you did? Or wait maybe your food card got taken away because you tried to sell it on Facebook. Please tell us…

          1. That’s the dumbest most ignorant thing I’ve ever heard, you wanna fuck Becky for free thats what you have to say in this argument? You my friend belong in prison

        1. There’s not enough room to quote what white amerikkka has r hasnt done. Try being freed from bandage. 4 million strong. With absolutelNOTHING. U had white as a foundation. We left with nothing. Entered into Jim Crowe with nothing. If u reaped a reward from ur forefathers… ur gained today. The Homestead act. Jim crow. Laws of miscegenation. PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP. ur 5th generation grandparents did to kidnapped folks and u benefitted. The same goes to the generations of descendants of the kidnapped. Amerikkka doesn’t have enough money to pay the costs of its treachery. So u all sweep it under the rug as if it didn’t happen. And black on black crime in no way compares to the savagery of white folks everyday. Media protection. Another NAZI Germany is on the rise. But we won’t go quietly w/o a fight!!!

          1. What a total, misspelled, grammatically incorrect and inaccurate statement that was.

          2. Wait a Dam minute , you blame the white man for your bondage and for slavery etc etc… Do you think the white man pulled his white boat up to the coast of Africa and just took all your ancestors and enslaved them. You got your info fucked all up whoever you are!! Your own fucking tribe leaders sold you into slavery!!!, Oh you didn’t know that??? Or is it just convenient to blame whiteys??? Why don’t you start from the beginning and take a look at your own fucking people you racist prick! Sick of whitey catching hell for all the black mans misfortunes. Bullshit times ten!!! Your own kind were involved but yet I never hear anyone layin any blame there… Go figure.. Stop your bullshit, if you wanna kill just say it’s cause you are an animal and don’t know how to be a normal productive human being, but don’t blame whiteys for your bullshit.

          3. Now I couldn’t help but to reply about “white Amerikkka.. A fact is that white Europeans and Arabic people and African people are the blame for bondage and slavery. Let’s keep it real people, we are in a spiritual war fair and the powers that be are in total control over what we read see and hear. Low frequency levels , mind control, dirty polluted water with all kind of mind altering things in it and gender drugs for black Americans.
            Plus God is a black man for those who are ignorant to the facts, just ask the Pope what color is his God and whom do they pray to?
            The school system is a big joke and it’s all about mind control and taking the strongest men out of the equation and replace him with a trans gender man/woman. But u have to live it to see it people so don’t argue over it dumbass do something to address the real issue. I could go on for hours or years but for what? Nobody cares about us as black Americans… Sad but it’s true.. n

          4. Hahahahaha thus dude is so uneducated. You know the original slaves where white people the Irish I dont hear them complaining or the Egyptians or the Asians. Come on dude get real. Oh and by the way black people where sold by other black people to the white folk. So put blame where blame is do. Just like what you guys do to yourself now always killing each other cause you live on different streets or are want nw punk thugs in a gang. How about this get an education get a job and live like everyone else nothing is handed to anyone or is easier for anyone its called determination and goals. Everyone has that opportunity no matter what color your skin is. There’s plenty of black doctors and successful black people

          5. All of you sound dumb and uneducated. Plain and simple. Other races may have somewhat: emphasis on somewhat had a similar experience, but you could never compare our struggles to others. We were enslaved the longest.treated the worst: still until this day. Not only that Ur so called America pays every other culture for its wrong doings. Welfare and food cards are not help its modern day slavery dumb asses. Every other race literally gtt what’s called restitution. We get bottom of barrel and as always WHITEY thinks he did something and wants to know “why’s yall niggas complaining ” atleast we gave u something. 😒 urr sad pretty sure I won’t be back to this no factor ass page.

          6. The biggest lie there is that there is racial equality. Every thing I’ve earned in the job world Ive had to work three or four times harder than the white man who’s stats are equal to, but most times below mine!! Correction: Jews were the first slaves. Why is it when the Jews mention the holocaust everyone gets all soft and sappy? That event did not even take place in the USA, nor has it affected as many lives in the present day, like slavery has . They don’t have issues getting jobs, or being treated fairly because of the color of their skin. What other race has to worry about safety when being pulled over by police?NONE, ONLY BLACK MEN

          7. Obviously you don’t know shit about history or just make up your own. White people weren’t even created in the beginning. Whites were created 6000 years after the original man.

