Young Thug’s bond hearing is taking place today.
Joe Coscarelli of The New York Times reports that the hearing faced some delays as prosecutors argued that Thug’s lawyer Brian Steel should be removed from the case due to an alleged conflict of interest. After some back and forth Steel was allowed to continue to act as Thug’s attorney. After that was settled, Thug’s team asked for their client to be released to home confinement.
People who asked the court to allow for Thug to be released on bond included Machine Gun Kelly and record executive/300 Entertainment co-founder Kevin Liles.
“I’m willing to back him personally and professionally,” Liles said during the hearing, per Coscarelli.
The rapper, legal name Jeffrey Williams, was charged with conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act in a 56-count indictment that also included several other Young Stoner Life Records rappers like Gunna, Yak Gotti, YSL Duke, and others. Thug was arrested on May 9 after his home in Atlanta was raided by authorities.
