Young Thug’s “defeated” courtroom appearance has sparked concern among fans, with many praying for the YSL rapper to hang in there amidst his ongoing RICO case.
In a courtroom video that circulated on Twitter on Wednesday (January 25), Thugga can be seen hunched over his desk with a mask dangling below his nose as he rests his head on the table. The video ushered in numerous reactions from fans, with many offering their prayers for the Atlanta native.
“Praying for Young Thug. For forgiveness and for his health,” wrote one fan. “For his well-being and for the best possible outcome. Im genuinely sad for him in this situation and I hope that the accusations against him are false.”
Another fan added in a tweet that the video “broke my heart.”
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, YSL co-founder Mondo shed light on Young Thug’s mindset during the RICO trial, saying the rapper remains optimistic but is “disappointed” about certain things that have transpired during his case.
“I’ve been talking to Mama Thug, I’ve been talking to his sisters. Thug is keeping a good spirit and keeping his head up, but certain stuff he’s just disappointed about,” he said, although he didn’t go into specifics.
Close collaborators Metro Boomin and Lil Baby have also given positive updates on Thug’s mental wellbeing since he was arrested last May.
“I be talking to him, he’s blessed man,” Metro said on DJ Drama’s The Streetz Iz Watching podcast last week. “Anybody know Slime know he got a heart of gold but he got the heart of a warrior at the same time, so he got his head up.”
The YSL leader has suffered a string of bad luck recently as jury selection for his upcoming RICO trial continues. Earlier this month, Thug and one of his 13 co-defendants were accused of exchanging drugs while court was in session.
In a motion filed by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on January 19, Khalieff Adams allegedly handed Thug a single Percocet pill in the middle of court proceedings, with the entire incident being captured on closed-circuit cameras inside the Fulton County Superior Courthouse.
Following the exchange, a Fulton County Sherriff’s deputy asked Thugga to open his hand to reveal the pill. The deputy then attempted to search his co-defendant, who initially resisted and was allegedly tased multiple times. The deputy found additional Percocet pills, marijuana, tobacco and other unspecified contraband hidden on his person.
That was the second time a defendant in the YSL trial has been accused of attempting to smuggle contraband.
On January 17, YSL rapper Yak Gotti’s mother was also arrested after she allegedly attempted to pass a bag filled with tobacco products and rolling papers to her son at the Fulton County Courthouse.
These fiascos are just the latest hiccups to occur during jury selection. Thug’s lawyer Brian Steele previously claimed that another potential juror had attempted to reach out to him via email. While the contents of the message weren’t disclosed during the hearing, it was enough for the judge to order an investigation.

Boo-fuckin-hoo, cry more. That monster deserves to be in prison.
Best news I’ve heard. The Feds (aka The Wack Music Police) is doing their job and riding the world of all the horrible rappers in the game right now.
Facts they took Tory thugga and even gunna is now disgraced. It’s a beautiful day
I think what your missing is that the alphabet boys just want anyone not just rappers. Anyone who they want to target……. White or black, it doesn’t matter.
He’s probably just exhausted from all those jail house poundings lol…. Just let the ma’am sleep.
A heart of gold? This nigger shot at an innocent mother I hope they bury him under the jail
Get lost honkey
U pussy ass bitch. That n#gger word u typing from a safe place gone get your fingers broken in real life,u sun burned,mayo breath,birthed by a hound dog smelling-backwoods whore,inbred punk
I don’t think the N word is necessary. You should apologize. Respectfully
Honkey fuck you NIGGER beat your bitch ass would of told too, you’re all fake ass gangsters just waiting to tell on each other you niggers all have a yellow streak down you’re back!! And by the way we all hate you motherfuckers all you do is follow white people wherever we go cuz you’re all broke as fuck and need something to steal!! Can’t wait to see them all tell on young bitch and see him get executed it’s going to be the shit to see him fry!!🤣🤣 Hope it next nigger
Not we I’m white I have zero hate in my heart because of someone’s skin color so no we pal just you
I really need to understand what you mean by “follow white people” please explain that. Because if that’s what you think, sad that your so delusional because we INVENTED music. And to be technical the only thing whit people can actually take credit for inventing was GUNS and DRUGS. Both of which your ancestors dropped off in our communities. So if anyone stole anything, you all stole everything from our existence………. Including HIPHOP. Sorry, try again. Yall actually hate that you can’t be like us. You don’t have soul or a soul. No swag. No finesse. No gifts. No melanin. You hate being you. You hate that you burn when our sun shines. We are Gods y’all are Devils, evil never wins………. Never!
hes had people killed, shot at lil waynes bus, had a guy take a fall fore that, sold a bunch of drugs, is a drug addict, and people wanna feel bad for this guy?
