bitch Yo, what up with y'all? Big I can a building early, bright and early. Got some shit to do later, so, you know, got to make sure we feed the streets early. I've been on stream for like two days, and I definitely sincerely miss y'all, so I'm just glad you out of here.

I want you to get up in here. We do have a lot of things to talk about. I know, I know, I know. Shit, I'm kicking him with a Rye Wave. We in the mall shopping. I ain't going to lie. Me and Rye Wave, we did pretty much. It's going to be a day in the life of Rive type shit.

Crazy. Crazy crazy crazy I'm going to lot Super crazy super crazy super crazy Yeah essentially I spent a whole day with Rob Wave Went to the Went to a school He popped out for the kids

He performed Went to the mall Was mobbed over there He bought some Some shit for the kids as well there Went to the rehearsal Went to the Walk through

Went through You know I mean You know we had a good time He didn't want to do And I completely understood it. And only because I've been rocking with Robbway for a long time and also even support me likewise. So he was like, you know, he's not that cool with interviews.

He said, you know, could you? I rather do something like a day in the life. You know what I mean? You come around with me to everything I do. And let's get content that way. And, you know, rather than you just sit here and just ask me like 55 questions because I feel I don't like doing interviews. So, and I thought it was a good idea.

He asked me to pick a date, pick two. Houston and that's what we did. So I went out to Houston, hung out with Rod Wave for a little bit, and now I'm back, but I didn't stream for two days, and I did miss up with Rod Wave, and Rod looks at me. You can tell Rod watches the stream. Rodd is like, act, I know your ass probably want to be on stream right now. You probably had like 70K watching you right now, dog,

and I'm like, yeah, you're right, that is true. But anyway, it's all good chat. We're back in the building. Big news that came out. Obviously, Young Thug is now a free man, free at last, free at last. Thank God Almighty, young thug is free at last, right? We'll get into the specifics revolving that in stipulations,

but also how we got to this point. We'll kind of do a run-up and a culmination to it. Give me one single. Let me tweet this out. What else been going on? So it's the interviews. Well, you got to realize you have to know how artists are. Like that interview setting, like some people are great in it.

Like, for example, the baby, like he's great. He's great in an interview setting. Some of these other guys, they're just not great at just answering questions. Now, it's not like they're running from talking about shit, but it kind of comes off awkward to them. You know what I mean? Or sometimes, you know, you might have certain street dudes. They feel like it's interrogation. As opposed, y'all just having random conversation and you go, like random conversation that comes up, but still relevant to the music.

You get what I'm saying? Like, they're more comfortable in that aspect. And also, you know, I thought it was interesting. You know, we've been trying to do blogs a little bit. So to kind of do like a day in the life, I thought that was cool. when I went out to Houston, checked to my man, Sauce Walker.

You know, I mean, I actually went by the sauce factory, went by, you know, one of his several houses. We did something

with him there and his dad. Yeah, yeah. Low key, I'm thinking about doing a more expansive, like, series.

This kind of, like, motivated me. By the way, we got shown so much love. I want to say a big thanks to the people of Houston. They showed me

so much love from everybody. I ran into old and young people who were just so respective of the fact that I came down there that, you know, shit, sauce got up at like 9 o'clock for my ass, you know what I mean? And that was an impromptu thing because we had to go to the school at 1 o'clock. So I just want to thank everybody down there. What I am thinking about doing later in the future is probably doing something like, because immediately I thought about it, just happening with sauce and him just tell me about, you know,

we were on the south side. And he's like, yo, this is kind of around the area where, you know, DJ Screw was from. And I was just thinking, I'm like, maybe I should do a series, not on some, like, vice shit, right? And not on some, you know, show me where you killed the niggas, that shit. But just, like, kind of showing culture from each of these cities, like a welcome to Houston, like, you know, vlog, where I go there for, like, a week or so. And I just tap in with different regions and different people because I didn't even know how Houston was that big. So I tapped in with Sauce Walker, but there's a whole north side.

There's people all different things. parts that you would probably tap in with them. I think I seen Trade of Truth very briefly. I didn't even realize it was Trade of Truth until, like, I see this big-ass cyber truck right by the entrance to like the underground for the Toyota Center. And then I seen it have this interesting call. I was like, oh, that's Trade of Truth.

So, yeah, you know, when you do that, you're untapping with everybody. So I was thinking about maybe doing like a week. It doesn't have to be Houston because I think a welcome to Atlanta one would be good, too. You feel me? Even though I think half of these Atlanta rappers don't like me, but fuck it. Who cares? Yeah, so just kind of showcasing different parts and facets. And yeah, so really pleasurable experience.

I want to send thanks to Alamo. Alamo facilitated the whole thing. They treated me first class like a top tier guest. We were allowed access to everything. We were given any and everything we wanted. And, you know, I appreciate Alamo. And specifically my man, Darmic. over there for hooking that up.

He's been working with Rodd since, like, day one. And also, to Rod's team, Rod's team was simply amazing. They looked out, helped with everything possible. I appreciate all parties involved, okay? Yeah, I got to get out of the house for a little bit. Anyway, so we do got to talk about a young thugs situation. What else is going on? I'll do a welcome to Cali.

I think if I do a welcome to Cali, see, I got to do a welcome to LA. Because if I do welcome to Cali, now you're going to have niggins long beat saying, yo, what up? You got to touch down here. All right, cool. Then you go out of niggins from Inglewood. Then you go out of niggins some like Sacramento. Like, you know, I probably got to do a city, not a state. And I guess it gets tricky when you get to Florida because, no, no, it doesn't.

No, it does. Right? Because I could do a welcome to, like, you know, welcome to Jacksonville and just tapping with the different folks there, right? Welcome to. Where else is popping? Welcome to Broward. Welcome to Miami-Dade. Right?

But, of course, we want to start with the biggest cities first, right? Like, you know, I think Houston, I think we could cover Houston as a whole. But then it also gets tricky when we get to New York because not really. You just give Eastboro a different look and a different, like, not necessarily an episode, but time you're going a lot to them. All right. All good. So that is to come.

I know you guys did want to hear my opinion. And by the way, I've been seeing the visceral. reaction to young thug being free what does that mean for gunna we'll get into some of the stipulations actually there is a stipulation that specifically mentions gunna and we're gonna we're gonna say we're also going to evaluate how does this work for the whole fulton county as a home by the way how too man what up with you bro he says i'm a she i'm gonna see you oh you're gonna be at a show tonight oh shit yeah yeah oh tonight me in boston ritchie we're out in the club tonight um Yeah, if you guys want to come meet me, come take a shot with me.

Come hang out and just watch a performance, watch Boston Richie. He just dropped some music. And he's out here. You know, he popped out for me. I want to give him a lot of credit and a lot of things. Ever since my first interview with them, you know, I've always, you know, me, I don't really care about some of the street stuff that these codes that people care about. They always told me his team saying, you know, act, I'm going to be honest with you.

I, like, we fuck with you. Like we When everybody was shelving us And everybody didn't want no parts to do with us You spoke highly of us You were a real nigga basically You didn't switch up And everybody knows

I'm never to switch up guy like You know what I mean When everybody hates six nine I'm still my friend Like it doesn't matter to me And I'm not only talking about In rumors or whatever of like cooperation But that's just who I am right

Um whether Tory did it or not like I'm like yo Tory's been cool with me I'm not gonna just say the right politically thing Like fuck that guy So his team You know by the way they got a hot song now Help me She's going crazy

The Ratchez Love is going crazy on TikTok And when I was about to have my show in Miami Um Boston Richie I talked to his people I was like yeah I think you know It was going to be like a podcast show With the performer

Or a couple of performers I was like yo I know y'all be in Florida Maybe I could get y'all out to that And they literally told me This act listen I'm gonna be honest with you for you, whatever you want, we got you. Like, bro, you, you looked out for us and you spoke so highly of us

on the biggest media platform there is without getting, you never got nothing from us. You just did it because you thought you liked the music and you thought it was the right thing to say at the time. And it were like, yo, listen, we owe you one. We owe you one for you not switching up. And, yeah, so I actually have a great relationship

with his team, his brother specifically too. and even this show tonight is a culmination of that where they're like, yo, act, yo, listen. Like, these motherfuckers wouldn't even make me pay for a flight. I'm like, y'all out. It was like, nah, nah, like, we fuck with you, nigga. Like, we won't pull up just for you on some shit. So, all right, I really appreciate these guys.

Okay, and by the way, that goes a long way with media. You know, I always talk about these relationships. And this is what I be, you know, not to get off the beaten path a little bit, because I know y'all do say I jump around with points. I miss the days. And if you wonder why, you know, some people might call it dick riding or dick sucking, whatever you I want to call it,

these media people, they have either one side of relationships with rappers or they don't develop those relationships where somebody really would want to reciprocate certain shit to them. And y'all know that's how it is. It's a reason why most of these media do, these hip-hop artists, whether it's Cardi, whether it's

Cardi young boy shit even Drake is the reason why they kind of ostracize everybody else and they kind of fuck with who they fuck with but I do want to like give just an advice for like media people out there like when you help these artists early on their career

try to develop a relationship it don't mean you got to always talk nice about them it definitely doesn't mean that right if they drop a whack song supposed to say it's whack but it should be kind of a hey listen I'm trying to help you and give you promotion

and hopefully I can bring my audience to whatever, whatever. But also on the other side, I hate rappers who think it's completely one-sided, right? You know what I mean? Give something back to the media members, whether it's giving them some exclusive details, breaking news, maybe an interview. Shit, maybe doing a promotional show for them

or something like that. It could help their platform. You know, I hate artists that only leach off the platforms as long as they need them and just keep moving on to other platforms without still paying back. And I hate also media members or brands that they kind of cannibalize off of you until like you become irrelevant. Like some people would be like, why do you still post a little pump in like 6-9?

Well, well, I'm really close to 6-9, but shit, there was a time that I post pump all the time. So a pump just hit me. It's like, I got just dropped. I could be like, nigga kick rocks. We're not taking few no more. I'm going to throw that up. You get what I'm saying? Like, you know, it's just part of the relationship.

It got to be a give and take of it. Anyway, we'll get into that. You guys could tell me where we're going to start today. Again, there's just multiple things we could address, offer it, with the obvious being, young thug being free. I also, what else I put in the headline? Oh, okay, how Future and Drake squashed their beef. That was interesting.

And what else, what else, what else? And, oh, we do got to talk about a thing that I, you know, I'll save it for later. I'll say it for later, but I do think there is an attack happening on hip hop and hip hop media specifically and specific. And I do want to address it because let me tell you this. I always tell you, I always say this. When you're never be too happy that somebody is, you know, especially to be like cancer culture or censorship or whatever.

When you're so happy that someone you're competing with or someone's in the same realm or someone you don't like gets, you know, rubbed out the paint for reason A, I always say when you dig in a grave, make sure you always dig to, right? Because what happens to someone else always happen to you? You know, even when, you know, I thought I even gave Metro booming a lot of grace when it came to this new,

new topic about the lawsuit that was filed against him. You know, when there was a lawsuit filed against me, he retweeted it, right? Like, yo, look at this shit. You know what I mean? But of course, I realized back then and I realized now, this is why,

this is exactly why, you know, the principles I try to stick to, which is when you dig in a grave, grave just make sure you dig too so you know you're going to see some issues i speak of a now that really got it ain't got nothing to do with me but when you're in this media thing and you allow that to happen to someone else it's only a matter of time before they get emboldened enough to try to you so we will get to that as well now first and foremost let me we'll actually start off hot we'll start off hot today don't start off hot let's do it um so my god

Can I not spell? Oh, I can't spell. Okay, culture, millennial, Instagram. By the way, shout to one of our people who we fuck with. I don't know. I'm not following back. Here we go. Here we go.

Here we follow. Yo, so shout to my boy, culture millennials. You know, we fuck with them. And there's like a huge group of really independent media. Some might be blog pages, meme pages. Some of them are like, you know, Twitter, you know, repost pages. But, you know, we have, I think. consider everybody new media and I try to fuck

with as many people as possible. They're one of her, I want to call them allies, so to speak. And they reposted this story, I seen. And it said, Drake and Future resolve their issues, according to Elliot Wilson. And it says, all I can really say is,

they got on the phone and whatever seemed to be the issues, they seem to come to a place of resolving that Metro not included. Where did this come from? Okay, now I think there's a longer video of it There's a longer video of it where Is it here? Okay, here we go In future

Of gotten on the phone And it resolved their difference Wait Wait, is my audio? Is it that clip? Is it my audio? Or is that that clip? Oh, we got to talk about Meg as well Oh my God Yo, if you're talking about my bad timing

I can't wait to talk about the Meg thing Let's if we can get a better audio here. Here go. Drake and Future. Oh, it's the same thing. Got it on the phone and it resolved their difference. Wait. What a time to be alive?

A good authority, Drake and Future, have at least gotten on, at least gotten on the phone and resolved their differences. I don't know what that means. Obviously, we saw a young thug, I mean, I know, though. Yeah, young thug. Yeah, yeah, I got it.

From prison, Foxyrated. Without the energy of a day, us get it back going. So I think that helped the energy with future we posted it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I know they did, all I can really say is they got on the phone and whatever scene that issues, they seem to come to a place of resolving that. Metro not included. There's no trust there still with Metro, but I do believe the Drake of Future are back on the same page. What the reveal would be, I don't know, but probably with the music I would think when it's time. Like, do we get a Drake party album? Does Drake come out with a single with a future?

the speech from my future. I didn't get another future album. He's crazy. Matthew another album. I think it comes back out through the music, but I think it's very interesting that, you know, the guy was part of this trust movement, trust you, still don't trust you, but you know, obviously, we know Drake in future has so much history. Drake obviously was one saying he didn't really know we never really met you, at the length of all the taps of all the B-20. So it makes sense of some capacity. But yeah, all I know is that I can say with my chest, And people may deny, because I heard very clearly

that they got on the phone at least and they're a different place for a future. So I love to hear that. I love to hear that. Hmm. That was interesting. So, um,

shit, I ain't going to lie to you. While I couldn't be on stream, right? I was trying to stay on stream, but I couldn't. I was in the streets with it. What I was actually doing, um, I was hitting up everybody in their mama.

You know what I mean? Hey, got longer reach is a big act. I wanted to hear how it went down. Who facilitated it? Did young thug put this thing together from jail? We know he's not released, but he did he put it together from jail? We all know about the tweet that kind of came out randomly that was saying, yo, Drake, future,

Metro, we all brothers, music came the same without us. We do know a lot of this dissension and maybe you could see maybe a cultural uprising against, I kind of really treat it like the election where I felt like people were trying to vote Drake out. That kind of came from, you know, and I always thought Future was so instrumental in that because Metro was just a producer no matter how great he is as a producer

and how powerful he does have some legit power there. Future is a voice and controls such a stronghold in hip-hop that he's damn near culture. We all know Kendra culture too, but Future Culture. That's the streets. You get what I'm saying? and him being a part of an album, two albums necessarily that came out saying, we still don't trust you.

It was, to me, a lot of this doesn't start, and we probably don't get to the point of Drake and Kendrick squaring up if future is not a part of this, right? Initially. So really, I was thinking, damn, all right, let's see how it goes. Now, I, you know, one thing, I have been able to clarify, right? And I do want to say, big shout out to my man, Elliot Wilson. But with all due respect,

I've spoken to extremely credible sources on both sides. And Drake and Future has not been on the phone. So not too sure who gave Elliot Wilson the authority to say this. But from what I hear, that is not true. That is a 100% cap. Now, I'm not going to say Elliot Wilson is contorting or misrepresenting facts, but whoever his sources, from what I've heard, whoever that sources ain't telling the right thing.

So, again, I'm, you know, I'm pretty sure he'll rock with his sources, but I think I rock with mine, okay? And from what I've heard that is not true. Again, only thing I call to confirm multiple places on both sides, did Future and Drake get on the phone to resolve shit? And the answer was categorically, no, that conversation does not happen. So just letting you know that while this sounded great and that all the media outlets have reprinted it,

it's the reason why Drake hasn't commented, future hasn't commented, because it ain't true, okay? So, you know, doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. It doesn't mean that I don't personally want it to happen, and I think every fan does want it to happen. But from what I'm hearing at this moment,

that reconciliation has not yet completely occurred if it's going to occur. We don't even know if it's going to occur, right? I only know the only thing I verified was there was no conversation that was had between the Vadius cash or is that his name or Cash Wilburn at this point and Aubrey Drake Graham there was no on the phone conversation at all so hopefully they get get back together man because we still do need water time to be alive but but um it ain't it ain't happen yet man it did not happen okay so I wish I wish today I was able to come in

here with like because I have plans I was like all right I'm going to get all the details of how it happened whatever whatever maybe we I could get some slight insight to directly what the issue is but I am being told that that is that is just not true that is just not true so um you know I think I think Elliot probably has to go check his source and see what they say but it ain't happened they happen so we'll see now granted you know I've

now let's get into a little bit of you know and by the way Elliot's a journalist right I just got them sources and the sources know

when they tell me it's going out they know not to lie to me the source is loud of me the source ain't the source no more okay you're just a liar

lying to me anyway but I confirmed on both sides this ain't happen what I will say is that he might not have a direct source. You see guys on good authority, that might be the conversation

that's happening in the industry circles because shit, I don't know directly from either party, but I have on good authority, why supposedly the beef with Metro and drink, not beef, but like, where they're, like, apparently,

I've been told the actual disagreement they had that they cut communications off. I don't know if that's true. and I'm still not going to say. But that's hearing it from people who would know, or I believe would know, not hearing it from either party or direct subsidiaries of either party.

