Young Thug may be behind bars, but that isn’t stopping him from promoting a new clothing line.
Taking to his Instagram Story on Monday (January 1) – just one day ahead of his scheduled return to the courtroom for the continuation of the YSL RICO trial – Thugger plugged the brand ‘Act Normal.’

“If you support me then… you know the rest,” he wrote, with a link to the brand’s website.
It’s unclear if Thug is an owner and/or investor in the brand, but the two people publicly associated with the brand so far are Thugger and an entrepreneur named Isaiah GQ. The site is still under construction and says the line is coming soon, with the Instagram only showing their logo for now.

Last month, Young Thug’s YSL RICO trial was delayed after one of his co-defendants was stabbed while in jail.
On December 12, court reporter Meghann Cuniff confirmed that the trial has been put on hold until January 2, 2024 while the defendant, Shannon Stillwell, recovers from the attack.

“Young Thug’s RICO trial is on hold until Jan. 2,” she wrote on social media. “This after his co-defendant Shannon Stillwell was stabbed in jail. Judge Glanville told the jury yesterday there was a medical issue. Today he told them, ‘Unfortunately that medical issue still exists.’”
“The Fulton County Sheriff’s Office says Stillwell was stabbed by inmate Willie Brown, who’s been in jail without bond for almost 3 1/2 years,” Cuniff added.
Stillwell’s attorney, Max Schardt, gave a statement to WSB-TV reporter Michael Seiden that said: “Our first concern is Shannon’s health, and we hope to speak to him shortly. I will provide any more additional details when appropriate. Thank you.”
Stillwell, who was arrested alongside Young Thug and 27 others in May 2022, was previously stabbed in July 2022, according to jail officials.

He faces several charges including murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a firearm during commission of a felony, as well as conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act.
The trial is expected to last upwards of a year.
