Young Thug is facing a wave of fresh charges after the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office filed a new indictment against his Young Slime Life (YSL) collective.
The Atlanta rapper (real name Jeffery Williams) is currently behind bars after being arrested along with 27 others as part of a sweeping, 56-count racketeering indictment accusing YSL of being a “criminal street gang.”
Thug’s legal troubles worsened on Tuesday (August 9) when he was hit with a new gang charge, new drug charges, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and possession of a machine gun, according to WSB-TV.
Many of the charges stem from weapons and drugs seized by police at the rapper’s home in Buckhead, Atlanta during his arrest on May 9.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ office said the new indictment still focuses on YSL and includes all 28 defendants from the original May indictment. However, these new charges only involve Young Thug and four others, including fellow YSL rappers Yak Gotti and Duke.
Willis believes the new indictment bolsters the prosecution’s case that Thug “performed for years as a leader of a criminal street gang.”

Yak Gotti’s attorney, Jay Abt, told WSB-TV his client is “looking forward to his day in court and is not guilty of all of these charges,” while Duke’s attorney, Ashleigh Merchant, said her client will be pleading not guilty to the new charges and is confident he won’t be convicted of the original charges.
Young Thug’s attorney, Brian Steel, meanwhile, maintained his client’s innocence following his arrest in May. “I’ll tell you the response to any allegation: Mr. Williams committed no crime whatsoever,” he said. “And we will fight to my last drop of blood to clear him.”
Talk of another indictment surfaced in July when D.A. Wallis told reporters, “Over the next 60 days, you’ll see two more.” Rumors suggested Lil Baby’s 4PF collective could be next in the crosshairs, prompting a response from the My Turn rapper. “Only god can judge me,” he tweeted.
Young Thug is likely to remain behind bars until at least early next year after twice being denied bond. A trial for the RICO case has been set for January 9, 2023.
Things ain’t looking good for YoungButtPlugga’s case even more. Looks like the snitching has begun. He better take a deal already before they railroad him with those slavery numbers.
Yep and I bet Gunna was the one to snitch ass
He’s done for.
It won’t stop this website from promoting and writing stories about this punk b itch..
Trump will pardon him in 2028 XDDD
He won’t be president again. DeSantos has a better chance than that orange turd and we know he’s not going to pardon a rapper for sure.
That’s not what the polls, science and common sense says. Trump will win in 2024 unless something changes, which it won’t. I’m a Dem BTW.
Greased Up Deaf Guy 2024. He’s gonna win for sure. He’s got more appeal and he’s a slippery one when it comes to the polls.
He should be in prison too. Can’t trust none of these politicians nowadays.
Jeffery is toast. So is Young Thug.
Oh he’s buttered toast now
All he had to do was clean house as he knew “they” were coming, and could’ve saved himself years.
Same for the Orange Turd FBI raid lol.
He can wear all the dresses he wants in prison.
See kids? This cosplay fake blood shit will fuck you. It’s strange how you don’t see the real Bloods from LA always getting hit with RICO etc. huh. Your homies would kill you for wearing a dress. That’s a start.
Jeffery, just graduated, fresh on campus, mmm
Fresh out East Atlanta with no manners, damn (fresh out East Atlanta)
Bump on her bumper like a traffic jam
Hey, I was quick to pay that girl like Uncle Sam (here you go, ayy)

Shawty cravin’ on me, get to eatin’ on me (on me)
She waited on me (then what?)
Shawty cakin’ on me, got the bacon on me (wait up)
This is history in the makin’, on me (on me)
Point blank, close range, that B
If it cost a million, that’s me (that’s me)

I guess young thug attorney will need blood because he will need to contact the blood bank.
