Young Thug’s attorneys made a last-ditch effort to convince the Fulton County court system to grant the YSL boss bond after being arrested in May. Thugger remotely listened in from Cobb County Jail to Thursday’s hearing (June 2) where a judge allowed his lawyer, Brian Steel, to remain on his case even though the prosecution insisted he be taken off due to conflicts of interests with other co-conspirators in the YSL indictment.
Kevin Liles then took the stand and advocated for the type of philanthropic person Young Thug is. The 300 Entertainment co-founder got choked up at several points throughout his testimony wiping tears from his eyes.
“I’m kind of emotional because of how good this guy is,” he told the judge. “I’m willing to back him personally and professionally.”
The proposed bond conditions made by Thug’s lawyer called for home confinement, 24-hour police surveillance, drug testing, visitors patted down, dog searches and video footage of the property at all times.
Liles put his reputation on the line and said he would back the bond conditions financially himself if Thugger couldn’t put up his own money.
“This whole thing that people are talking about, it’s not him,” Liles contested. “The Jeffery I know, he’ll give me the clothes off his back. The Jeffery I know, I can give him my kids and he’ll give me his kids.”
According to The New York Times’ Joe Coscarelli, Machine Gun Kelly, who toured and collaborated with Thugger in the past, sent a video message to the judge highlighting Thug’s charitable work in the community.

“You got the song and dance but now you’re about to get the rest of the story,” the prosecution responded. “This is all about money… Everything you heard was someone that has a financial interest… [Young Thug] has said in his songs that it’s all about the money.”
That shit is not going to do a damn thing. The Feds already got all the evidence on this dude already so y’all try to be a character witness now is kinda redundant now. He’s doing time regardless.
not a federal case……state case……if they had crazy talk on wiretaps it would have leaked
It wouldn’t be that bad if they didn’t have him on wiretap too but yeah he’s done. They got years worth of evidence on him and his entire organization too. Ain’t no escaping this. Plead and get a lesser sentence before they throw the book at you and railroad you like they did Jimmy Henchman.
Crying for another grown man’s mistakes. Crying cause your ill gotten gains are coming to an end. Pathetic.
Some of you people are so full of hate toward Thug that you can’t even get your facts straight. He is not facing a Fed case it is a State case, and where does it say that they have all of this so-called recorded conversations? Unless you are involved in this case you should either support him wish him the best, or be neutral in regard to the case. Yet those of you hating on another man that is some gay-shiz. What did Thug steal your girlfriend, smash your baby momma, smack you around or something? Once again hating on a man you have never met is gay. Save that hate for George Zimmerman, the Buffalo shooter, the Texas shooter, etc., but you lame-azz ningas want to hate another Black man. GTFOH…