          8. This is Weak at best, you speak on the past like it’s the present! I’m white and have a Black daughter! The world is not fair, I grew up in the streets with no parents, I sold drugs n committed crime n went to prison, my fault,our choices our are own period! Bad shit happens to everyone! Quit being weak! I’ve changed my life and now make 40 n hr and work where I’m the only white person there! Quit being a poor me little *****!

          9. Hmm…. This subject I love let’s break this down I see black lawyers , politician’s, doctors , hell even a president what’s their privilege? And once again money is owed to your race free money is always owed to the poor black man. How bout get a job ? You know the word slave is derived from a Slavic word and you know why that is ? The white race endured more slavery 10 times the length any black slavery existed hmmm… Nope I don’t want or think someone owes me money cause my ancestors pain look into some others historys my ancestors are Irish prob one of the longest and worst historys but still not a shred of me thinks money is owed to me . Ol White america but you stay go the fuck back please

          10. STFU… QUIT CRYING ABOUT SHIT YOUR GREAT GRANOARENTS WENT THROUGH. HELL, PEOPLE WERE ” MEAN ” TO MY GRANDPA AND YOU DONT SEE US TRYING TO GET “REPARATIONS” CMON GIVE THAT SHIT A REST

          11. This is the problem with alot of black folks u think cuz 200 years ago ur people sold u into slavery that I somehow owe u something the world owed u nothing white people owe u nothing not even an apology for something they didn’t do to ur great great grand parents wtf are u smoking

          12. Who the fuck posted ” Shut up nigger”? I will blow your fucking head off bitch!

          13. You are piss ignorant and have no idea what the fucking history is. Dumbass your own fucking village your own Queen sold you as slaves we did not enslave you your own fucking people did

          14. Well Germany was white on white crimes. Some of the worst ever documented. Rwanda genocide was black on black. Until you realize that age, race , gender, sexuality. None of those things are the problem. It’s ignorance and that’s a universal problem. No one is persecuting him because he’s black. It was his actions and now he’s trying to use his money and celebrity status to make himself special and get out. I’ve served time where I was pulled off all my prescription medications in a small jail with no doctor. Locked in holding because I was so sick. Couldn’t eat, having seizures, no one cared. He’s not special. That’s life. No one said it was fair and if you keep thinking it is you’re simply causing problems for yourself. Get over it and move on. Can’t see Ghandi standing up for this cause

        2. White people have food cards too also we know black people are not equipped to fight white America but the world nations are turning their back on America the world bully “that’s the point the young man is making “

        3. I see you’re a slow one. How about reading Meet Your Strawman and then you will see what your great America has “not” done to its people. According to your obvious ignorance. Smh… I’m sure you have a social security card right?…. 🙄 🤔 🤣

        4. This is exactly how racist white trash thinks and speaks only on social media, because of course you are a coward that would never say anything close to that in a black man’s presence. Pinche puta.

      2. Im white and I aint ever done shit to anyone bc of their color. This “White America” is jist as racist as everything else. You wanna talk about the corrupt pieces of shit in office cool but remember Kamala just as bad. It aint about color its about the elite wanting us to stay at odds. Theres profit in chaos and you feeding right into it💯💯💯💯💯

        1. THE LAST 2 SENTENCES IS THE ULTIMATE WORD OF TRUTH!!! DAMN U NAILED IT 💯💪🏿💥💪🏿💥💯 I WISH EVERYONE WOULD WAKE DA FUK UP AND SMELL WHAT’S REAL!! **Keeping us peons at the bottom of the food chain @ odds to make them up yonda at the top of the food chain richer than a summbicher** SO GLAD I CAME ACROSS THIS COMMENT!!

        2. So true, I’m a black man and a lot has been said but at the end of the day we are all god’s children. After 911 we were one and now back to the same thinking that was going on before. I love all my brothers and sisters no matter the color.