So, you know, it's like we're kind of playing telephone here a little bit. But, and also I promised him I was like, yeah, I'm glad you gave me some insight on this, but I'm not here to put that out. At least a future, not a future. I mean, I'm the Metro and I'm drinking, allegedly. Which I have to said. which is good.

But I heard that this future and Drake reconciliation through a phone call has not occurred. Right? I don't know if there's anything more pertaining to that. I think that's what everyone was talking about, right?

Drake future. Yeah, I see everybody printing it. Yeah. That's just not true. And also, I have no idea, to be very fair. I have no idea if the issues with Drake and future, I don't know what their issue is, by the way.

I've heard what the issue is between Drake and Metro. And I don't know if them doing an album together, diss and Drake damn there is tied to a mutual issue. I don't know that. Only thing I know is that despite complex and everybody else printing this, it ain't happened. Okay?

again. You know how it's funny? I'm going to tell you how it's funny chat. You back in the day, I remember when I was first to report that 6-9 got locked up. Nobody reported until TMZ reported. You know many things I've reported first? Nobody. I watch how if anybody else says something, they just grab it.

They'd be like, this is facts. These days, I keep telling you, I may. I might just want to listen to act a little bit more. I mean Might just want to Feel me I might just I don't know

Just a hunch Just a hunch Alright but anyway At least fans celebrated for like a day I was trying to let it linger too I was I was gonna let it linger Like let me see how long people Like damn

Niggas believe this hook line I've seen Drake fans Salute they were like yo Yeah everybody coming back around And by the way I'm not saying By the way people are coming back around I'm starting to see there's a warm and up process. The best way to I describe what's going on with Drake is like,

I think niggas went against Drake and it was almost like politics, right? So like even fans that were like fans of both had to pick aside. Okay, cool. Kendrick is in whatever position he's in now. But it's not like Drake is like out of here. And because here's a reality just to let you all know, right? if you have a podcast, and I'm talking to every podcast, if you're on this microphone, if you are on Twitter and you're tweeting, talking, discussing hip-hop, let me just tell you how

it kind of works. You see, one guy who a lot of y'all went against, he's going to give you something to talk about every three days. He's going to post something goofy, duck lips. I consider doing it. He's going to be interacting with the culture. He's way more visible. And it's so funny how people criticize him for the visibility,

yet we all eat off the visibility. Pause. If a rapper goes ghost, you don't got nothing to talk about. What you're going to talk about a nigga album for five years ago? We actually, this is, I've been so confused. So everybody in the media that went, fuck Drake. As now realized that the guy that they were saying, fuck him for probably won't be seen until the Super Bowl.

He gives you one video and pieces again. won't be seen to the Super Bowl and it's only so much you could keep talking about and say, hey, yeah, not like us was such a great, it was such a great summer. Yeah, it's still number one this week. Perfect. But them niggins have ran out of content.

They ran out of content. You know what the bigger story is? Drake persevering. Okay, what do you want to say? One battle, lost the battle, you take a pick. Okay. Well, what about his relationships

with these other people? He has a really interesting relationship with 21. 21's the bridge to Metro. How does 21 navigate that? Well, him and future's done a lot of stuff and they moved around in the same circles

historically. How do they play that? You get to realize as a podcaster, you end up talking about the nigga you hate a lot more than you talked about the guy you claimed you like. So then after a while, unless you're just going to have hate

just written on your sleeves, you kind of become warmed up to it a little bit and everybody who was, you know, quoting a A minor shit and don't that fuck y'all up a little bit, if y'all have deemed anybody, and it's not me, I'm just saying, anybody who have deemed Drake as a pedophile, there should be no recourse. There should be no way you want to indulge in conversation

about that person anymore, right? You shouldn't want to be cool with him. You shouldn't want to kick it with them. You shouldn't want to roll dice with him. You shouldn't want to make music with him. You shouldn't want to hear him sing the R&B songs to ladies. He might be on some Kelly shit if that's what you believe. But you've noticed little by little it's happening.

I'm watching him. It's trickling back. I'm like, ah, okay, okay. I like this. Anyway, word to the wise. And this is where I use the word good authority. I have some good authority that everybody that's been left out in the cold. there's a blanket

grab a grab a sweater okay just grab a sweater okay however still as a fan I do wish certain things get patched up and I do hope

I do hope that Drake and Future eventually resolve their issues you know maybe I try to get them on the phone and they take 21 Savage to get me and meek on the phone imagine if it took a big act

to get Future and Drake on the phone that'll be a good one okay anyway it ain't happen all right moving on Okay, let's get into this young thug situation. I really wish I was here because this feels like an eight-hour stream while, well, 10-hour stream, if we were there live the day.

So much things to kind of like analyze and take into accountability or taking into account, actually. Somebody says, stay out of it, act with the future and jay shit. Yeah, of course I'm saying out of it. I'm just joking around. What the hell? Listen, let me say this. What the hell do I? It ain't none of my business.

Why two friends longer than I knew that knew each party or a new dream. Like, why the fuck would I jump in that? You think as a fan, I care about them? Well, I do want them to make some new music, but whatever they be even over, if they would throw, like, them being friends is worth hundreds of millions of dollars in collaborations performing together, maybe going on tour together. If they don't want to get along, I got to imagine that they have good reason. And it ain't for me to tell them when, when is grown-ass men, or even try to facilitate them

as grown ass men trying to squash or mend anything. And maybe Thug could be that person. I think Thug would probably, you know, be that person if it's, you know. But yeah, we'll see. Someone said, Drake House got shot at a beef is never over. Future had nothing to do with that. That is not future, brother. That is not future at all.

That's not future. That is not future. That's not future. And again, I have speculative reasons why I think future. and Drake don't get along, but it's nothing confirmed. And, yeah, I mean, I wouldn't even ask. I wouldn't even ask to be like, yeah,

so tell me how y'all friendship of like over 10 years broke down. What the fuck? Somebody said, I don't know if Drake's house shooting anything to do with future. Yeah, I do. I, hold on. The reason why I know it ain't over the future is because it's kind of like,

If you talk to the people who are in the know, they know where that came from. That was the future, okay? So you eliminate him by the fact that he's no, he's not one of the people who you would be looking at, right? So yeah. Okay, we'll talk about Lucey's foot. All right, good.

Cool. So we got that out the way. Future and Drake, haven't talked. Young Thug is free, so let's get into that. So Young Thug actually came home from jail. I believe Friday. No, no, or Saturday, actually. No, no, it was Friday.

Wait, what day is today? I'm like fucked up with the days. No, today's Saturday. He came home yesterday. Wait. Am I tripping? No, he came on Thursday. Wait.

I'm losing track on my dates, y'all. Hold on. Okay, so this is a video of young thug being in the backseat being released from Fulton County. Jail. He was in the back seat with his lawyers after being released. And I think this is Brian Steele up front. I think this is the other attorney that is co-counsel, the black one.

And I think Jeffrey is in the back right passenger side. Yes. A couple of SUVs follow him out. Okay. So Young Thug was released. How did we get here? Because it was a really wild ride that day. And I said that respectfully because the case got to a impasse

where the prosecutor in being so tired of amateur prosecutorial conduct literally said, I am going to consider a mistrial, and even asked, she asked the defense attorneys, who wants me to consider a mistrial? And a lot of people raise their hands. Then what happened next was they said, well, we want you to consider a mistrial with, prejudice let me say we can't find that clip I can't type now oh wow okay all right wait wait hold on Matthews before you say we have a stipulation F judge once you rule on our

mistrial right on my motion so wait hold let me just go back to the first one so here we go let's give me one second the judge is super frustrated and out of frustration you know this is the third judge they've had on the case, but the judge, um, is it here? You know, she's been reaming out the prosecutor for, for weeks. Significant to you. Phone number. Here we go. It explains, here we understand the court. I'm asking him what handle it's next to. This is the prosecutor. This is judge. And your honor, what he did after seeing what he saw on this social media page. You represented at the bench that none of this.

That being the writing on the right side of the picture, which we're all squinting at because it's tiny on the piece of paper. And so I am relying upon you to actually be honest with the court and opposing counsel so that we can deal appropriately with the evidentiary issue. Was any of it being offered for the truth? And you said no. And then you turned around and after it was admitted over the... overruling of the hearsay objection based on the representation that nothing was being offered for its truth, you drew the witness's attention to the phone number and tried to have the witness testify to whose phone number it was. If that is not offered for the truth, what is it?

Your Honor, it explains what he next, what steps he next took. It wasn't that he sat there and took this phone number and said, oh, this judge was going in, going in. Phone number was the best in college. And your honor is so. Okay. So that happens. And let me see. I'm trying to find the actual clip.

But it was a clip where the judge is so frustrated. I go to YouTube and she says, yo, I'm going to think about a mistrial in this case. Young Doug. Mistrial. Judge, I think it's here. Okay. Welcome to 11 alive midday.

Here we go. Sorry. Defendants. Well, that prompted the defense to move for a mistrial. Okay. So what essentially happened, and I'll just do an explanation rather than you guys just kind of watch me skip around. Essentially, they bring up this guy on the stand, right?

Now, this is just rules for the court. You can't present evidence that, you know, there's a jury there. There's supposed to be neutral and impartial. It's the reason why if you came into this trial saying you listen to Young Thug or he's your favorite artist, they're going to dismiss you as a jury. Likewise, if you came in in jury selection and said, yo, man, I hate that nigger young thug. They're going to dismiss you as well. You should have basically about here.

Like you should be like you're neutral. You don't like this guy too much. You don't dislike him too much. Now you could know about it, but you shouldn't have any opinion that goes either way. Why? They want your vote for this trial to be. solely made up of what you hear through the trial. Now, the prosecutor's been messing up all throughout this, okay?

The first judge messed up as well with the imparted hearing, but also they have been kind of presenting evidence in a really sloppy way. Now, why is this happening? Or why did this happen? Essentially, the prosecutors, not only were they put on the case or did they take over lead in the case midway, because the first prosecutor took another job, this is how long it took, right?

So the first prosecutor took another job. It was like an upgrade somewhere else. And these two prosecutors, or two lead prosecutors, Miss Love and Miss Hilton, they took over. But they inherited 300 witnesses, right? You remember at one point they were trying to bring up Richel McQuan, wife and Lucci. Even mid-trial, after having 300 witnesses, they brought up my name. They said, yo, well, to help explain it, there's a guy who did YouTube about it. Maybe we could get academics to come in.

Remember I did videos on a young thing like 2015? So, and the judges is like, well, why didn't y'all present? That's how we need a blogger to come up here to talk about this. And they're like, you're not going to grant that. This is mid-trial. So essentially, they have so many witnesses. They're in the position of presenting it so sloppy because they don't have a good handle over the evidence. Not only that, they did the worst thing possible.

Now, this kind of showcase for me an essential flaw between what is, um, an essential flaw with the state prosecuting a case versus the feds. Let me give you an example. You see all them games why Sele Woody went up there and played? Oh, I don't recall. My neck, my back, all that bullshit. If say 6-9 went up there and did that, he would be doing four years. The reason being is that cooperation, right?

And when you are signing these deals that are getting. Sweetheart deals, by the way. It's meant to elicit the testimony that the state believes you're going to give. Except in federal court, when you snitch, called Queen for a day, you basically do a proffer. The way snitching works on a federal level is that the cooperation or snitching is only then considered at sentencing. Okay? Now, granted, they do use immunity, but they use it way different from the YSel case. Here's how YSel prosecutors fucked up.

They gave these guys like blanket immunity, blanket immunity, right? With no threat of them going back to jail other than if they lied. So you know what these guys went up there and did? Oh, I forgot. Oh, I did. And, oh, let me talk to my Lord. Oh, I can't lie, right? So they're playing games

So the thing with the feds Like after 6-9 snitch He was expecting the way how the feds Respond to you telling Is they'll write a what's called a 5K1 letter At sentencing now the thing with the feds They have mandatory minimums So you catch a re-code that's 25

The judge could like you, love you Can't sentence you below 25 years There's mandatory minimums unless there is a 5K1 letter, which means you cooperated with the government. So when they have that cooperate, cooperant letter, which, by the way, for 6-9, he only got that letter like three days before sentencing.

Right? So essentially, you got a stitch, and then the judge is going to, the prosecutor is going to say, all right, you know, your snitching was adequate enough. We'll give you the letter. In state court, they gave these things full immunity, and all they had to do was not get up there and lie,

but they could get up there and spin these prosecutors, laughing their face, playing their face, and these prosecutors look stupid. Now, they gave away too many immunity and too many deals because not only was there so many defendants, but they were trying to hope to get, you know, the case to collapse on itself where half of the defendants, remember it was 28 at first.

It's only like seven that took it to trial. They were hoping that the remainder, of those guys with their testimony now that they have immunity and they can't plead the fifth in the 10 third and you know the the the the prosecutors giving them the sweet art deal they would go in there and help corroborate whatever the state was trying to present instead it looked like they took the deals and was basically in their playing in front of the judges well the prosecutors face so let me get to this part and we'll get to why we got to the plea negotiations so it gets to court that

they're fucking up the defense attorneys the people on the stand are playing in their face to the point where the judge this is how Glanville got off the case the judge is tight because you know like

with all the respect and I don't give a fuck like this just rally with this my nigga we're glad young thug is free but half of this shit they presented against a nigga he did you get what I'm saying

and the judge can see it everybody can see it this is why I thought if it went to a jury they're still going to finally guilty if it went to a jury now it would definitely get overturned it would definitely get overturned because there's too many mistakes like brad if you don't believe none of this shit you rent the car that was using come on bruff come on come on the only problem is yo the first judge you

you know money can put like this you know the prosecutors suck when they're watching you're the judge watching and the judge is like you're got to help this motherfucker that's how the first judge got kicked off imagine the referee the referee watching two teams playing like this team sucks so much like the ball come in a direction and they just kick the ball to you know what they just throw the ball in the hoop type shit like yo you got to help one team so the judge glanville they realize these black women miss love and miss hilton can't don't know how to control the witness so they so they have an ex parte hearing and the judge reaffirms to the to the guy yo to woody you can't be lying in the court and and and he started to referee in a way that that's what the

transcripts prove referee in a way in the ex parte hearing to benefit the prosecutors to say, yo, you know you're facing this like kind of almost like feels coercive, right? But why is the judge doing that?

Because the judge is watching these rookies don't know what they're doing. So anyway, that judge gets kicked off. A second judge get kicked off for some conflict because they're bailing for fucking somebody on the case. Then this judge gets on. Now, let me also tell you how this.

Remember when I showed you out of picture of why I said Woody taking a picture with a court reporter? I hope you're showing you. starting to get the picture here. Okay. The prosecutors, either they're playing dumb or they are dumb. But even the neutral parties, say the court reporter, the judges, they fuck with Yself. Well, not Glanville, didn't. But like, Shorty here, and this is Glanville's court reporter, too. They fuck with why I sell. You get what I'm saying? They, like, they're on their social

me and talk about slat, all of that. You feel me? The lawyers, I don't know if y'all seen Like one of the lawyers who took a plea for the other dude Look at this shit right here This shit was crazy look Any message to arrest the defense attorney Still fighting for their clients this case? Good luck You know

That's a lawyer So again You know I see a lot of people Taking this as a universal win Which it is a win for a young thug to get out But there's so many elements here you have to consider Fulton County is a shit show the court reporters

the judges some of them not all and the people who are working in the court system seem very empathetic to the people who are being accused of the crimes that cause this whole proceeding to happen anyway the prosecutors don't know what they're doing and they overcharge

they should have no yo they tried their best and this is finally will's fault really they try their best to get young thug on calling the shots for murder for hire. Now, I did get some inside of information. Because shout to the, you know,

I know there's a lot of passionate fans, and I'm speaking as someone who has talked to all sides. Okay? There are a few fans that are just stands of these artists. And listen, I'm that too for artists. That, listen, I don't want to call out a specific artist's name, but I've looked at facts at times and be like, man, I should don't look good.

But free my nigga, man. Free my nigga, man. It is what it is. So I understand fans thinking like that. But the conversation that's happening out of Fulton County now, through reporters, people in the community, and also people who are in and out of the DA's office, is that, well, could you, after watching this case,

longest case in Georgia history, could crime really be prosecuted if the other side got money? Now, let me give you interested, a tidbit, this is some information I got. This prosecutor, Fannie Willis picked this up, but there was a time that the feds supposedly was going to pick this up.

