Young Thug is a free man once again.
Thugger’s longtime girlfriend Jerrika Karlae revealed he was released from jail on Thursday (September 13), thanking his lawyers in an Instagram post.
“BIG THANK YOU TO THESE AMAZING TWO MR BRIAN STEELE AND @drewfindling,” she wrote. “THE GOAT IS FREE #GODISGOOD @thuggerthugger1 continue making history and touching the masses with your talent.”
Thug turned himself into authorities earlier this week after a warrant was issued for his arrest. A grand jury indicted him on multiple felony drug charges stemming from a 2017 arrest.
In the midst of being a wanted man, Thug began promoting a new album titled On The Run. The project will feature the contributions of Elton John, Jaden Smith, 6LACK and T-Shyne.

Young Thug is no longer on the run. According to DeKalb County records, Thugger was processed and booked for five felony drug charges on Monday afternoon (September 10).
The charges against Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Williams, stem from a 2017 arrest for drug and gun possession.
TMZ reported a warrant for Thug’s arrest was issued after a grand injury indicted him on charges of possession and intent to distribute methamphetamine, hydrocodone and marijuana. He was also charged with possession of amphetamine, Alprazolam, codeine and a firearm.
Thugger has been embracing his legal troubles by promoting a new album titled On The Run. Just a few days after announcing the project, he revealed the guest features.
Elton John, Jaden Smith, 6LACK and T-Shyne were the four artists written on a notebook page pictured in an Instagram post on Tuesday (September 11). Thugger appeared to reference his issues with the law by writing “While I’m down… ‘ON THE RVN'” as the photo’s caption.

Too fucking stupid to stay out of legal shit, too fucking stupid to stay off social media with the outlaw shit….and too stupid to not walk around in dresses talking about smoking dicks….just too fucking stupid for words
Celebs think they untouchable. Nah the Police and DA will still fucc you.
No one ever calls them out by name, but Young Thug and Future should be held responsible for their contribution to the prescription pill epidemic. These mother fuckers didn’t start the shit, but they threw gas on the fire. Percocet Molly Percocet.. get the fuck outta here you fucking lame drug addicts
Straight facts.
Hope he get a wake up call from this to turn his life around
The Commanda approves when trash rappers got to jail…
when they get their hands on him in prison…..
All 6ay shit aside, how’d he pull an Elton John feature? Or did I just answer my own question?
He dropped the soap on purpose multiple times too
The goat is free lol? Dude ur trash
Elton John? okay im a listen.
Oh my God,Noooooo!!!!!
got out and went straight to his nearest meth dealer!!
His girl friend called him the Goat he will never be that he might smell like a billy goat
Publicity stunt, that weird fck been doing that since the beginning of his so called career…have we ever seen him actually going to jail? What jail he been into, might you i havent done any research but this dude has an album titled on the run smh…never seen this dude being apprehended….where the mugshots?….black youngster, chief kief, etc, they all have had stories written about them catching major charges, like kief, where is ghe kidnapping or broken into home with guns charges? How does that go away?…yall beleive anything, thats why they do thos fake stories
Yes. A publicity stunt. With 5 FELONIES and a GUN? He might be desperate and stupid, but no one is THAT desperate and stupid. He’ll do at least 2 years I’m guessing. I also guess they won’t let him wear women’s clothing in the pen, although he’ll find a way…
5 felony charges for a ex con and still In and out of jail … like an informant
Fruit loops over here has Elton John and Gayda Smith on his album. How am I not surprised? His “girlfriend” has a bigger dick than he does in her purse, and it smells like Young Thug’s booty hole. Old Baby for sure is all in that for royalties. Hahaha
Should stayed in there, you can eat their food not actual hip hop artists, bitches like you been licking the plate clean
