Young Thug has embraced the reality of being a wanted man.
Despite having a warrant issued for his arrest, Thugger is continuing to promote his recently announced album, On The Run. The eccentric rhymer has unveiled a guest list for the project that plays up the concept of his legal woes.
Elton John is billed as the judge, Jaden Smith plays the prosecutor, 6LACK is his co-defendant and T-Shyne takes the role of the district attorney.
According to TMZ, a felony arrest warrant was issued for Thug in DeKalb County, Georgia. A grand jury indicted him on eight felony counts stemming from a 2017 arrest in which he was initially pulled over for tinted windows.