So the feds, before the feds, before they filed on Thug, remember they did the raid. And by the way, there's still some gun charges. They had silencers and all that type of shit that was found in and modified guns, I think of switches, that was found in Young Thugs home. I don't think the feds are going to touch it, though. But the feds were supposed to come in on with this,

right? Now, if the feds would Sorry, if the feds would have came in with this, the feds would have did this like dirt Because here's a problem of how they try to prosecute Thub. They try to prosecute Thug for all this ancillary gang shit, but y'all really only wanted him for getting Donovan Nutt Thomas killed. That's the reason why y'all wanted to prosecute him. Now Fulton County had been a shit show for a while.

Fulton County locked up two or three other people and tried to prosecute them for the murder before and then drop the charges because supposedly they realize one of the persons had nothing to do with it. So they tried to prosecute the wrong people before and they've been hearing, oh, Thug, Thug, Thug, Thug, but they couldn't get no proper proof

to link him to that murder. That's why you see half of these crimes they're talking about bullshit. Oh yeah, Thug had his man shoot something up. I'm not saying not true, but it's just like, that's not why y'all have him here. Y'all have him here because y'all think he's the one who killed got Donovan, the Thomas killed. But they can't prove it.

So the feds looked at it. The feds said, now, here's another thing that goes into this whole feds that have 97% conviction rate. When the feds pick up something, you're done. Hook, line, a sinker, okay? They come in with snitches, wiretaps. They're coming with the whole shabang. They're not coming to, okay, listen, let's go figure it out now. No, they pick it up.

and they usually have the right of, you know, depending on what jurisdictions they're dealing with, Fulton County is going to hand over to the feds. Why they got way more resources in terms of funding to get everything they need to get this conviction? So the feds looked at this case and they said no. Now, we don't know why they said no. They could have been like, uh, whatever.

Now granted, if the feds had picked this up, I think it goes different because the feds is not doing, well, why is so what he did it? You can't do it to the feds. Like, why so would he be doing 60 years in jail right now? Because they would have had him up there snitching for five weeks. And if he did that, which, by the way, there would be no cameras because of the federal court. But they would have just said, hey, you know what?

We don't think that this cooperation was satisfactory. And we're not writing you a 5K1 letter. And then he gets sentenced for whatever crime he was going to be sentenced for. And then the mandatory minimums is going to give him at least 30. So he couldn't do that to the feds. You could do it to the state because the state just gave him some blank immunity. the reason why I think Doug even after he thesis is it's going to be good and fed still won't fuck with him even though I'll tell you the pitfall that I think is going to come later I'll give you a hint

it's a probation thing they're reeling they're mad they're seething they're tight young thug done embarrass the entire goddamn state so oh oh here's why the feds won't touch it it's on record and in all these immunity deals These guys just have, there's too many people, even if they had went for another trial, there's too many people with immunity. You don't give out all your immunity. Like the immunity is like a draw one or a draw a four card. You can't, you don't get to take the immunity back and give it again.

They already got it. So if you went back, now people could just see the go ghost. All right. Well, listen, already got the immunity and I got, I got this deal already. I'm done. Okay. So I know I went on a little bit of tangent, but this is how we got to this point, right? You can see, yo, this judge is just tired of her, right?

Let me see if we can find the actual audio. I don't think we can't. A mistrial version with the names. Yeah, I don't think I can find it. I think the judge is like, who else wants a mistrial? Just one piece of video. If not, if I can't find it, I'll just explain it without. I think.

I can't find whatever. Anyway, is this? Shirt. No, no, this way back. Anyway, okay. Here's the point. So, no, okay.

So pretty much what happens is that, the judge says, oh, this is the last mistake, the judge, so the judge is already tight. Like, yo, y'all are bringing up, y'all bringing up these witnesses,

y'all haven't properly vetted. Every time the witness come up here, like y'all seem shocked by what they're saying. They're playing in the court's face, and then y'all face. They put up evidence. Like, there's mad objections to the evidence. You know, there's, like, mad attorneys.

And everybody, like, they've got four attorneys. That nigga got two attorneys, that person got two. So this mad lawyers just watching the prosecutor just keep fumbling. Objection, objection. And every 20 seconds, this white judge is like, like, yo, could you get this right? So the last thing they did wrong was they put up a mistrial free qua.

I think maybe this will get the clip. Can I get it? Yeah, right. I didn't read out. I mean, so the jury didn't see. So this is what led to the last. time where mistrial was offered, then we get to the plea agreements, and we'll get to the plea agreements, break that down,

then we don't get to thugs plea. So just give me some patience, all right? Yeah, but now the jury has heard it. I don't think it is really that, you know, much of a crisis because there is going to be this stipulation that, you know, Quay is not always either of these defendants. So, nor is it obvious to everybody that free, you know, free whomever is such a quote.

about who knows, you know, everything these days. And so it doesn't necessarily indicate that whomever Quay is, Quay spent time in jail or in custody or in prison or anything. I mean, they say it about, you know, Hollywood stars who are in a breakup. Okay, so to kind of explain it, a witness was brought in. They asked them to read an Instagram post. They put the Instagram post up on a monitor. and on the monitor, it had blurred out free quay, right?

Why is that important? Remember I told you you're supposed to have the jury be very neutral in how they think of someone? And only the evidence presented to show guilt or innocence should use to have their mind changed. Well, it's the reason why when they show up to court during a trial, they're allowed, they're actually given a budget that they could get something nice to wear. You don't come in your prison blues. You don't come in with handcuffs unless you're just wilding, right? Because they don't want to taint the jury's mind to look at somebody in cuff in a prison outfit to say,

he probably sitting there in cuffs in a prison outfit because he's guilty already. So they have you come out in a suit that you do your thing, right? So a big part of it is if you think someone is already locked up or has been locked up, you start to think, if you heard a nigga got locked up 15 times, and now he gets charged with something that could send him to jail for the 16th time. You're going to be like, if it comes down to 50, 50, you might be like, man, this thing got locked up 15 times already, man. If they say he did, he did it, right? So it was explicitly told that the prosecutors cannot remind the jurors of any time during the period of this RICO case that certain members were locked up.

Okay? So you can't bring it up, right? If they, you know, the jury comes up with their own, oh, maybe he wasn't, why wasn't he around for this part of the story? If they think that he was locked up, cool, but you can't say it. So they put up this image and it's on the PowerPoint. And on the PowerPoint, they blur out the thing that says free qua. They give the guy on the stand a paper. And on the paper, it actually says, it says free qua, it wasn't blurred out.

Now on the paper, you get what I'm saying? So, oh, yeah, this was it right here. So you see right here, this is where free qua was at, right? And this one popped up. That's why I said, state's exhibit. This is on a PowerPoint. So what the court is seeing is this, but then the guy is reading from like a booklet. Okay, he's reading from like a pamphlet or reading like a printout of this.

And on a printout, free qua is not actually blurred out. So he says it in court. So he says, ain't nothing more compatible than a trench, a carbon while in the trenches. NSLB, NSLB, 2B's life size. Free qua booking riches. And as soon as that happens, the process, the lawyers for the defense squad said,

yo, yo, whoa, whoa. We want to motion for a mistrial. Like, what the fuck? Like, you're telling the, you can't,

you can't tell them that my, my client was locked up at this point. This happened already again. Okay. Now, here's, um, here's essentially what,

um, is turned into. Is fix your sloppiness. So again, she cussing out The prosecutor's like, yo, y'all sloppy. Y'all this. Your sloppiness. So that everybody won't have wasted, you know,

10, 12 months of their lives in this trial. Wait, is it Quay? I don't know what the niggins, man. What the fuck? Is fix your sloppiness. I'll call him quay. So that everybody won't have wasted, you know, 10, 12,

months of their lives in this trial. Yeah, we can't come over. Okay, do it now. Damn. You know how odd this is? The prosecutor, you ever went to traffic court? The prosecutor and the judge

working hand in hand. They're like gang members. They're like cool. They're like buddy, buddy. When you see the judge cussing out a prosecutor like this, in open court, this is televised to the world,

this just shows you how frustrated they are with amateur your goddamn prosecution. Okay. You didn't read that. I mean, so the jury didn't see it, but now the jury has heard it.

I don't think it is. Yeah, so again, the jury didn't see it, but the jury heard it. It's really that, you know, much of a crisis because there is, it's not so obviously.

The free quay reference. Oh, it's quay. This wasn't even his post, was it? Okay. So that happened. And the judge literally says,

you know what, I'm going to consider I'm going to consider if there should be a mistrial. So are you asking, what kind of a mistrial are you asking for? Your Honor, I believe that we were goaded into the mistrial. Okay, well, I do not believe that because if... So, so she turned down, so they all go for a mistrial, right? They all go for mistrial.

the judge comes back and by the way the judge actually suggested it damn there the judge was like yo yo who else wants to mistrial so one motion from mistrial then she asks who else and everybody else raise that you had seen miss hilton's face when that came out of the witness's mouth

she was appalled and I do not believe that they are purposefully trying to insert error into this trial to make y'all ask for a mistrial so that they can try this case again. I think it is continued and I am sorry y'all have, you know, this gigantic,

ginormous universe of evidence that maybe if you narrowed down, you would not be making these kinds of mistakes, but I believe that to be a mistake, Your Honor. So I'm going to deny a motion for a mistrial with prejudice. Now, what that means is, with prejudice means you can't followback. It's usually a punitive action, right? Which means we're going to punch them for their mistake. We think they're playing around. They're just unprepared and it's so egregious at this point. Not only do we feel like it's not fair to the defendant, but you have wasted and caused the defendant so much time of their life, you shouldn't even be allowed to do this again, right? A mistrial without prejudice means they have about like 60, 60 days in most places. Some will say

45 or 90 that the state has to elect to be. bring it to trial again and you would go through the whole process again. That one, I don't believe that the facts bear out. Would you like a mistrial without prejudice? Yes. You would? Who else would? That means, of course, that the state would be free to try everyone of you all again.

Just a moment. Okay. So a couple of them, a couple other defense members in the court. room said, yeah, we want that to. Essentially what ends up happening is that she takes a second to go think about it, right? And in thinking about it, you know, she didn't make a decision that day, but she was going to come back the next day. The next day, Farnie Willis, who runs the DA office, she doesn't necessarily prosecute cases, but her assistant DA's prosecute cases, include Ms. than Ms. Hilton. She calls a meeting with all the defense attorneys of YSL. Now, here's the reason

why she calls that meeting. They probably wasted a few million dollars to take this to trial for all the resources, all the cops, everything. You're wasting states, taxpayer money. So what ends up happening is that she's like, if this gets to be a mistrial, I'm going to be embarrassed. The longest trial ever in Georgia State, if it ends in a mistrial, we got to do it again. It becomes even longer. I look like a laughing stock. Let's try to cut our losses and let's try to offer some plea deals that we could wrap this up. It could be we could save a PR nightmare, but also the defendants, you know, again, I still believe if this had went to a jury, they're getting found guilty. It's just what you need to prove in a Rico is too simple.

It's a crime organization. Like, there's proof that there's shootings done. There's proof that people died. There's proof that people associated with this. Like, all of the beefing and everything that's with social media and public, yo, people who are beefing. And there's some money coming in. There's crime.

Like, you know, like, if you think people are that dense to believe that king slime doesn't designate or denigrate to be some type of, you know, status or why. S.L doesn't operate like a gang. Like, bro, I get it. Gunner admitted it, but it's just like, you could have a P-brain and you would realize, like, nah, they're doing crime over here. What the fuck? They're doing crime, right?

So then afterwards, if you know that they're doing crime, it's like, do you believe this person is having them do crime? And they got messages that they read in court with young thug is saying, yo, check this out. Yo, niggies got to get sacrificed in the name of this shit. It's kind of, pretty simple, right? So that's what I'm saying, even though the prosecutor has made so many errors

and they should have been did a mistrial a long time ago, the jury would have still, in my opinion, voted guilty. Now, as soon as it got to appeal, that shit's getting overturned. Because it's just too much shit, right? But I think the defense attorneys, and you know what's so funny about Pete, like, you know, I've seen like, you know,

some uneducated fans are like, yo, nah, act, you said it was going to be found guilty. Well, let me tell you this. if all of these defense attorneys was that confident that they were going to beat this case, you don't take 15 years probation with knowing that if you get caught around a gang member, get caught with a gun in a car, and they attribute it to you, or you fail a couple of piss tests or whatever the case is, you get sentenced to 20.

You're damn near near the end of the case. So if you really think that they didn't. got no shot of convicting you. Nigger, you already took it to trial, took it to the jury verdict. But that's why everybody came back because they know like, listen, you can't, the one thing you can't get back,

you can bring back that the guilty verdict, right? Because as I said, that would be definitely throwing away on appeal. But you can't get back these guys' lives. Their time, their freedom. And Young Thug is sitting in a jail cell rather than being out. He's probably racked up, you know, somebody gave me, um,

um, Like, they gave me a priceless. They say, yo. And I won't mention, but these are super attorneys. If you want you to hear the priceless, if you have a single murder, that's an M, right? So you need, you need million dollars. And these are the guys who they're going to beat this murder case for you.

You get what I'm saying? Hold on, I'm sorry. Now, if you get a RICO, you told them out that includes murder. because now they got a prep for a murder case, they got to prep for this overall organizational gang cases, they got to prep for cross-collateralize with other people who are being charged with you, who could implicate, like so much more

than just a standard murder case, right? That price goes up to three to four. Now, if you get the longest trial of history, this might be like $5 million, right? A lot of money, obviously for Young Thug, he got it and his freedom of prices, but he can't get back the time that he's missing out with his kids with his family

but also you know for the money he's spending he could have been out here working making it back right so Fannie Willis brings everybody in for a plea right and that's when the pleas

start to come down and one of the first pleas that we saw was let me see if I could find it where's one of the first plea one of the first pleas that come down is this one individual I don't know if it's quay

it might have been quay was it quay give me a second it might have been quay give me a second it might have been quay let's see I'm a father oh yeah it was quay okay

so quay takes a plea now people thought this was being strategic and I hope you are following they thought this was being strategic on the state side because if if the nature of the ability of

objection or motion actually for motion for mistrial was that they revealed that quay was incarcerated at the time well if quay is no longer a part of the case and is no longer a defendant that argument of hey y'all are prejudicing the jury by having them know that one of the guys were that's being on trial right now was incarcerated even though it was still matter because they're associating that Quay has done stuff with these other guys, so it still matters a little bit. But it weakens that argument. Essentially, they had Quay get a plea.

Now, I'm going to tell you why Quay took the plea. Quay originally, and I want to have the WISL indictment here. I want to show you what he was initially charged for. Let me see. Yssel. Okay, I do got the indictment here. Good. These are the names here.

Let's get to Clay. No, it's not this guy. Uh-oh. Oh, this guy's qua. Damn, it was all the type of names in this bitch. Where is Quay then? Yeah, okay. Oh, they got the same, both of them got the same joint.

Quay, Clay, okay, whatever. So Quay had theft by taking an attempted murder. And actually, I thought it was, I thought he, he had also a murder charge. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. He has count one, Rico, my bad. Count one RICO, then count 49 to 54. So everybody has count one, which is a RICO.

Then he has count 49 to 54. Let's go to count 49 over here. So he has murder. Participation in Criminal Street Gang, participation in Criminal Street Gang activity. Another participation is Criminal Street Gang and possession of firearm or whatever the case is, right? Because if it's up to 52.

So essentially he had a murder. So they come back around. They say, hey, Gway. Shut this out, bro. Just shut this out. Well, we're going to give you, we're going to give you 20 years, but you got to serve seven.

The rest you do on probation. So essentially he's been locked up for damn near three. He got to serve two more years in jail, and they'll get out on good behavior. If somebody offers you a deal when you're facing murder, that all you have to do is two more years in jail,

and you get out yeah you're going to get out on 13 years probation but niggily it's not really beating murder but it's kind of beaten murder right that's the thing about people say young let's be very clear

young thug didn't beat a RICO like you know beating a RICO means you went to trial and a jury said not guilty right and any of these plea agreements if there's more details that come up like for example if young thug come back up and start doing all this

no shit and you know what I mean doing all this you kill this thing, kill that nigga, they'll charge them with the same shit again, it don't matter. You know, as opposed to you beat it. And even if they do charge you later, because, you know, you could be in a criminal street gang at any point or get Rico at any point, anything that was prior to this acquittal

could not be used because it was already adjudicated. But everything that, you know, is now, it's in this plea, could be used again. It could be used to get, if deem necessary. But these prosecutors are tired, man. They got their ass beat by. young tug they do not want to do this again anyway so this dude quay essentially got a murder and is going to spend two more years in jail right so they already spent like three in state jail you you

only got to do like 60 to 70 percent that would be like five years so you got two more years and he's charged with murder right so of course he takes the deal by the way if you um seen how the plea went down he was his lawyer spoke in court, and I played this before, very clearly to say, yo, check this out.

You want to let y'all know that my client only knows about what he doing. He ain't telling on nobody. He ain't doing nothing else. He only know about what he doing. And they argued about that for a while. The next day, there was like one or two other people that took a plea.