He is a good guy yoll is after him but truly yoll have the wrong person. Ysl is a hip hop label. To be honest yoll are the bad guys,yoll are murderers and thieves…
Shut up pussy
Fuck you dick rida isn’t no one’s fault he chose to be a piece of shit typical nigger is it
You’ll what the FUCK is a yoll??? And dude wants to sell drugs and shoot at people well this is what happens to motherfuckers that think they might be a gangster they always find out their NOT!!! But the best part is his own people are telling their ass off it’s hilarious to normal people when you fake ass gangsters start telling on each other love it cuz you’re all really just scared little kids with guns
Yes, these mfs are brain washed lmao smh.
Love the music but Thugga is right where he belongs.
Can judge, But if what the Fed is saying is correct, really do the black community need people like this running around in it, Seriously, man defeated, oldest rule in the book, done do the crime if you cant do the time see ya, our community need better people in it, than people who just continue to destroy it.
It’s weird how the scales of life is never balanced. People who have hate will always and only talk about the bad a person has done but will never talk about how the GOOD actually out weighed. Free young Thug.
Man WTF? Don’t give him no prayers or encouragement. People this man and his crew are terrorist. This man came from poverty and became rich making drill(kill) music. Men like him and the record companies that promote and distribute this satanic garbage is what’s contributing to the rise in young men being incarcerated or sent to the grave. His crew, a bunch of ignorant followers that were tough while out there in the streets showed their colors when it all came tumbling down. Ain’t nobody trying to spend ten days in prison much less life. Let this be a lesson and send a message to all these other killers and gang bangers that can’t keep away from street BS even when they make it out. If quavo had stayed away from the hood ish He would still be alive.
Since when did Quavo die?
It was takeoff dumb ass tf!!!
Ahhhhhh Quavo is alive, Takeoff is dead you dont know much, keep you mouth shut honkey
When i was catching my charges, sitting in court. It sucked. Everything drags out. Day after day, in between court dates. You sit ion a small ass lil holding tank w/ about 20 – 50 other inmates waiting to go to court as well. Days with court going on, they wake you up at dam near 5 in the morning to get you to that lil ass holding cell to sit in all day till your lil moment in court. Most of the time it is freezing cold in these lil ass holding tanks, as everything everywhere is concrete. You become sleep deprived, but have to stay on guard for your own safety. Your stressed beyond, and most are also confused about all the ins and outs of the court process. But suppose to keep a clear mind, to try and understand what is going on. In the jail, on the way (shackled on the bus), then who is in the holding tanks w/ you, then at, and thru- the court proceedings. You start to faze in & out. The system does this on purpose, they want to break you. If you have co-defendants, they want you to look weak, they lie and try and play you against each other. This is all part of the game. Now I hate to say this, but Thugger knew this. He knew what he was getting in for playing the game he played. Gangsters don’t shed tears in court. If you ain’t crying doing the crime, don’t cry when you get the time. And facts,, he ain’t crying or breaking. He just a lil tired and stressed. Anyone would be. But in the life, your responsible for who you talk to. Who’s in your business and who ain’t. And these days not even a dead man can keep a secret. Soo,, dam bra,, I feel for Thugger on this. The biggest gang (the police) is killing off all there rivals, Or locking them away till death like kenneled dogs. For the youngsters reading this,, think about what your doing, and what you want out of life. Cause sometimes death ain’t the end, this is. So be careful, Love, and appreciate what little you might got. If you handle business, do it alone, And always think twice. Much Love & Respect. Good Luck, Thugger

It’s crazy so many are feeling sorry for this dude . When he was free he wasn’t feeling sorry for the people or lives he and his gang destroyed. So yall stop worrying I’m sure his dress wearing ass will be ok.
His fans should be worried regardless. Its not looking good for him.
He is defeated his own people are going to testify against him for reduced sentences and then one fucking idiot hands him a Percocet in the fucking courtroom in front of Camaras and everyone else. With the stupid shit their doing it’s not that hard to see how they were caught up.
Well how do you guy’s know if anything is true it’s all hear say at this point the DA really doesn’t have evidence on him he is being set up the da is paying the snitches to snitch on him to get you dum fucks
Don’t feel sorry for his ass now when he was out there hurting people feeling untouchable!!
Praying for you bro stay up God will bless you at the end of this trail it’s not fare and I’m praying for a big blessing coming your way God 🙏 has way’s to change things
Keep that nigga locked the fuck up. All he does is spread poison to our youth. Let him out when he 75 maybe he’ll learn his lesson. He trying to kill someone while locked up , another black man!!:
