Tony Yayo has stood up for Young Thug, despite the Atlanta rapper being stuck in the throes of the ever-evolving YSL RICO case.
During an interview with VladTV, which dropped on Wednesday (June 14), the former G-Unit rapper revealed why he believes Thugga will beat all the charges against him.

“Thug coming home, man,” Yayo said. “The case … it sounds like a clusterfuck, man. Free Young Thug, man. And you know, it’s like, when you look at the shit, it’s like, he’s a high-profile guy. So, it’s a clusterfuck. You know?”
He went on: “Even moving them around, it’s like, he’s high-profile. This is everyday shit, though … It’ll just make the news because you’ll hear ‘YSL.'”
This isn’t the first time that the Talk of New York has spoken about the YSL case. Back in January, in another interview with VladTV, he discussed Gunna’s controversial plea deal.
Tony Yayo said although things looked up for Gunna in the video of him walking out of prison with a woman by his side, things were going to change once word got out regarding his release.
“It’s hard to call somebody a snitch without the paperwork,” Yayo said. “But I think when that video came out — because remember Gunna got out and I love Gunna music, I love Thugga music. Gunna got out, you know, got the bad chick with him jumped into $200,000 Maybach everything was all Gucci you know what I’m saying. But two minutes later, what was that? Probably like an hour later, yeah the film in court came out.”
Yayo explained Gunna’s statement following his release was probably written by his lawyer, but that didn’t matter especially when a video leaked of the him admitting that YSL was a gang during his hearing. According to the “So Seductive” rapper, admitting anything in court is bad for anyone in the rap business.

“In this business, if you turn into a rat it’s kind of like career’s over,” Yayo said before explaining how he would’ve handled the situation. “Me, I would’ve rather sat a little longer ’cause I was only in there for a year. I would’ve sat a little longer than coming out to what the internet do to you.”
He added: “That wasn’t a good first day out for him after that came out, for me, like I said, I like Gunna, I like Thugga, I’m a fan of a lot of n-ggas in ATL, they had the game on smash for a minute. But that first day out with him coming out with the bad bitch and the Maybach, yeah it was cool but once the internet got to him with the pushing pleas shit that shit was a fucked up first day out.”