And then finally, it was like young thug and one person turned down a plea. Well, we got to look at who that. was why I sell turned down plea there's one guy who turned down the plea yak Gotti right yeah gotty right is it yak yeah yeah got he turned it down which you know everybody's celebrating like that this case is over it's not right so now um so yak got he turned down he turned down this state latest plea offer and he

fully intended to take it to a jury and get a not guilty verdict. Let's see what Yag Gotti is actually charged with. Because I don't know why, you know, maybe they come back with another plea since, you know, young thug was always the big fish, right? Like they wanted, um, Doug. Oh, oh, he's charged a murder as well. Oh, yeah, Goddy's charged a murder. Oh, that's why.

Oh, wow. Now, I still think he gets a plea, but this whole case is a sham, right? if they really thought these guys were were guilty of these murders, they should have charged them separately. But they lumped it all in, they lumped all of this into this case. And essentially what's going to happen now, some of these guys are going to avoid a murder trial

and just get two, three years in jail for killing somebody. Allegedly, we don't know if they killed him. But yeah, so Yat Gotti said no. But I still don't think they're not going to keep wasting resources for Yac Gotti. Young thuggery got out. the case. Young thugs out. So once Young Thug is out, this whole case collapsed. Like, you can't justify spending maybe another half a million dollars to convict Yack Gotti. You know what I'm saying? So he had turned it down. This was before Thug, apparently Thug had turned his down too.

So he's been really toe and toe with Young Thug. So Young Thug turned his shit down. He turned it down. Now, Young Thug don't have a murder on his, right? Let me see what Jeffrey Williams had Jeffrey Williams had one in 56 and 56 the fuck was 66 yeah participation is criminal street gang and one obviously is conspiracy that could violate the racketeering statute right so he turned it down and let me see said two other accepted pleas quay accepted a plea and then Rodarius Ryan he accepted a plea and he was charged with or he was sentenced to I think this is Islam Life Shurdy, is it?

Yeah, I don't know what his sentence is. Anyway, all right, we dwindle down, we dwindle down and now we are here. So young thug turns down and, you know, let's see, young thug turned down, okay. So Young Thug, which, you know, I got to give it to Brian. Brian Steele.

Brian Steele is a fucking amazing attorney. They're negotiating for days. Young Thug knows they want him the most. But how the case is going, they've exhausted these prosecutors and also the judges so fed up with it.

They don't got no murder on Young Thug. Also, they're using the leverage to say, yo, y'all charges other nigger with murder and agreed to give him seven years in prison. I ain't, even though y'all saying that I got

nut killed, pause my nigga, y'all didn't charge me with nuts murder. Y'all didn't do a murder for a higher situation. Y'all was just kind of lightweight alleging it through the RICO Act. So he said if you gave this guy seven years for murder, I don't want to go home today.

Now, the prosecutors in negotiation even agreed and it's even said that young thug was offered, you know what he was offered. Fifteen years probation, but he goes home that day. Now, there were stipulations, and this, and Young Thug turned this turned it down. And I go on a lot, it's a big roll of the

dice. So after two days of negotiation counters and offers, Thug seizure. Let me read what was offered. They wanted a seizure of Young Thugs property. Oh, no, no, no. Actually, no, no, let me stop. Let me stop. Now, I don't think it was fully laid out what was the full plea deal, but the plea deal that he turned down, the last one before they got to court, was you could go home today,

15 years of probation, but there was a bunch of other stipulations. I don't know if it was forfeiture. I don't know what it was, but he had to plead guilty as well to the RICO statue, which, by the way, the way how it ended up turned out, he didn't. and he couldn't be around certain people. He also had to, he wasn't going to remain banned from Atlanta.

But it was way more stipulations than Young Thug was willing to deal with. So what Young Thug did in the most balliest move we've seen for some time in court, Brian Steele said no to the final offer, which is go home today and 15 years probation. I think there was some years of house arrest as well that might have been on it. But he said no and he said, I want the judge to determine our fate

because me, us and you can't come to a, a mutual, mutually agreed on plea. Let the judge determine our fate. Now that brings it to an interesting process. And the prosecutor who wants to resolve us as well said, all right, cool.

So it goes into what's called a non-negotiated plea deal, which basically means the judge, judge is almost going to act as the independent arbiter and give out this plea in this plea of a sentence after he pleads to whatever he's going to plead to. So, you know, obviously be guilty to whatever it was, even though still Brian Steele was able to have him do what's called no-lo-contenderate, which is like it's no contest, right? So you plea no contest, which is very important, because I'm going to keep being with you. After cases like this,

niggas would sue this guy, young thug left and right. Yo, you shot my cousin in his leg. You shot this guy in the leg. And then you pled guilty for funding all these crimes. We're taking you to civil court. And we want a million dollars. We want 50,000. We want this.

You had everybody shot in the hood, my nigger. You pled guilty to it. Whether you were just trying to get out of jail or not, that's how it works. In civil court, usually when you're found guilty of the crimes, in criminal court, civil court that requires less of a, it doesn't use a reasonable standard, a reasonable doubt standard.

Usually they say, all right, if you're guilty over there, you're guilty here, too, right? So it's been a nightmare for young thug criminally. His lawyer carved it out where he basically pleads no contest to the biggest charges he plead guilty to, I think he pleads guilty to participate. And I think,

I think he pled guilty to 56. What's 56? 56 is, sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. which is participation in criminal street activity, I believe. But I'm going to play this in full. I was trying to explain to you where we were. So then, so Young Thug turns down, go home today,

says let the judge decide. Which, by the way, for all y'all young thug fans, I've seen some of y'all, like, you know what I mean? Listen, if you're a faceless young thug account, I'm not going back and full, did you? Like, you're a fan. I'm sorry. We don't even know who you are, right?

Like, just you're not Jeffrey. Just let you know that, okay? and this includes like Thugger Daily. I think he thought, like, me and him was like, brother, nobody knows who you are. Okay, your name is Thugger Daly. Relax. And if you're that bow, put a face on it.

Put a face and I actually have an account. You know what I mean? Because at this point, you're just the fan page of Young Thug, which I get it. Like, that's your guy. We appreciate you, by the way, because you've done great work. Not going to lie, but maybe you're not going back on.

Now, for everybody who says he took it to trial and beat the case, that's just not accurate, right? It's just not accurate, right? However, he took it to trial. He did beat up on the attorney, the prosecutor. But the judge, so all that fuck the judge stuff, the judge actually was so fair and kind of issued probably the most fairest

sympathetic ruling we've seen of a defendant in a very long time. And I'm going to play this in full because this was very tense moments. law and crime and I got to give also Young Thug so much credit

I'm gonna tell you I'm giving him credit bro if you've been locked for two years I don't know if I could tell my lawyer oh they or if I could go home today but not tell him we turn it down what but he did turn it down

right so here we go uh yeah the young thug give a speech he did give a speech at the end here we go the attorney okay So essentially Young Thug does this plea

And then we're going to quickly get into what the prosecutor says Then what Young Thug's lawyer comes back with They both got about it supposed to be like I think 40 minutes or so And then the judge rules There would be from a conviction Transport a firearm Or if you use a firearm in a crime

I'm gonna skip through this a little bit We're not gonna watch the whole thing But they started reading lyrics And I thought damn you know for anybody who are a rappers when you think about if you've been close to street activity or you really put money on people's heads

and I know that your lyrics shouldn't be used against you but lyrics are definitely used to contextualize right you can't get charged for your lyrics like it's an admission of guilt but if they believe that a part of you promote in what they believe is a gang is you also singing about the activities offset gang they're going to be able to use relevant lyrics that you're not charged with the lyrics but it become contextual

when it came time for Young Thugs' Sentencing they started reading out lyrics and I said damn this sounds bad like these shit don't hit without a You know what I mean Weezy or turbo You know what I mean cooking up a beat or Metro or something You know Metro?

Like it don't sound the same Listen to this You understand Has anyone forced These charges after a trial You understand? Has anyone forced threatened or promised you anything to get you to enter a guilty plea?

No. Is it your decision to waive these rights and enter a guilty plea because you are in fact guilty? Yes. Well, Your Honor, may I interject? You may. Your Honor, on count one, which is the racketeering conspiracy count. Here we go. Amazing lawyer in.

Mr. Williams is tendering a plea under Nolo Contendray. So he's tindering a plea. plea. Now, the judge could have came back and said, I'm, I'm not going to do this if you don't plea guilty. You got to plead guilty to racketeering. Now, again, this is where the civil situation comes in. If you were seen in the criminal sense and you pled guilty to, using your funds to pay for criminal activity of this gang, anybody who got shot, robbed, had any impact from this gang, you could sue young thug. And you could use this criminal case and say,

yo, the nigga pled guilty. Yo, my brother got shot by Quay or whoever. And this is the leader with the money. He pled guilty. I can't sleep. I can't eat. I can't sleep. My neck, my back, my belly, pause.

I just can't, yo, give me $3 million. They're not going to give you $3 million. But I'm pretty sure he's going to have to do settlement after sellman, right? However, his lawyer. steps in and says, hey, judge, we want to tender this no-lo-contendry plea, and we're hoping you take it. So if you would take the plea down for the racketeering shit as no contest, it means technically, by the way, they could still suit up. But they can't really use this case as a strong basis of his guilt because the racketeering acts

is going to say unless he did something to someone. If he slapped somebody to consume. But the racketeering acts, they had him as the person who paid and ordered. Right? So he says no contest, which means it's a knock, it doesn't say guilty or guilty.

Right? Which, again, just doesn't help civil cases to come. That's to count 56, which is participation in a criminal street gang activity as being a leader or a supervisor or organizer. Mr. Williams is also tendering a plea to the signable court under NOLO contendre, the balance of the counsel he is tendering a guilty plea. Your Honor. Yes, ma'am.

So for that one thing, no contendry, which is no contest. If you've been a even municipal court, at times, if you get a lawyer because they know certain convictions or you getting adjudicated as guilty will, make you not, like, safe is sometimes it's for drunk driving or whatever the case is, sometimes they'll take a plea where you do no contest, right? Would the court like to hear from the state or not? About the NOLO issues? Yes, yes. Sure.

Your Honor, the state asked that the court not accept a NOLO plea and require either a guilty plea or a not guilty plea as to these charges. All right. I'm going to permit a NOLO plea as to Counts 1 and 56. All right. Yo, you can Ether. So for counts 1 and 56,

so both of them, the judge permitted. By the way, because they, you know why also the judge is saying, fuck you to this lawyer, you had over a year that you could have gave this thing up plea.

You didn't. Then we stopped court for like four days and y'all went back and forth and you could have figured it out there. Now y'all, coming in court and now you want me to be on your side after you've been fucking on his whole trial? No, we're taking a no no contendron. Okay. Mr. Williams. Yo, you see that stare down? Ether. Look, ether. She, she rambling through paper like,

oh shit. Look, that stare down? That stare down right here? Mr. Williams. Activity, how do you plead? I believe it. In criminal street gang activity, how do you? How do you? you plead? I plead guilty. As to count 58 violation of the Georgia Control Substances Act, how do you plead? Guilty. As to count 59, violation of the Georgia control sub... Yeah, these are the additional charge they gave him, essentially in the supersede indictment, but it's all good. Substances Act. These are light. How do you plead? Guilty. No law. I treat gang activity under the leadership charge. How do you plead? No law.

Yeah, he has to plead no low, which means no contest. Because if you plead guilty as being the leadership of the gang, damn it, you responsible for everything they did. I think you didn't ask about count 62. As to count, thank you, Your Honor. As to count 62. Still helping a prosecutor. Possession of a machine gun, how do you plead?

Guilty. Oh, never mind. So they oh in this plea and this is how you know this the the feds ain't coming feds ain't coming Fed's ain't coming feds ain't coming the nigger pled guilty to possessing a machine gun so the gun Remember they found guns in his crib? The nigga pled guilty so so they just do it in there so this is an amazing plea Yo you you had a machine gun only said two years it's fire Are you pleading guilty to the offenses you have indicated

because you are in fact guilty of these charges. Yes. All right. Are your guilty pleas and your NOL please freely and voluntarily given with the full knowledge of the charges against you? Yes. Do you understand that you may have only a limited right to appeal this guilty plea conviction? Yes. And seized and that is.

All right. So that's the plea. And then now listen to the prosecutor. this is what they saw a rena at the lurch. You're ready for? You read the rest of that into the record. An array of bullets on Mr. Thomas hitting him, his Chevrolet Tahoe, and two other persons in the process.

Now, I'm going to be honest with you. The reason why Fulton County, from what I'm hearing on the ground, these are people there, reporters working at, I've spoken to a lot of them. People who are former law enforcement, they say, you know, we see you've been covering this case and said, listen, let me tell you what was going on down here. This is a show.

show. They said if you were there that the mother of Donovan Nutt Thomas showed up to that court every day because she wanted to get justice for her son that got murdered. And she believed her son got murdered at the direction and at the hands and because of the funds of Jeffrey Williams. And even Woody admitted that, or at least through Charleston White, I guess because Charles when I said it. What he said, every time he showed to court, the mom of Donovan Nutt Thomas would just sit there and mean mug. Mean mug them every day just looking like you motherfucker's got my son killed.

And even upon this sentencing day, damn there, the mom was there. Just, you got to imagine. That's kind of what court is, right? Like, you know what I mean? The family of the victims show up every day hoping that the person gets death or something, right? That they could feel good. And they said that that person showed up every day. including this day.

And I thought about it and I said, you know, while we're stuck in fan land, right? Like fans didn't care. Fans wouldn't care if young thug murdered like 15 babies. Like it's a young thug, right? But like for the families of those people who are victims who are showing up, they're looking at the court and the justice system to say, will y'all give us justice? Y'all took this case.

Y'all said these guys did this. We watched the whole proceeding. And essentially, there were just, describing the family of some of the people who were either shot or killed in the courtroom, mad as a motherfucker, that the person that they claim killed their brother, sister, or not sister, brother, nephew, or son essentially walked out of jail with two years in jail, and they were upset. And they were saying that the attitude was pervasive among the law-abiding,

victims that live in these communities, Blevland Avenue, everybody who watch Blevlin become a crime zone and a war zone, because allegedly Yisela was shooting that bitch up every day, they showed up because they want to see will justice get or prevail. But what was proven is that

not everybody getting out of jail. I mean, Bleveland back hot. That's all it means. So I heard those people who are upset and, you know, you're going to see some opeds about it. I see some of the reporters kind of buzzing and stern about it. They're going to be writing up a lot about the future of the Fulton County DA strategy and trying to convince the community that they could police crime.

Because a lot of people believe that, you know, even if it wasn't for thug, right? Like, yeah, maybe you say, all right, you know, it's just too hard to prove that thug was a part of it. And this is why, like, people, like, no rich guy is going to do the murder himself, right? Like, you're going to pay this guy to tell that guy to tell that guy to do the murder. And you hopefully, hopefully you, you fool them niggas with the no snitch and shit. If they don't snitch, you didn't do nothing, so you just remain free. But even the guys who were charged with murder, they're all out. So all the murderers, allegedly, they're free.

So again, from a fan perspective, we know young thug fans wouldn't care if he killed their mama, right? Like, they love young thug. But the people who live in these communities, they're mad because it's not only about young thug being held accountable. There's 28 other people that were, or 27 other people that were charged with all these crimes. that initially the prosecutor was saying there was like a hundred murders or there's been hundreds of shootings that they felt have been connected to YSEL and essentially nobody go to jail. So that's what those people are upset about, right? Anyway.

Mr. Thomas died from those bullets. Phone records show that communication was held between Mr. Williams, Mr. Kelvin Treadwell, Mr. Demise McMullen. Okay, so they're just reading a bunch of stuff that these are the accusation. Obviously, they're reading stuff that they've already talked about in court, but just to remind the judge, let's get to the lyrics. The alerts had me. Here this. Accomplice with the performance location of-

Hold on, I don't want to get to lyrics. On February the 22nd by a YSL associate of Stephen Harris. He was arrested at his home and a search warrant was ages. Between a number, Mr. Williams responded, slat. Slat! After Mr. Williams stole a star ring from one of the victims in the indictment, he asked Mr. Williams. Yo, young thug was keeping it chills. He's like, stole.

I ain't still shit. Yo, young thug looked up like, I ain't no goddamn thief. Look, look. Star ring from one of the victims in the indictment. After Mr. Williams stole. a star ring from one of the victims in the indictment. He asked Mr. Williams, do you have a star ring? Mr. Williams said yes.

Mr. Huey said, Slat, you can't cash at me 500 so I can make a payment to my lawyer. Mr. Williams responded, Slat. Mr. Huey sent him his phone number at as this closing a sentence. We would ask that Ms. Shawana Edmonds, who is the mother of Mr. Thomas, be allowed an opportunity to make an impact statement. And that... See? So they wanted the mom of Donovanath Thomas to talk.

Who is the mother of Mr. Thomas, be allowed an opportunity to make an impact statement. And that is all that we have unless the court has questions. Okay. Okay. What the lyrics say? Defendant Williams released a video on YouTube of a song, wherein he states,

I shot at his mommy. Now he no longer mentions me. Gangsta. Yo, yo, apologies for all the moms that got shot at, man. I'm sorry. Act like you want war, and they're going to smoke you like a blunt. And I backwood. Another song, I escaped every one of the licks because I was supposed to be rich.

I don't care nothing about a cop. I'm just telling you how it is. I done did the robin. I done did the jacking. Now I'm full rapping. Ooh, those are bars, low key. Gave the lawyer close to two mill. He handles all the killing.

I mean, if I give you two mill, what you're supposed to handle? What's the problem? We don't speak about shit on wax. It's all my business. We know to kill the biggest cats of all kittens. In another song, I was on Bleevelin stuck like a magnet. Bitch-ass inward. Pay for that casket.

that's just if we whack them. Oh shit. Shout to Bleveland, man. And yet another song, Defendant Williams' raps, read just like Elmo, but I never fucking giggle. YISL won't fold.

Pick his ass off from the balcony, wipe an end's nose. I'm gonna F for the cash. Then she getting robbed by Tick, a reference to Trontavia Stevens. All I ever wanted was the money. Put your hands in the air if you dare. F and N put them in a wheelchair.

And even later on, Mr. Williams, and I believe that this was in 2019, made a post to YFN Lucci or Rayshan Bennett. If I like what you do for your mother and kids, I would have been killed you. Shout to the mom saving their son's life, man. Yo, hearing this red, like, right before the judge sentenced you, And in yet another song entitled Anybody,

Defendant Williams stated, I never killed anybody, but I got something to do with that body. I got the streets on my back, carry it like I'm moving a body. I told them to shoot 100 rounds like he trying to movie the body. Damn.

Ready for war like I'm Russia. I get all types of cash. I'm a general. Yo, chat, y'all do like when y'all rappers live the raps, right? Yo, you know what this made me think, and all bullshit aside, and I want to have a real moment of job, right? And I'm not going to make this too much of a long sidebar as we're listening to this.

You see, us fans, we're the biggest hypocrites, right? If you rap, we want rappers to rap about shit, don't live it, but it to either sound real or feel real enough, but we monitor all their beefs to see if they're really beefing with those people. We'd love to see, oh, shit, something happened. But the reality is this, right? Right. Number one, we don't care about victims, right? Like, this is hip hop, we're hypocritical.

We don't care who dies. We just want the famous nigger who make good music to live and be free. Let's keep it a beat. We over here saying Free Dirk, we don't care about Little Pah's family, respectfully. Respectfully. I'm not saying actually don't. We just said fans don't think about Little Pops family. And maybe they want justice, right?

You're like, yo, we didn't know who Little Tim was. But we like, yo, damn, why could anybody else die but King Vaughn? Fans and how we perceive law and crime and justice is very disfigured and disoriented from actual reality. Because our moral basis, no matter, like, I don't think no fan is like a horrible person. But when it comes to our entertainers, we're very hypocritical, right? These songs, like, first of all, I'm going to allow to you. Dirk's music went up by, like, right now it's that, like, I think 60 or 70 percent it's been up since his murder, right? You know why it's up? Because everybody's realizing he wasn't just rapping,

even though a lot of people knew before he wasn't just rapping. But now these lyrics hit a little bit harder. This is why people drill rap. We listen more when we think it's real. So these guys, you know, we love to be hypocritical like, no, they're just, they're just expressing themselves. Every time people say that, yo, lyric shouldn't be used in court. Yo, if, yo, little tech of lyrics won't ever be used in court. But some niggas who's living the life and who's doing the shit that they seemingly are rapping about, it might get used in court. So we're kind of hypocrites in that nature. And I don't know if we acknowledge that we're hypocrites, because here's a reality.

If we all love these guys and hope they're smart gangsters. But if Young Tha was doing half the things he was proclaiming to do and he was charged with doing, he should have never been rapping like this. He should never been posting on social media like this. But it kind of adds to the image and the old. that fans buy in. So, you know, like, I'm looking at this with them reading the lyrics and I'm like, yeah, if I was really getting niggas killed, I probably wouldn't rap about killing people.

However, they're feeding that insatiable thirst by fans. Fans want that shit. Y'all, like, King Vaughn's family is forever going to get a $3 to $5 million royalty check every year just off of his streams, old music. I'm going to tell you why, because fans are obsessed with knowing that this. guy was as real as it gets and when you listen to his lyrics his lyrics is the epitome of a real life story we don't give a fuck about the victims who died we don't give a fuck about the people who got shot in their head and i'm not talking about whiskey respectfully we're just talking about anybody

we are so we're so wrapped up with the thought of we like this rapper we don't even care about victims right like i remember even with the uh six-nine situation this is before he's When you listen to Who Niche, they said, they said Shady and them hopped out the car, shot someplace up and a woman got hit. Man, you ain't thinking about that chick. You're like, man, man, that shit does make Billy go sound harder, right? So again, we're hypocrites when it comes to this.

You know what I mean? Like, honestly, if there was no music associated with this, we would say these are disgusting charges and disgusting allegations. But to be honest, when we hear about this with the rapper, we like, we listen to the music, and we like, this shit fire. Even more fire. Somebody said, who's we? All they are, man.

Put it like this, man. Nika, we sat here and watched that YW. Milly trial. Come on. We want that nigga out. We want that nigga out. Like, nobody's thinking about how those families feel, like, respectfully. Like, we're like, no, we love his music. Yo, a true fan will say fuck a victim.

We just want to, yo, it's like, let me not bring into some sexual weird shit. I was going to say, it's like R. Kelly fans. R. Kelly fans ain't thinking about them chicks who said they were locked up in the Kelly Dungeon. Man, that thing made bump and grind, man. Made 12 play. Bring him back home.

Young thug made Barter 6. Slit. Somebody says, not we, you. No, that's not true. Because everybody who's procured. claiming free thug or is happy that thug. There's not one person who's saying, damn, this is actual.

And this is why I think that's why Charleston White has a lane. Not one person is saying, damn. Well, what about justice for the people who got shot on Bleveland Avenue? There are several murders charged in this indictment. Nobody's doing life. Nobody's actually getting any real punishment. Nobody's actually saying, what about justice for them?

You know what everybody is saying? Young thug free. So don't say it's just. It's a collective sense when it comes to hip hop. You don't see nobody saying, hey, I hope people are held accountable. Like, think about Dirk's situation. Nobody's saying, I hope, yo, if nobody's cutting it down the line and say, yo, if Dirk did that shit, man, keep that nigga.

Nobody ain't saying that. That's where Charleston White comes in. Because when you go that line, they call you a sellout, right? They do call you a sellout, right? Like, no one, when talking about this case, we're talking about Jeffrey Williams' freedom. nobody's talking about, damn, if any of these niggas actually did kill Donovan Nutt Thomas, them niggas deserve to get the chair.

Nobody's saying that. Who's saying that? So y'all tell me the person who was saying that. Name me one person who said, damn, let's pray for the family. He was locked up for the death of primarily Donovan Nutt Thomas. Name me one person who said, man, pray for Donovan Nutt Thomas' mom, who had to sit through a year of this proceeding to find out. that nobody ain't going to jail.

Nobody ain't saying that. So don't say just, don't say act is just you, because you don't have no empathy for victims when there is a famous rapper or a famous celebrity accused. You get what I'm saying? Like, we got to stop the selective,

no, we all on the same page, right? And those people usually go away and they become unknown and unnamed, and they go and they deal with their grief and do it the way they do it. And maybe they come up with some money with the civil, suit to something like that, but by

large what ends up happening is that every, not one person, listen, when niggas are saying free thug like, play this, is any of all saying free, are y'all saying free dirt? Because you're like, man, Durk can't do that shit. Are you saying, man, fuck that. Free Dirk. I don't care what y'all nigga's

saying. Because nobody's actually like really splitting here saying, now free Dirk, I think he ain't do it. But if he did do it, man, keep that nigger. Nobody is saying that. Everybody's just saying, bring that nigga a home. Regardless if he did it or not. Let's just be clear.

Like us rap fans like, we don't got no morality in music. I don't think rap fans are immoral. We don't have fandom and morality don't go together. By the way, fandom is something that is usually of the devil. You know, if you go back to not to get all biblical with you, but it's a reason why, you know, if you look back in biblical, times when people used to create false idols and used to, you know, have these false prophets or false things that they would worship other than God. That's why they said God is a jealous God.

What do you think being a super fan of a celebrity is? It's like the same thing. It's like you've created a deity, a guy who could do no wrong, that we're all celebrating and praising. So the shit kind of happens. That's what I'm trying to say, fandom and morality don't go together. And also, the last thing I'm going to challenge you out with, half of these cases I'd be watching, bro, just true to the core.

Like, again, I'm a fan too, so I'm not talking to y'all like I'm talking down to y'all. There's a couple times I'm watching these cases. I'm like, this nigga definitely did it, but still free that man. Because I do like the artist. And I don't have a physical connection or a emotional connection to the victim. I don't feel the pain that they're feeling. I'm not going to what they're feeling. But if you've watched enough of these cases, y'all know deep down in your core,

despite if we're arguing about evidence here and there, deep down to your core, if somebody would be like, you think he did it, you're like, nah, he did do that shit. But now,

that's my nigga, though. Come on. Like, y'all know y'all be thinking that too. Like deep down, yeah, like, did he do it?

I'd be like, man, that nigga didn't do that shit, bro. But that's my nigga though. Just being honest. It's okay to call out our own hypocrisy. As Mr.

Williams' prominence in the, um, Music industry rose. Oh, the last thing I'll say with that. Now, some people will say, well, they look at when shit like this happens, let's use this thug case, like, well, that's the streets. So you can't look at it as right or wrong because every action, there's a reaction. If somebody got killed here, it's probably because somebody got shot over there, there, and there, and that person got killed.

And revenge, you know what I mean? If you look at a revenge, like, for example, like, say the duck situation, right? Um, if you just look at that one singular incident that says, damn, these guys from, from O'Block are just murderers, murderous like scums. They're just thugs. But then if you look at it in the fact of most of these killings are just not random, they're retaliatory, retaliatory ongoing beef, this, that, this, that, and then someone dies. And when that's not the only death there. One guy died here, another guy died here on the other side. And it's been, when you look at it like that, that's when some people say, well, if it's like that, I don't have too much of a stake in trying to promote that anybody goes to jail because street justice is taking care of it.

Right? And me usually, I don't really give too fucks. Obviously, I love the artist. The only thing that, you know, when it becomes sad is when the parents show up. Now, obviously, Mama Duck in the in an obloch shit is a little bit different. Like Mama Duck looked like she was with the shit too, right?

But then when you usually, see like the civilian mom show up like yo y'all killed my son or say somebody got shot you know they just are a bystander and they got killed now it looks real fucked up anyway his ascension within or in leadership in the gang wiserl became more apparent as he wrapped and talked about the crimes that wise cell there's then a series of calls between dora greer and treadwell and then Treadwell calls, demise McMullen or Nard. Now, remember when I told you back in a day, I said, yo, Birdman got out of Atlanta and stopped that rich gang shit at the perfect time.

He was so smart. You're going to hear them start making allegations with Birdman in this. Some of them that weren't charged, but some of them that were going to be fodder for the evidence that kind of loop in Jimmy Roscoe, Jimmy Winfrey Roscoe and thug. All of those calls happened within 15, minutes of the 911 call. And as I have stated before, the calls happen. And then there is then a series of court and then immediately after that call, Mr. Williams calls his sister, Dora Greer and then calls Kelvin Treadwell. There is then a series of myself. Here we go. The conflict between YSL and members of Ifgang continued black and red Mercedes G-Wagon. And it's due for your mother and kids, I would have been killed you.

Haitian 2020 in Lucci. Williams responded, Slat, handle that. I got you. F-A-S-H-O. I've been out the way and appreciate you for everything, my brother. Never about money with me. I'm built on loyalty. Mr. Williams responded, slat, handle that.

I got you. Through text messages and on a separate occasion, Mr. Huey said and conveyed to Mr. Williams that he was, sit down for any one of them. And I believe that to be a reference of going to jail. Back and forth shootings back in 2015. On February 9th, 2022, Rishon Bennett was stabbed by Jaden Myrick at the Fulton County Jail. And after that stabbing, Mr. Myrick reached out multiple times to Mr. Adams for some type of compensation for the stabbing. Mr. Adams reached out to Mr. Garlington about the pavement in 2022 a shooting by a YSL associate of Stephen Harris and YFN

territory occurs as picturing him mr. Shemell drinks and mr. Jasper Walter mr. Garlington and also found was the machine gun with which the defendant has been charged in this indictment was subsequently arrested along with other YAS members. A lawyer was going to go and talk to another YSL associate asking Mr. Williams to send him some money to pay his lawyer off. Mr. Williams assured him through his responses, Slat, that he would take care of them. In May 2019, he got away with robberies. And what happened?

A flyer to Marquavius Hewitt. I've been out the way. Mr. Bennett. I'm trying to find the part where they told by Birdman, a few. 11th through March 14th. There were a number of social media posts going back and forth between members of YSL and YFN. Later, within this indictment,

has been shown throughout the course of this trial. asked Mr. Williams, do you have a star ring? closing a sentence. I'm going to F for the cash. Then she getting robbed by Mr. Rishan Bennett's home. Shootings at Mr. Darym Mills' mother's home. And I said Mr. Rishon Bennett, Mr. Rishon Bennett's mother's home. Shootings unrelated to the country.

Yo, one thing I got to say about young things in his homies, you dis him, your mama house gets shot up. Jesus Christ. Conflict with members of Ifgang of a Little Wayne tour bus. Okay, here we go. That shooting followed the confronting by Atlanta Police Department of members of YSL that drove to the compound where Little Wayne was making an appearance and who drove there with the intent to disrupt and cause harm and to shoot up. Little Wayne's tour bus. Little Wayne was another artist with whom Mr. Williams was having conflict,

according to the testimony that had been presented. Mr. Williams had come out at that time with a mixtape that carried the name of an album that Mr. Carter was set to release and was not able to because his label would not allow that to happen. That caused a contractual or the third. threat of a lawsuit. It caused Mr. Williams' angst. He posted about it. He said derogatory things about the persons who were threatening him with the lawsuit. And as a result, he had to rename his mixtape to something different than what he initially intended. The person

who ultimately was convicted of shooting that tour bus up, Jimmy Winfrey, is a person that I believe that recordings have come in regarding jail phone calls, rather, from Mr. Winfey Free, and members of YSL regarding communication about getting a lawyer. following the shootings that occurred in 2015, music, social media postings, indicted and indicted co-conspirators. Okay, anyway. So that's pretty much,

they try to bring up everything in a goddamn book, try to kind of contextualize what young thug has been doing, his lyrics, they're tying him to, yo, this guy is serious. They're basically saying these lyrics are no joke. When he's gotten into these, quote, quote, issues back and forth, with members of, you know, music or other gangs, people get shot at.

People's mom's houses got shot at. There's people who died. This isn't some shit where it's just Twitter beefing. Bullets are getting fired at buses, mom's houses, and there's people dead. Okay? And essentially, Young Thugs' lawyer went to, you know, went to bat to try to defend him against all of those, um,

um, all of those things with his own. Right. Mr. Uh, Mr. Adams, does the defense want to put anything on the record?

Obviously, you need to make a recommendation. Yes, your honor. Go ahead. Many of the statements made, I must be this up. Prosecutor,

we vehemently disagree with. The prosecutor, uh, misstated many pieces of evidence and then took liberty that that is the theory. Mr. Williams has tendered a nolo contendree plea to the RICO conspiracy count. And in that count, there are several overt acts. And the first one, Your Honor, deals with a traffic stop. It's on September 9th of 2013. And I won't go through everyone because it might take a long time. But just for completeness for this, as court knows, Mr. Williams is driving a car. There is a dash cam video of the

stop. The officer who testified at the trial 11 years later, the case was a gun was found under the passenger seat. Mr. Williams is not tied to the gun. He's not

convicted of that. And the dash cam video that the officer said would have picked up sound as well as definitely video was never turned over to us supposedly lost. Could not explain the loss. The armed robbery in another overt act of Mr. Mr. Dodson, D-O-D-S-O-N, has the following information.

The state only, because we haven't called witnesses yet. So the state put up a man who said nothing except, I don't recall. And then they put in his prior recorded jail calls. That man was taken, his name is Mr. Bean, B-E-A-N. He was taken to Grady Hospital, and he was spoken with by a detective. The state vehemently accused me of law. All right. Let's get to some of the things where he's going to try to explain the shout up your mommy's house and something like that.

Press was on my witness list as well as a detective and I have the recordings. Here we go. Your Honor, what the evidence would really show if we kept going to trial. And I could tell you that Mr. Adams and I never thought we'd be in front of this honorable court. We always thought it would go all the way through trial. Was the state is saying that Richel McQuine and Jeffrey Williams don't speak since the fall and they have a bad relation to the fall of 2014. We would have shown, and we served on the state, December 15, 2014. Jeffrey Williams in a private plane with Mr. Lamar or Rich Homi-Quan,

and they are high-fiving and laughing with each other. That is on audio video. There's a man who the state hasn't called yet, Mr. Martinez-Arnold, also known as Duke. It's on the state's witness list. He's represented by the Honorable Ashley Merchant. He's on that plane as well. He would have identified the item, and he would have testified that Mr. Williams and Mr. Lamar were very close in December 2014.