      3. bruh you trying to get slapped 😂 you about lame asf what’s america got to do with a supposed wack young thug bug 🐛 so he he weak you sound to weak to I pray I’m there when you catch a clip to the chest ,live by the sword unlive by the clip 💯

    2. He hasn’t been convicted. And ALL should have the presumption of innocence. Dummies. And u want just duty. I suppose?

  3. Were those fans concerned about the people they were murdering or community they had under pressure for years? People tried repeatedly to tell Thugg to fall back but he didn’t and it caught up to him. His niggas are ratting and Jail is fucked up for everyone, it’s real now. They have like 8 years of paperwork on these clowns, it’s RICO, It ain’t funny now and his lawyers are draining his bank account. No sympathy fam. Reap what you sow.

    1. I remember when they said it was a crime for blacks to drink off of white facuets my nigga, so don’t get besides ya self..

        1. Im trying to fogure out why all of you brought race into comments about a man on trial for rico & issues with jail marriot 🤣 2023 people stop the racial bullshit✊🏽

      1. So it’s ok for him to scam people out of their money because he’s black? Pretty sure plenty of white people are in jail on RICO charges. So what exactly is your point? And I’m also pretty sure the water fountain thing is decades old and you never had to deal with anything like that in your life. So again what’s your point?

    2. And what crimes that U fid tht is ready yo roost on U playa?? Be mindful tht ur not caught ( BWD ) black while driving!!!

        1. Solomon? What does that have to do with facts? White privilege didn’t began til 1820. Read ghe making of white people.

    3. Man y’all stfu because if it were any of you all family members it would be a crying shame so get off young thug he only was surviving

    4. You don’t know shit puny brain. The Community Love Thug. It’s lames tryna be street talking. If u was street you would understand that all snitches got acquainted simply for protection while tryna live like Thug

    1. I just did 156 months (13yrs) they hit me with RICO lost everything i had businesses, house, cars I’m female and white but i love everyone my kids, grandkids, aunts ,uncles are all of the white An black race.. I don’t agree with things white people do but like my momma said you know what you doing is wrong if you can’t desk with what come with it then don’t do it. But you cant whine and cry about it after the fact. We all done had nasty food and a small cell. I’m sure he has more privileges than some of his fellow inmates due to him being who he is. But anyway have a great day.

  4. These Rico cases are shaky they rely on hearsay from people trying to save there own ass, and I don’t know how much physical evidence there is but the federal government are criminals

  5. Awe he is such a victim. Let’s throw him a pity party. Scam people out of their money and ruin lives and the poor baby has to survive on jail food. Act tough in your songs but can’t take jail time. Wow what a gangster.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  6. All yall defending this dude whenever someone speaks bad about him is crazy!! Dude is a straight up pussy!! Ain’t no fuckin thug!! All the world can now see how bitch made he is. Can greenlight murders and other bullshit but when it comes time to pay his dues motherfucker folds!! Hahaha!! But hey All you lames keep on dickridin pos is where he deserves to be!! Just lookin for pity

    1. Fuk’n Rite Bro , Young Bitch Is What Mutha Fukaz Name Will Be After He Get’s Smoked On His RICO Cases .. Fall Back
      Cuz Your Parole Officer Isn’t Even Born Yet !
      FACT !!

  7. Young thug this is part of that life style you live myboi . You wanna be a gangster be active in them streets this comes right along with it, you see I’m a whyte boi from southern California spent half my life in an out the state penitentiary but just cuz I’m whyte dont mean shit I was active as fuck growing up all the whyte bois from southern California San Bernardino were but tell you what ur an inspiration keep ur head up if ur about that life then this is part of it

    1. I was in that same jail. Did a year and I am a female. It’s true you can’t claim ganster then wine about what comes with it but I do have sympathy for Jeffery not thug. He now realizes he is Jeffery not a thug.

      1. Everyone sounds stupid up here with y’all dumb ass comments. He just trying to get out on bond period. Lawyer is coming up with conditions he may or may not really be facing. But he doing what any person that isn’t homeless and is in jail would be trying to do. Get out.

  8. Well, Well, Well. Big tough guy rapper and a little jail life hurting you? Gotta come up with something I guess when you weak.

  9. Listen. In true “I’m not prepared for the half” that comes with doing time as a part of being involved in crime. U have to learn to assimilate into any atmosphere. A leader is a leader ..No matter the conditions. Math is uni ersal. It comes with the territory. Don’t faint. Endure and encourage.