Then on December 29th of 2014, Mr. Williams, Mr. Richel McQuan, Mr. Arnold, others were at Brian Williams' home in Miami, Florida. There was a posting by Mr. Lamar, Richel McQuan, and a picture of Mr. Arnold and Mr. Lamar, and Mr. Lamar, and Mr. Lamar says, this is my number one man, Duke, or something to that effect. We would have put that into evidence. In addition to that, Your Honor, on December 8th, two days before Mr. Thomas, God forbid, was killed, Mr. Williams is with Mr. Thomas, as well as, Mr. Sledge and Brian Williams in Brian Williams tour bus outside of a fabulous entertainer artist, Mr. Clifford Harris, T.I.'s studio. And at that time, they were very close. But you also have the detective with a gang unit, Detective Underwood. I asked her within the last two weeks or three weeks, did you do any, and she was on the gang unit the entire time, including today.

And I asked her, do you have any evidence about Mr. Williams and Mr. Thomas being close friends? And she said, yes, of course I knew that. I said, how about in January of 2015 close to time of Mr. Thomas's Jeff? She said, yes, they were close friends. Mr. Michael Sprinkle, he's a deputy district attorney in the Fulton County DA's office. He has a recording with Mr. Treadwell. You've heard the name O.G. Bentley. And in that, they're going through the evidence.

And Mr. Treadwell is important because he has a child, too, actually, with Mr. Thomas's sister. He's family. And Mr. Sprinkle states, this is 2018. This is after the rental car. This is after all of the interviews of Mr. Copeland. This is after the interviews of Mr. Zachary. Mr. Sprinkles in some of those interviews with Mr. Zachary. Mr. Sprinkle on tape.

Let's go a little further. For him because there are all these people around. And Mr. Williams stays at a separate location than any of this person. He would always take people who can't afford it on airplanes, on buses, on tours. To his concerts, he let everyone go because, Your Honor, they never left that area. He wanted to show people you have an opportunity. The world is big. Mr. Williams gave jobs to.

everybody who'd want to work. He'd give them jobs and security. And I'm not insulting them. They really weren't their jobs, but they were being mentored, but they were given titles and tried to give them respect and opportunity. But if they did not wish to work, Mr. Williams would not allow them to work with them. This has all been turned on its head by the state. The fact that the state has put in Mr. Williams' lyrics are offensive. Mr. Williams has tens of thousands of recordings. On our witness list, we are bringing in all of his people, his recording artists, his engineers, his managers, his record label, and an expert, the Honorable Dr. Eric Nielsen, to talk about how Mr. Williams creates his music. His music is then

changed around and merged. Mr. Williams, most, most, some of the lyrics you just heard are not even uttered by Mr. Williams. The state has no idea when these lyrics were made. Some of them were made before the shooting of Donovan Thomas that the state is saying, this applies to Domin and Thomas killing with the Tahoe. They are so far afield of where we need to be when we are trying to, God forbid, take somebody's liberty, your honor. The state is talking about things like F the judge and I rep my life for real.

That's not even said by Mr. Williams. But they don't care to find out. They are on a tunnel vision to try to convict a man. who should not be convicted. The statement about, I never killed nobody, but I got something to do with that body. If the state just bothered to talk with anybody,

that is a Nicki Minaj song with Jeffrey Williams. It is written by Nikki Minaj. That is on the text messages I gave, not the text message, the Instagram or Twitter, rather, that I gave to the state. That is out well before this, but the state doesn't care.

This is out. You look at Thug. Thug like Dan. Where are you getting this ship from? This is good. in 2015 or 16 or 17 or 18, I can't remember, I think 18, where Mr. Williams has asked who wrote anybody in his responses, anybody who's written by Nicky Minaj, and it was.

But it was really written and sung. It's a takeoff of a song by Tupac. There's a song that it parallels, which is an inspiration. But here we are with the state. Also, I never killed nobody, but I got something to do with the body. The next line comes up is it's a truancy body. The state can't explain that, so they just conveniently leave it out. Your Honor, there were wiretaps on this case.

Mr. Williams, it was going to come out. There was an application to wiretap his phone. The state never presented to a judge. That speaks volumes. The leader of the YSL criminal street gang who's been involved from 2012 until his arrest, and even according to the state while we sit here, they never even tried to wiretap his phone. It might have been because they don't really know what his phone number is.

So all these communications are being told about with Mr. Huey, I'm not so sure the state could have gotten anybody to say that's Mr. Williams' phone. This is how the trial has gone for us. But we sit here for almost two years since we did our jury selection initiation on January 4, 2003. Mr. Williams has been sitting in a jail since May 9, 2020. This is two and a half years waiting for the conclusion of state's case and a verdict from the jury, and that's why he is tendering this plea.

I'm telling the court, and the court knows when you came out the first time, it's very hard for Mr. William. I am not supportive of what we're doing right now. I'm not against it. But I told Mr. William, I told Mr. Williams that I think we're winning the trial and we should go to verdict. But he told me, I can't wait another three months if there is any possibility I could go home because I have children that are hurting. Damn. I have things to do and he has some medical issues that he would like to tend to.

He eats out of a bag, Your Honor. I think they got a full balls in these draining. Mariah the sciences. Where you ask, Jordy? He eats processed food only. He gains 75 pounds during trial. He's lost it since. But it is hard.

You know, for me, it's only three more months. It's enjoyable, actually. I enjoy coming. It's not that enjoyable for Mr. Webb. He told me he wakes up. He wakes up every day, and it's another day in H.E. Blank, Blank, Your Honor, the state is talking about, in this case, they put in social media. The Honorable Court was not here.

Okay, they're going to try to explain the whole the beef with him and wife and Lucia when he says, if I like what you do for your family, I would kill your mother. No, I would kill you, nigga. But the state put in. Let me grab a soda. That Mr. Williams, in the indictment, Mr. Williams put out a call for murder. He put $24 million, murder for hire, on a person's head. That is a lot of money, and that is awful.

if they would have read the chat, the Instagram chat, Mr. Williams, right above it, there's a picture of a very well-known, very accomplished musical artist who actually had surgically implanted in his forehead a pink diamond worth $24 million that day. That's what Mr. Williams would talk about. That's the type of evidence that is coming from the state of Georgia in this case. It is wrong. This is all wrong. And I know we're pleading guilty, and I know we're pleading NOLO,

and I know we're asking the honorable court for a certain sentence, and we'll get to it with the court's permission. But this is the type of evidence that there is. But it is holding this man hostage. And that's not really what we're supposed to do, district attorney time, in the state of Georgia or anywhere. The state then, because I opened on that, then they never bothered to put in all of the chats.

Why did it take me to read the chats? In addition to that, going back to Donovan Thomas, talking about Mr. Williams involved, the state did a geofence. A geofence tracks his devices. It doesn't have to be a phone. It could be an iPad. It could be any type of electronic device that targets and is used.

You don't have to be on the phone. It's the contact. If he has an app open, it'll capture it. And the state targeted the McDonald's, where they keep saying that Mr. Williams met with people there. They targeted the barbershop, where the killing occurred. And they targeted a third location, no, two locations. And it comes out. Mr. Williams' devices are not there.

It's exculpatory. I don't get that information. I got that because I interviewed Lieutenant, cramp tree and the results can't be found, according to prosecution. I did a motion for that. They just can't find it. That is great evidence for Mr. Williams. It would have also shown clearly that when he does go down from his house after getting this call that I'll talk about from Demise McMullen, he's not with these other people. And the expert for the state, the FBI agent, who does the telephone analysis. Mr. Williams' phone does not ping off the same tower as a Demise

McMullen or a Mr. Copeland. Nah, this man working. Or a Mr. Garlington or house. Mr. Williams opens up any of a car that he has or rent cars for people, any home he has. Of course, I rent mad cars. Who knows? Might be the car that kill a nigga, but who cares? Not his lawyer working.

He will allow people to live in hotels because people that he knows, unfortunately, are homeless. And he gives him all places to stay, cars to drive around. He is not involved in criminal activity. Mr. Williams just got back in our country. His passport shows it. Right before he was arrested on May 9th, 2002, there were other people in the house with the drugs and the guns. There were people whose the guns are in their names.

They were going to come in court and claim the guns. Everybody else was doing this well, but Mr. Williams has entered a guilty plea. I'm not going back on that. But I just want you to know that this case is just wrong to do to somebody with no bond and to hold him hostage. He wants to, you may not do it. He's aware of that.

He's aware of that. But the state offered him 15 years on probation. But they keep piling on these conditions. He just said, he made up his mind. He said, I'm just going to go with it. I got to get home. Judge may not let me home. But I'm not doing these conditions and admit that I'm the leader and I'm involved in the killing.

Oh, this guy's good, bro. And my music just promoted everybody to do it. He's not going to do that. So he did not do that. And that's how we wound up here. The state, the night of the killing, people came to Mr. Williams' home. The state tells the court, he said, lay low. What they don't tell you is right after that, he gave money to Mr.

Sledge who said, I find, they're going to kill me. They think I did it. And Mr. Williams said, if you had anything to do with it, I don't want to be with you. And Mr. Sledge said, I just need a hotel room with my children and my bride or my significant other to get to. And Mr. Williams said, be safe, lay low. That's the lay low. In addition to that, Mr. Williams told Mr. Copeland, Mr. Copeland's with the police, hours after the killing of Mr. Donovan Thomas, Mr. Copeland goes to the police department. Mr. Williams is a person who told him to go.

Mr. Copeland said, what do I do? They're shooting at my house, at my family's house, at my significant others' mother's house. And Mr. Williams said, if you had anything to do with the murder, get out of here. Mr. Copeland denied it. Mr. Williams said, then go tell the police. Mr. Copeland said, do you want me go to the police?

I believe that. Under that, that would be snitching, right? Young thug tells his man, go to the cops. Go tell the cops. They're shooting at you. Nah, this lawyer's cooking. He's cooking. He's cooking. Cooking. I said, if you had nothing to do with it, they think you did it. Go to the police.

In addition to that, Mr. Copeland said, well, I'm going to retaliate. Mr. Williams told him, don't do that. Let 12 handle. That's on recordings. That is on recordings. Let 12 handle it. January 11th of 2015 with detective. Yeah, I got a scratchy throat.

That's something drinking water. My bad. Thorpe. Usually drink liquor. Dedicated. Your Honor, as far as Dwayne Carter, The performer known as Little Wayne Mr. Williams had no conflict with him.

They are friends. Now I'm going to lie. This is such a great line, but this is how I want my lawyer to lie to me. You know, as far as, as Little Wayne, him and young tug were buddies. They're friends. Listen to this.

This is the best line ever, I ain't going to lie to you. You need a lawyer like this. Carter, the performer known as Lil Wayne, Mr. Williams had no conflict with him. They are friends. We were presenting evidence that right before this. This shooting of the tour bus is April 26 of 2015. Mr. Williams is performing in New

Orleans area. And that's the area where it's Holly Grove, where Mr. Carter or Lil Wayne performed, known as Little Wayne, comes from. And in order to drum up popularity and interest, people get on the internet and they start what's called rap battles, arguments, feuds. That's what happened here. And you would have heard testimony from Mr. Williams' management. that they said start a rap battle. It'll be better for your career. Mr. Dwayne Carter is aware of that. Mr. Dwayne Carter's interview.

The state's aware of this. He has interviews after this. Are you mad? What's the real deal with Jeffrey Williams? He states, no. He's great with me. He brought popularity to me. He loves me.

He idolizes me and I love working with him. They did an album together. In 2014, they're in the studio together, making music together. It is all made up that Mr. Williams is involved. Mr. Williams gives a statement. The state refuses to put it. in and then stop me, the previous judge, from cross-examining the detective.

His name is Racy. He met with Mr. Williams in the DeKalb County Jail on the 15th day of July 2015. Mr. Williams is arrested that day. And there's a long interview. Mr. Williams waives his right to counsel. He tells him, I'm his lawyer. They say, you don't want to speak to us? You don't have to.

He said, well, I'll speak with you. And they asked Mr. Williams these questions. What about Little Wayne shooting? He said, it was outrageous. I love him. That's my idol. I love Little Wayne. How about this battle?

He says it's promotion. They ask about his rap lyrics. It's the only person that the state ever did anything about rap lyrics with. And they asked Mr. Williams, what about the rap lyrics? And he tells him, it's hyperbole. He didn't use that word. He used the word. It's made up.

It's rhyming. It's made up. Not like the state is saying that I rap lyrics for real. That's not even Mr. Williams' utterance. Your Honor, the point I'm trying to make to you is what the state of Georgia is presented to this jury. This is good. In this courtroom, the past year has been full. of untruths.

And they know it. The state says that Mr. Williams had a conflict because he named an album with Dwayne Carter. Dwayne Carter's interviewed. He said that was one of the nicest thing anyone could have done to me. It shows how much he really appreciates me.

It shows respect and honor and I appreciate what he did. The state knows this with regards to No, this is good. Jimmy Winfrey. What the state did is they put in a recording. It's not Mr. Williams. It's a jail recording Mr. Winfrey and an unknown person. And an unknown person says, when you get out, you're going to get a Porsche and $250,000.

Mr. Williams not privy to that. The state looked at all of Mr. Williams' bank records, everything. They undressed him financially. There's zero evidence Mr. Williams did anything from Mr. Winfrey. The state tells you that Mr. Winfrey asked for money for a lawyer. The conversation was, and it was reported, it was with Mr. Williams' manager. And Jimmy Winfrey said, I need to show that I was gamefully employed for the court. Can you get me something from YSL? And the manager said, yeah, if we have it. And if it's true, yes, you can have it.

That is it. There's no evidence that Mr. Williams paid for anybody's lawyer, Mr. Winfrey or otherwise. In addition to that, Your Honor, the social media postings with Mr. Rashon Bennett, also known as. If he could explain how young thugs said, I'm going to kill you. this is the lawyer of the century. Y, F, N. Lushy. So Mr. Williams, the state tells you,

tells Mr. Bennett on social media, I would have killed you if I didn't like the way you take care of your mother and children. That is the... It's no way he could explain this. Like, that shit was so wild. That was like one of them posts that says,

lock me up and throw away the keys. No way he could explain that. That is the post. What they don't tell you is Mr. Bennett, who is also, to his credit, trying to drum up his career. Mr. Bennett is picking on Mr. Williams, who's a much higher profile artist than Mr. Bennett at that time.

And Mr. Bennett is saying that he slept with Mr. Williams' fiance, while Mr. Williams and she are a significant couple, that Mr. Williams' music is awful. Nobody should listen to his music ever. Mr. Williams responds by saying, we can do an album together if you want. Stop this. The man continues of how he's sleeping with Mr. Williams' significant other.

and then Mr. Williams responds by saying, I would have killed you except for what you do. That is the context that they don't tell you about. And Mr. Williams did nothing to Mr. Bennett. In fact, the evidence would have shown if we had time or we would have gone forward that Mr. Bennett and Mr. Williams are on the red carpet receiving awards in California sitting right next to each other and taking photographs. This is not the Jeffrey Williams. Jeffrey Williams is a known person who is all over the place.

If he did something, somebody wanted him, they can find him. This is not, he's not hanging out on Cleveland Avenue. What the state is saying are not true. The situation with Mr. Bennett, so he's in the Fulton County Jail and he's housed, and there are crazy, sick, violent people, and they're on the phone. And Mr. Myrick, NYRIC, is calling other people, supposed co-conspirators. How much will Jeffrey Williams give? He doesn't say that, but that's the theme of it, as well as Christian Eppinger.

What the state doesn't tell you is that when Mr. Sumlin is asked, hey, find out how much thug will pay me to kill Mr. Yaf and Lucci. Mr. Sumlin says, I don't know his number. I can't get in touch with him. He doesn't talk to me. And that's because, Your Honor, since 2015, and he means no insult. But Jeffrey Williams has had zero contact with Shannon Stillwell until this case. Oh, shit. Kenneth Copeland, Domech, and Garlington.

Isn't Kenneth Copeland, why so would he? Justin Cobb Demise McMullen Mr. Sledge Mr. Murphy Damn All these people This is a lie

This is a 100% lie And that's why we tended to no low plea To being a leader Of a criminal street gang Mr. Williams is not a leader King Slime ain't no fucking leader Y'all think he's trying to set him up

King Slime don't pull no shots He's not the man behind the shadows He don't get getting old niggas clipped. What he's not talking about? In fact, if we don't go forward on Mr. Huey's phone, there are conversations with Mr. Copeland. And they both say how Jeffrey Williams is a zero, an F him.

And they can't, they don't talk to him. And Jeffrey Williams never does anything for them. Mr. Huey, Mr. Williams met later. He met him closer in the time of 2020. Mr. Huey's father went through a, horrible episode that Mr. Williams knew, and that's how Mr. Williams knew his son, who's Mr. Huey. And Mr. Huey's on hard times, and Mr. Huey's making mistakes. And Mr. Huey, supposedly, Mr. Williams believes, arm robbed, a man named Chandler Durham, D-U-R-H-A-M.

Mr. Durham is Mr. Williams, he's a fabulous record engineer. And Mr. Williams states, tell him to give back the property or he's going to die. The state puts that as an over-ed act. No one dies. The property doesn't get returned. Mr. Huey ignores Mr. Williams. The state told you today that Jeffrey Williams sent Mr. Huey a posting that Mr. Yaf and Lucci is going to be performing on January 19, 2020. That's not true. Mr. Huey sent that to whose ever phone that was, and all says is slat and slatty. Well, I went out to the places that Mr. Bennett was supposed to perform.

There's no shooting. There was no fight. There was nothing to report. There's nothing here. In addition, the state says the same thing on September 12th, September 12th. the second, 2022 on Mr. Hewis phone. I'm not conceding that with Jeffrey Williams even having a conversation with him, but even if it was, it doesn't show anything.

It says slaties lay low. Lay low means don't do anything. Get out of the way. That is what it is. That is Mr. Williams' role. Mr. Williams, there is evidence in the record, and there would have been more. All right. Now he's going to propose a sentence.

Let's get to that. Stores that Mr. Williams found about. Here we go. He had, he went talent. He's not just a rap artist. In fact, when he's interviewed, In 2017, he gives a statement and he says, I had a learn rap. He grew up in a house learning other forms of music.

He liked all music. But rap hit in his community. And his community raised him. They supported him. They came out to him. They made him get into establishments. And once the establishment saw all the people come out, he got more establishments. Then he went out of that little area in Atlanta to other parts of Georgia

and then to all the neighboring states and throughout our country. and he has performed on every continent but one. He is performed in front of being the headliner, 300,000 people at one time. He has a real life and career. He is not the leader, and he is not worried about buying jewelry that is stolen. Mr. Williams is actually innocent.

I'm not trying to corrupt our plea. That's his plea, and he's entitled to it, and he wants it. Okay. Anyway, it doesn't show that last part. Okay, so let's just go to, I know, again, we missed the day of streaming it live and some of you have watched this without me. I just want to be meticulous because we did miss this whole day. So I want to play all the relevant parts.

And the next relevant part is Young Thug giving a speech. And then we'll get to what the judge did. Okay. Also, there's another video that we could have played, which is, that's another case. Yes, ma'am. Um, actually, let me just play. this before. Sorry. So this is what Mr. Williams opens up any of a car that he'll five years

in custody. So this was the this was the the, the, um, his lawyer suggested the judge think of. I mean to interrupt you. I know, it's fine. And your honor, I'll answer any of your question, but the point I'm trying to make is 45 years to serve 25 years in prison when just. So, so the prosecutors said that they wanted the judge to consider 45 years for young thug with him serving 25 years in prison which would have him on a 20 year probation

after doing 25 years right which means if we do the time adjustment he would probably have to serve about 20 more years right so he would be in jail until about like 2045 right and um that was a stipulation they also wanted and uh shit I guess I should play that as well. Let me see what I'm fine. I'm sorry. Because I got to show you the judge, the prosecutor basically requesting the judge do all these crazy things.

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Prosecutor is the, do it? No, no, no. Okay, give me one second. Give me one second time. I'm sorry. A prosecutor. I don't know if we got it.

You probably don't have it. The armed robbery. Let me see. I checked on that, Your Honor, with respect to count, one, as a co-conspirator, Mr. Williams is responsible for all of the acts of the other co-conspirators, the overt acts, the overt act of the murder of Donovan Thomas is one of those acts. I know, and this trial is not complete, and so y'all have not yet proven that. Not to mention that you're responsible for all.

Given that those negotiations have broken down, we are asking that the court sentence, Mr. Williams, as we have asked earlier and prior to the court imposing a sentence, we would ask that Ms. Shawana Edmonds, who is the mother of Mr. Thomas, be allowed in our... Okay, she's not going to just say it directly. I'll tell you what they wanted.

So they had offered young thug privately. 15 years probation, you walk today, but shit ton of stipulations. Thug said no, let the judge decide. Now that they're done with that negotiation, They said to the judge, judge, I think you should give him 45 years, okay? This nigga just won't learn. 45 years, let him serve 20, right?

Or serve 25 or whatever the case is. Sees all his cars, sees all of his property, sees all of his jewelry. Those will be upheld for compensatory, you know, a restitution in terms of the damages that was caused by all of this why I sell shit for the victim. and banning from Atlanta and there was a couple more other stipulations it was a lot that that was there actually I think I think it's written out somewhere let me see if I can find it somebody on Twitter wrote it out 45 years sees where it is where it is fuck I can't see it anyway it was some wild ass plea you feel what I'm saying and essentially that's when you had Brian Steele come back around and said, yo, judge, they're playing games.

They offered us privately, 15 years of probation and we walk home, right? Also, the judge brings up, how do y'all want him to, why are y'all suggested in 45 when that murder hasn't been adjudicated and no one has pled guilty for it yet? You get what I'm saying? And he wasn't charged with the murder. And actually, the other guys who were charged with murder, they didn't plead guilty to murder. So how is he taking, how can I punish him? for a murder when we don't have any of the murderers.

Even if you're saying he was responsible for the murder happening, how does that work? Anyway, and by the way, I think Yat Gadi, actually, I don't know if Yagadi's, Yagotty do have a murder on his thing. Okay, cool. So let's get to Young Thug's speech real quick, and I'm sorry for dragging this out, but again, we missed that whole day.

Here's Young Thug's speech. I take full responsibility for, you know, my crimes or my charges. I want to say sorry to my family, my mom. My mom got 11 kids. I can't say all their names, you know. My managers, my kids is not here. Really, everybody that got something to do with this situation,

I want to say sorry for just, like, you know, being, having so much time investing into this, you know. I am a smart guy. I am a good guy. And I really got a good heart. I find myself in a lot of stuff because I was just nice or cool. And I understand that you can't be that way when you reach a certain height because it could end bad and they don't really have to have them to do with you,

but it can't end bad and he could, you know, fall on you. And I know the choice is yours is up to you. I hope that you allow me to go home today and just trust in me to just do the right thing and never see you again unless it's at a, you know, bar in the future or something. Just out of this type of situation, I promise you I'm going to ever be in this type of situation again. I'm going away. I've learned from my mistakes, you know, I come from nothing and I've made something and I didn't take full advantage of it. I'm sorry. Through these last two and a half years of my life,

you are really, truly, honestly, the best thing that has happened to me because you made everything fair. Get them tears, my boy. It's all good. So good. Yeah, yeah. Get them tears, my boy.

Let's get it. Let's get it. For me and everybody involved on both sides, you know. You know, the judge right now, her pussy way. She's like, oh, shit. Oh, shit. No, that just, yo, that just fuck with niggas.

Come on, come on. We know what it is. This Atlanta. You know what it is. I'm sorry to the share, you know, everybody for just having to put extra time in. I know y'all got paid more money, but... Oh, shit.

Nika, got jokes. I know y'all got paid more money. I'm sorry for y'all having to put this extra time in and be away from y'all family, you know, and I just hope that you find it in your heart to... allow me to go home and be with my family and just do better as a person. I know what I bring to the table.

I know what I am. I know the heights I've reached. I know the impact I got on people, period, in the community, you know, all people. I learned that late, like, these past two or three years of my life, I kind of learned that late and maybe it was because I was, you know, probably on drugs or anything. I don't know, but I have came to my senses and I understand what I mean to this world, but I am a good guy, you know, I don't mind doing stuff like, you know, like, free shows, and I always did that, you know, I did free shows and gave it to single parents, millions of

dollars. You know, I made $1.8 million on a free show and I gave it all to single parent charity. And I did like two or three shows that made like 700,000 a piece. And I gave it to the breast cancer organization. Like, you know, I do things. I put millions of dollars back into my community for real. I really did. I did more than anybody ever did from my side, you know. But I understand, you know, rap lyrics.

I understand how it could be twisted. I understand what it could do to the mind of people. I understand all that. and I promise you I'm 100% changing that, you know, it's just I'm older. I'm grown now, you know, and it's just like I'm smarter. It's more things to wrap about. Like I've experienced a lot of good things. I experienced more bad things, but I experienced a lot of good things too.

Yeah, they said, I hold on. Anyway, I can go forever. Well, I appreciate it. And I appreciate that you do realize how much of an impact you have on people. I mean, it's past your neighborhood. It's worldwide, especially young people. And having come up from where you came up from and living in and around that,

you know that gangs are damaging to our community. And it may be that all, a whole lot of rap music and the rap industry is, I mean, honestly, it sounds like a modern day version of kind of WWE wrestling that used to be on television where people would just get up in posture and act like they hated each other. And it may be that that's a lot of what is going on

in the music industry with rap. But whether it is fake or not, it has tremendous, tremendous impact on kids and young people who think this is cool, this is what I want to do. Look at him. He's a millionaire. I can do that by being, you know, a gangster in the streets. And that's not true.

What you're likely to have happened to you if you're a gangster in the streets is you get shot, you get killed, or you get thrown in prison. And those are, you know, by far the most likely outcomes. And, you know, you've been in here watching the trial, and you've seen the pictures of Mr. Ryan posing with a gun as big as he is at 15 years old and going out and shooting and killing another teenager. And that's what gangs do And that's unfortunately a lot of what rap music does And if you are

A modern day John Lennon You know I mean he might he might have rap too in this day and age I don't know but I know your talent The judge got some jokes Ah man Wanted and

Yo I'm telling you man The judge was fucking with that bar to six man The bar of six bumming Listen man the judge This is what the judge is just bumping all the way to court, man. Come there, hey, man. The cooler like A-ka, fuck out the bunch shit.

God the city's coming. The ball of sea coming here. The body said bumming. The body's it bumming. Come on, man. And even if you choose to continue to rap, you need to try to use your influence to let kids know that that is not the way to go.

And that there are ways of... are ways out of poverty besides hooking up with the powerful guy at the end of the street selling drugs. And, you know, I know that happens for protection sometimes, but a much better way would be getting an education and setting, you know, hanging around with people who set a good example. And you be one of those people that says a good example. I mean, all right, so that's my high horse on that. I could also go on. But I want you to try to be more of the solution and less of the problem. All right?

All right. So it is not lost on the court that the state, had they been able to come to agreement on certain special conditions, was willing to entirely dismiss the RICO count, was willing to entirely dismiss one of the gang counts, and was willing to entirely dismiss this, you know, machine gun count, was willing to give a sentence that permitted Mr. Williams to walk out of the door today and therefore does not seem to be particularly worried that Mr. Williams, if on the streets, would be a danger to society. I'm taking that into consideration and crafting

my sentence. And in permitting a NOLO plea to the RICO count and one of the two gang counts, I would not be permitting the NOLO to the one if you were not pleading guilty to at least one of them. But you are and y'all admit a factual basis for the counts that you are pleading guilty to. I find there. That's kind of funny. She actually earlier said she was permitting the Nolo to both. So the both count one and 56, which is both some criminal street gang thing. Now she kind of stepped back off of it by saying because they were going to, to keep her,

real, Doug, yo, this judge is mad sympathetic to thugs. She fucks with thug heavy. And probably,

you know, maybe it's not even about thug. Maybe she really don't like this chick. Like, she is so sick and tired of this

prosecutor. Like, I think she's just saying, fuck y'all, like, just directly. Because, again, she was open,

opening at first, she was like, I'm cool with tendering, I'm cool with your tender of no load to both of those, those big charges. Now she's amended it

to say, all right, well, plea guilty to one, no low to the first. And the one that they they pled guilty too doesn't have him in the leadership role. It just said that he was he was doing gang shit. Right. Now if he ain't slapped nobody, if he ain't doing nothing, they can't pin it on him saying he instructed people too because he pled no load to that that charge.

To be a factual basis for those counts and for the remaining counts with which you are charged. I am going to impose a sentence and I've taken a little bit of the oh shit I got to go to the other video this is ended my bad my bad my bad here we go here we go the judge here we go I appreciate that you do realize how much of an impact getting an education streets is you get shot you get killed act like that I mean, all right, so that's that's my high horse rate that Mr. Williams, if on the streets, would be a danger to society. I'm taking that into consideration and crafting my sentence. Okay, okay.

Let me go back and go a little further. That's permitted on that count. It is required to be run consecutively. I'm going to run it consecutive to count one, but I am going to backload. Oh, I'm sorry, that is not commuted. That is five years to serve, and it's going to be run consecutively to count one, backloaded by which I mean, after you serve your 15 years of probation. If you have been successful on that probation, and I sincerely hope that you are,

then at the end of that 15 years, I will commute the entire rest of any service portion of your Senate. to time served. So I'll get to the end of it and give you the total sentence, but I'm also going to impose a $15,000 fine with regard to that count.

Count 57, 20 years to serve 5, commuted to time served, the balance of 15 years probated, concurrent with count 1. Count 58, 10 years to serve 5, commuted to time served, balanced

probated concurrent with count one. 59, five years to serve, commuted to time served, concurrent with count one. 65 years to serve, commuted to time served, concurrent with count one. Count 61, five years to serve. That is required to be also a consecutive sentence, so that's going to be run consecutively to count 56 and backlighted.

Count 62, 10 years to serve. serve also required to be served consecutively. That's going to be consecutive to count 61, also backloaded. So essentially the total sentence is 40 years to serve the first five years in prison but commuted to the time that you have already served, followed by 15 years on probation, followed then by the backloaded 20 years, which can be served in custody and will be served in custody if you are not successful on your probation if you are successful in completing your 15 years probation that will be commuted to time served you are to remain on reporting status for the first half of your

probation active reporting for the first seven and a half years of your probation and that is pursuant to OCGA 17-10-1 subsection 2 I'm sorry, A to A. And Mr. Steele and Mr. Adams, in order to keep him on reporting status, there needs to be good cause shown. We all concede that good cause is shown here. Stipulate. All right, I appreciate that.

Special conditions of your probation. What good calls? What do you mean? Can I have a second, Your Honor? Sure. At the judge. Thank you, Your Honor. All right.

You had enough time to talk with your attorneys? Yes. Okay. Brian still got it, man. All right, special conditions of your probation. After 48 hours from your release, you are to stay away from the Metro Atlanta area. And that's... I can't ban King Slime from Atlanta.

So after 48 hours, King Slime is no longer permitted on Blevlin? What? Defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, it may change. But you can look that up any time to figure out what that is for the first 10 years of your probation, subject to the fall of that. It's this bureau. It may change. So it's Metro Atlanta.

And she made sure to say Metro Atlanta, because it holds a significant metro Atlanta area. I think that might just come up with a map. Oh, there's five counties. Okay, so he's banned from more than Atlanta. So the Metro Atlanta area And that's why she said by the U.S. Census Standard Bureau, which could change. So the city of Atlanta, we have Atlanta, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Marietta. Other places are Athens in Clark County, Gainesville, LaGrange, Rome, Jefferson, Calhoun, Cornelia, Cedar Towner, Thomas Town.

or Thomas Titt. Okay. Okay. That's a lot of people that live there. So there's 6 million people that live in the... Oh, well, this says Sandy Springs. It says Metro Atlanta, though. Let's see.

The Metro Atlanta designated about the U.S. United States of Office Management Budget. It's known as the... Oh, it's known as this area. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Oh, okay. So damn, it's a lot of places. He basically got to move out of Georgia, essentially, right?

You got to move out of Georgia, damn there. Fayetteville, can't live in Fulton County, Gwinnett County, can't live in Cobb County, can't live in the Cowb County, Calton County, Cherokee County, Forsyth County, Henry County, Douglas County, Fayette County, Rockdale County. Oh, you know what, so someone was, someone who was breaking this down to me. And they said, so previously, so what this is known as,

I don't know if I could Google it and find it. Let me see if I can Google and find it. I'm staying on topic, don't you worry. It's called banishment, right? Banishment, Georgia. Let's see. Georgia banishment law. Okay.

Now, here's what happened. So there was a whole thing about this, right? That basically every county, but one, county outlawed banishment. So what they would do is when you get charged with certain crimes and they realize even if you're going to be on probation, just you being in that county still is going to fuck shit up, they'll do some shit called banishment as a, you know, a part of your plea. They're giving you a plea array.

They're telling you, get the fuck one out of here, right? Like, for example, you know, Kodat Black is banned from some counties, I believe in South Carolina for that case he had got in which he took a plea. He can't go back there, right? can't do a show, can't do nothing. Well, maybe he could do a show, but he would definitely have to go talk to the judge before, but he's banned.

So in banishment, here's this funny and interesting thing. They said, apparently there's 159 counties in Georgia. 158 of them had some banishment laws, which also meant if you're banned from those other counties, you can't come here. There was one county that did not have any banishment laws and actually prohibited banishment. So guess what happened?

The only way you could stay in the state, Georgia, everybody that got banned from those other 158 counties kept coming there. And then the residents of that county got mad because they said in all the criminals, all the killers, rapists, everybody's coming there because that's the only way they can stay in Atlanta or stay in Georgia is because that one state or that one county didn't acknowledge banishment. So what ended up happening is that that state changes, not state, that county changes law and say, hell not, because all of a sudden it became like the perch.