  10. Well he’s finding out that justice isn’t blind in a the perfect world he probably should make bond all the others are out on bond “put him on house arrest “

  11. So What ! He better get with the program. He is no better than any other criminal. Are we supposed to feel bad for him? Get real! ! The Leftist media twists reality all the time. He is a criminal to be shunned not glorified.

    1. Let’s start petition to get him out more people need him free why should the caucasian system rule our lives Lil Wayne should have never went owning a weapon is our right enjoying life is our right fuck the police remix that shit. I wanna rap!

  12. Boy bye you as weak as that mess the lawyer is talking about…thugs don’t whine like a baby

  13. I’m praying for him, to me it seems like he’s being setup! My son is in prison for a technical violation theirs no justice in the justice system. Judges will sentence you to life/prison for a buddy he plays golf with or went to the same school literally anything. So your life is in the hand of a devil in a black robe. His only hope is in Jesus.

    1. I agree this system is ruled by evil beings ruled by demons from slavery to prison young thug keep your head up write you incredible artist 🎨 you will beat this my prayers are for you my dear friend love.

  14. Exactly don’t the crime if you can’t do the time anybody will tell you that.ive done my time and any body that involved in illegal escapades knows this and will say the same.i had to eat terrible jail food.i didn’t die ,sounds like he’s a studio gangsta.

  15. Thuggery need to chill. He wait it out and Biden can pardon him when he leave office one day. Like Trump did for Kodak Black. See, white America loves Thugger. Stop hating

  16. The Game! You play! You Pay! Martha Stewart is A Troupet! Did a year n a day wout crying! I applaud her! Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time! Don’t do it! When the Feds come after you! It’s bye bye! Money the root of All Evil.

    1. Probably the most misquoted line in the Bible. It is “THE LOVE OF money is the root of all evil”. Just saying, so you don’t run around looking like a dummie.

  17. You’ll be a superstar in prison , in your little gang of admirers ,in a corner of the yard , until the money runs out. Then , life suks , for the next 50 years.

  18. Did you think about that when you were out there going all those crimes??? Did you think at all????

  19. I agree. Doing that same routine back and forwards to and from court can be physically and mentally exhausting. Not getting enough sleep leads to sleep depravation which leads to brain fog, lack of alertness, impaired concentration fatigue amongst a slew of other things. Eating healthy most definately is a must I can situation which requires so much focus and alertness. A bond should be granted In reference to our justice system he is innocent until proven guilty. Give him a bond .

  20. Simple Minded People
    Especially those of you who claimed to do some time. The man tryna get out anyway he can. Nothing More Nothing Less. Also to you Tough guys in this thread, I KNOW FOR A FACT THUGGER WAS STEPPING but y act like the person the gov tryna portray you as? Find a way out. Oh and NOBODY DIED THAT WASN’T IN THE STREETS ALREADY. SO that comes with the street

  21. I couldn’t finish the article after the writer used son instead of sun I’m Done!🤦‍♀️

  22. You were about that life when you were free you had money houses cars and you probably haven’t done a hard days work in your life but having all that you want to set up killings and be a ringleader in crime that’s destroying your own neighborhood and good decent people along with it. You better get use to that food your facing along time in jail. And the long drawn out trial is really designed to break your bank so if the slightest chance you go free,(which more than likely won’t happen) you will be broke.

  23. I don’t know what’s worse! How grammatically incorrect this article is? Or the assumption that pity or sorrow will be the reaction received? Young Thug, Thugger, Jeffery Williams claimed to be a thug on sum gangster shit hence his Alia’s. Like every other “Studio gangster” his ignorance thought he was untouchable! He’s surviving on Chips and chocolates shit he’s winning if he’s lockdown and getting chips and chocolates 3 times a day! LMFAO, this is comedy! Poor thing doesn’t like the food and his lawyer can’t get him bail and he’s a confined to his cell with lack of sun. Order some commissary and eat, get another attorney if the one he has can’t get the job done! He’s a thug right or claims to be it’s the lifestyle he choose no pity for a crying ass “Studio Gangster” on slimey shit.

    1. Haha I just scrolled to the bottom to post this. You are all the same you waisted this valuable money making time arguing with strangers.
      😆