All the killers start coming over there. Look, banishment blah, blah, da da, da, da. Here we go, here we go. However, courts have figured out of work around. Georgia has 159 counties, so a judge can't banish someone from the state altogether. They can legally banish someone from 158 counties. Most often they'll banish someone from every county except Eccles County, a swampy spot to the south, with the assumption that everyone will fully flee Georgia instead of going there.

Except what would happen is that by the nature of some people still trying to, trying to get, you know, whatever benefits of still being in Georgia, they would just go to Echols County. So imagine you're the killer, you're the kidnapper, you're the biggest drug dealer, biggest rapist, y'all all go to this one county. And the people in the county are like, what the fuck, y'all keep bringing all the killers over here.

So that's the interesting thing about banishment. So pretty much, you know, Thug isn't banned from the whole Georgia, but damn there, he bad, right? You got to get out of Georgia, right? So that thing is young thug going to take up, he'd probably go move to Houston or something like that

Houston or it could move to Alabama but I feel like he liked being in the mix somewhere right I can't see Thug do in Miami I can't see him doing Miami let's see let's see let's see let's see let's see that

hold on let me just go back to where the judge is saying but you can look that up anytime to figure out what that is for the first 10 years of your probation does that sound good though move all the ban the criminals from the areas you don't want to have

crime and put them in their own in their own county together that's purge county y'all niggas go kill each other over there y'all go rape each other over there y'all go sell y'all drugs over there y'all go hit each other with cars with dracos over there just don't come anywhere beyond over there that sound good oh yeah i think he's just going to go to florida and subject to the following i don't i don't think thugs are l a niggins like that too i i think he like being out south i think he going to stay, I think he'll stay south. He might not go to, yeah, he might go to Miami. Might go to Miami. I know a lot of things go to Miami.

Exceptions, you are permitted to be in the Metro Atlanta area to attend any wedding funeral or graduation from high school college or graduate school of any of your immediate family members. And immediate family members is defined the same way that you all were contemplating it when you were negotiating. You can get here up to 24 hours prior to any such event, and you need to leave within 48 hours after any such event. In addition, during each year of your probation,

I'm going to require that you come to the Metro Atlanta area and make a live anti-gang and anti-gun violence presentation four times a year, each year of your probation, at a grade school, a middle school. Y'all know what this mean, right? The judge ain't slick. Trying to get thug to do one of these. Trying to get thug to do one of these, chat.

Hey, what's saying, you y'all? Some people call me tip, but this is about another kind of tip. They call me thug, but this is about catching another type of thug. Yo, they call me young thug, but this is trying to stop the other youngians that are thugs. Like, we're going to have something like this. We can help our mothers, our sisters. our brothers and our fathers That's what they try to get out of that

nigga thug. Thug going to do it the swaggy way though. Live anti-gang and anti-gun violence presentation four times a year each year of your probation at a grade school, a middle school, a boys or girls club, anything like that, that type of group.

And if you want to, that presentation can include a benefit concert and these presentations may count towards your requirements, community service hours, which I'm going to impose, that during each year of your probation, you perform 100 hours of community service. That's late.

You are, and this is required by the fact that there's a gang conviction. You shall not knowingly have contact of any kind or character with any other member or associate of any criminal street gang. Exception to that, if your brother is a member of any street gang, I hope you talk him into getting out of it, Quantavis Greer, and then also Sergio Kitchens,

as long as you are contractually obligated to him, that is going to include anybody who is named in this indictment, except as absolutely necessary to conduct the lawful business of your musical career, and to any extent that the state is not agreeing, to the exception for Mr. Kitchens. So they're allowed him to deal with Young Thubb, to deal with Gunna. There's no actual, there's actually no, you know, they have contractual obligations to each other.

I've seen a lot of people like jump out of the window by saying, this means Young Thug wants to do music with Gunna. That remains to be seen. Maybe he does, but it doesn't mean that. The reason why they had to do that carve out, Let me tell you how generally most contract works, right? For example, if you sign to someone and that person goes to jail, and usually, you know, for terminations of most contracts,

I've seen many people get out of management situations this way. If you sign to one guy or you have a management deal with a guy who goes to jail, if they can't do their duties because they're incarcerated for over a certain period of time, that's grounds for contract determination. So it is maybe a contractual move to say, yo, if, again, I'm pretty sure why I sell, you know, as a label, it's way bigger than just thug. But if the person who's the leader of the label

and the person who is essentially the CEO of the label, if he can't communicate with an artist, that could be grounds for Sergio Kitchens, aka Gunna, to get out of that deal. hey listen legally we're not even supposed to be communicating and granted you could say well he's appointed this president or whatever that you could communicate damn there by proxy but again it might have in his contract where certain duties right certain deliveries he deliverables he has to deliver and then maybe certain things thug has to do for him you don't know how that contract is

so if the judge had barred him from speaking or having any type of ties with sergio kitchens that might have gave Gunna the ability to just be out free of that YSelt contract. By the way, you know what's interesting? Gunna has shouted out Thug a lot of times. Gunna has spoke nothing about Doug coming home. He has not said anything. So I'm guessing maybe they're going to have a conversation. Clearly they can because the judge is carving it out,

even though she's saying she's doing it for lawful business purposes. But she's carving it out that he could speak to, Doug. We're going to see where those conversations go to. Will Thug forgive him? That's going to be very interesting. The reality is, I'm going to be honest with you, I want to see how this all plays out because I think baby's going to look really, really stupid. But I don't think Thug is going to make baby look stupid.

You know why? Yo, the reason why, I know five rappers in particular, I won't say anything about the ones that you don't know, that specifically got told by told to by thug and his people we're not fucking with Gunna and those people didn't fuck with Gunna and actually some of them spoke against Gunna

and if it comes back around that young thug gets back with Gunna they kind of look crazy especially if you know maybe they sacrificed some of their career by ostracizing a guy who I think Gunna's kind of succeeded throughout this whole thing we'll see but you know um this doesn't guarantee that they're going to work together. Clearly there's going to have to be conversations. Doug got to be able to get over whatever he's upset about with Gunna's plea or wherever the lack

of breakdown or the breakdown with their communication was. But the judge did acknowledge that he can communicate with Gunn. By the way, here's also the interesting thing. This whole thing about not being around people who are in gangs. Now, this is very difficult. So for example, in a situation, with, like you're a musician, how could, you know, half of these niggas are gang members? How could you be in the studio with these other guys

who they're all claiming there in a gang, right? Or they're all saying gang, gang, gang, disenter. That's going to be very interesting to navigate, but the judge did put a carve-out to say, as long as it's not for work, but then you kind of become under the same situation where the RICO kind of came out. Yeah, he's going to say,

all the lyrics are entertainment. Then the judge, then the prosecutor is going to say now these lyrics are, are promoting the street gang. So suppose he links up with some street dudes, but they were talking about doing some music. Right?

So it's going to become a slippery slope. I will tell you the story of just, you know, how crazy some of these probation stipulations could be. I don't know if you remember. Let me see if you can find it on this screen right here. Actually, I'll just look it up live. And NBA Young Boys' last concert. NBA young boy last concert.

Was this concert? I think it was this concert here, or was it one in L.A.? I think it was this. I don't know if it was this. Yeah. I don't know if it was this. I got to see if it was this.

It might have been that one. Anyway, the story I got told was that, and if it wasn't this, it's one in L.A. Young boy essentially was on some probation, right? and it was stipulated that young boy, because he had a provision of probation that he couldn't be around gang members and he couldn't interact with them,

to not violate the probation, young boy had to stay outside the venue for the whole time until like 15 minutes before his call time. When he went in, he had to, first of all, he had to pay for a police officer to escort him. The police officer escorted him in, He couldn't chill with nobody backstage. He had to go damn near directly to the stage, perform,

and then immediately leave the building. Why? There were gang members around, and the probation or whatever, you know, supervised release statute said he can't be around in people. But, you know, you get a carve-out, okay, I'm doing a concert, but the cop has to, like, be the liaison. I don't know if they're going to be that crazy.

I mean, it's Fulton County. I feel like Fulton County, anything goes. So they probably not going to respect that. statute that much, but apparently with NBA young boy, it was that crazy where like he literally had to walk in with somebody who was, um, who was a police officer and they stayed there until he performed and they left right afterwards. So I don't know. I got to figure out the actual show we were talking about, but I don't know. Anyway, all right. In the event that that part is not enforceable because it is only a portion of a special condition going to provide that that be severable from the rest of this.

And I'll put some case sites in the Senate sheet for that. You are in no way to promote any criminal street gang or any criminal street gang activity, including on any social media platform. You are not to utilize any hand signs, terminology, or language that promotes any criminal street gang. You are not to participate in any criminal street gang activity. You are not to knowingly engage in any contact with any of the victims that are listed in this indictment or with any of their family members. And you may not have in your possession or with arms reach. Now, what that does say is that, it does also ban him from speaking to about or continuing to ignite any feud with

with wife and luci wife and luci is a victim in this case he's a victim of the stabbing and he's a victim of an attempted shooting so that's going to be very important when it comes to you know who could young thug speak to afterwards ironically it would have unless they carved out a special provision, this would have also banned him from being able to speak to Rich Homi Kwan, not that he was going to, but if Ruchalmi Kuan was still alive, Ritchhom Kwan is also listed as a victim. You get what I'm saying? Any kind of a firearm because you're going to be a convicted felon. And that is, except I know that you have security and you need security.

You can be within arm's reach of a firearm that is in the possession of either licensed law enforcement or licensed security personnel that are in your security detail or anybody that you're performing with. You are to submit to random drug screen. Wait, what is that? Hold on. And that is, except I know that you have severe family members. And you may not have in your possession or with arms reach any kind of a firearm because you're going to be a convicted felon. And that is except I know that you have security and you need security.

So security could have guns. Not good. You can be within arms reach of a firearm that is in the possession of either licensed law enforcement or licensed security personnel that are in your security detail or anybody that you're performing with. By the way, I'm just, I'm just tell you the interest in the, the interesting stipulations. could get put down in some of these courts. When I spoke to Young and Ace, Young and Ace said that the judge banned him from having any security detail that had guns.

So not only could him nor his immediate crew have guns, but he couldn't hire security guards that could carry weapons. They only allowed him to hire police officers that could carry weapons. And you know sometimes hoodniggas don't want to be around police. So essentially it nerved him having security. He couldn't have armed security. He would have to get cops or do no security, which is interested. You are to submit to random drug screens and not use any drugs unless they are prescribed for you by a licensed physician.

You are to execute a Fourth Amendment waiver that will permit the search of your person, residence vehicles, and electronics for any firearms, any criminal street gang paraphernalia, or any illicit drugs. Whoa, whoa, hold on. Let's go back on that statute. It's a what? Or that that provision. Residence vehicles and a fourth amendment prescribed screens and not use any drugs unless they are prescribed for you by a licensed physician. Okay. You are to execute a Fourth Amendment waiver that will permit the search of your person, residence vehicles, and electronics for any fire any criminal street gang paraphernalia or any illicit drugs and wow now this is what that's huge that is very huge chat he says you're supposed to you're gonna you're gonna exercise a fourth

amendment waiver now granted when you do become a felon and for certain crimes you know the constitution is here to protect us of our rights but when you become a felon like for example you're your Second Amendment right, right, is then almost damn near infringed upon because you're not allowed to have guns. And Second Amendment right actually allows people to have guns. So you give up on that. This one is very important. It basically says that if a cop pulls Young Thug over,

he don't got as, you know, wheat is pretty, ain't we legal everywhere? They don't have to have probable cause to search a car. They'll probably run Young Thug's name. And when they run his name, they'll know he's on probation. And a part of the probation statute says, he could get searched for guns and drugs at any time,

which also is going to have to shift how he travels with people. Because maybe he don't got the gun on himself, but his homeboy got the gun. Well, his home boy not supposed to have the gun. Only security guard or police supposed to have the gun. So he's going to have to move a very different. Also, here's the thing. And by the way, even if they didn't ban him from Georgia, essentially,

he got to leave Georgia. You know why? bro, this DA and the cops who spent hours, you got to imagine these cops put in months, months and years into the investigation. And to see Doug walk, they're probably feeling worthless. So if he did stay in Georgia and you hear what the judge just said, you're waiving your Fourth Amendment right.

If you don't know what that is, the Fourth Amendment right is your right that protects you against illegal and unlawful searches and seizures, which means they need probable cause to search you. Okay, if you're driving a car, they need to have some probable cause. That could be a smell of weed if they see a gun in the back. They could search you.

That's probable cause. Or, and that standard of probable cause raises when it comes to your house. They got to really know you got some shit up in there. They got to get a warrant to search your residence. With thug, they could just search a shit now. Which that's going to be how if he, obviously we're hoping he never gets.

in contact with law enforcement again. But if he does get caught up with some shit, him signing that stipulation, he could never say in court later, yo, it's what they call fruit of the poison stream, which means y'all should have never did a, that's an illegal search. So whatever y'all found in the illegal search,

you can't use, because now they're going to say, nigger, we could search you any time. So if they see thug, they can be like, all right, nigger, spread them cheeks, nigger, let's see what you got. You know what I mean, obviously not going to just do that are targeted. But imagine if that's

something you have to live by where the cops can search you at any time, right? Damn. Price of freedom, man. Any firearms? Any criminal street gang? Somebody say I'm acting like cops don't violate your Fourth Amendment Right Daily. And I'm also acting

like cases don't get thrown out mad times because they violate your Fourth Amendment right. You rather have the right? And even if it gets violated, you could still fight with that right. to get whatever overturned later, when you don't have the right,

that's not something you could could even use as a tool to fight. That's the point. Paraphernalia or any illicit drugs. And as I mentioned with regard to one of the first of your co-defendants from this. Wait, hold on. Let me go back a little bit. Did they say, is the Fourth Amendment just for his person?

Because it would be crazy if they could just, search his like house or any illicit drugs waiver that will permit the search of your person residence vehicles and oh never mind person residents or vehicle yeah so they can run up in that crib yeah so any cop that pulls over young thug

they're gonna just search it just because yeah yeah you step out of the car nigga why am I stepping out I thought I just yeah I know I ran the nigga step out the car you're a felon it says on my system I get to search a car whenever I want get out Okay, so person, car, and residence. Yeah.

That's probably some of the stipulations that this prosecutor was trying to throw in there, right? You get a Fourth Amendment waiver that will permit the search of your person, residence, vehicles, and electronics for any firearms. Ooh, and electronics. Wow. Now, granted, if he has a lock on the phone at that point, it becomes a lot more serious. but they can literally just take his phone. Yo, let me see your phone.

Now they can't force them to give them the code if it's, if it's like locked. A criminal street gang paraphernalia or any illicit drugs. And as I mentioned with regard to one of the first of your co-defendants from this trial, at least since I've been involved to plead guilty, our uniform superior court rules instruct

and provide that it is absolutely proper for a judge to grant leniency in sentencing when, quote, the interest of the public and the effective administration of criminal justice are served, unquote. And I think that this plea is in the interest of the public and in the interest of effective administration of justice. Have been trying to ensure that to the extent I can this trial also abides by that. It's been challenging at certain times. I find your plea to be freely, knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily entered with an understanding of the consequences, and I accept it as such.

I also need to inform you that your attorneys were going to represent you through either the last day of this term of court or 30 days from now, whichever is later in any of the filings that were mentioned that need to be filed within that time. They would. Beasie World. Thank you for five. It's an act. You're so green, my nigga. Once you're in probation, all the rights is gone.

When you're in probation, they come to your house and look if they want to. Not in every state. Not in every state. It's definitely not in every state. Like, the way the probation department usually works with how they sentence you is very different.

Like, again, in a lot of, like certain places that are usually anti-gun. If they're going to give you such probation, they try to inhibit your ability to be around guns or no only, you know, have weapons wherever. So they might inflict that. But in certain other places, you have a little bit more rights. So it's not universal, but you're right.

Now, that does happen sometime. Would file on your behalf unless they are permitted to withdraw from representing you before that time. And Beezie says you was wrong admit it. I was never wrong. that's that's like you know it's so so funny how like the thug fans want like some adversarial type of thing you'll be happy young thug is free but just just be happy i said he would get convicted in court but it didn't go to a jury trial so it's like whether it got dismissed whether he took a plea the nigga pled guilty i said he was going

to be found guilty he pled guilty how was i wrong now if if he beat the case if he was acquitted, he pled guilty to at least three, three, if anything, it feels like I'm more right than wrong. Now, granted, it didn't go to the jury where he got found guilty, but rather than getting found guilty, he pled guilty. Like, everybody keeps talking like this is an acquittal. It's not an acquittal. I am not going to impose the conditions suggested by your counsel about the benefit concert, and the donations to the sheriff's office, but I certainly strongly encourage you to do those things and to do and continue to do things that.

Beasie World says pled guilty for what, act, not the gang leader. Well, brother, that's the nature of every plea. If they went to trial, he would either get, you would probably, most of those charges are linked. He would either get found guilty for all or found not guilty for all

in a plea you know a you know plea plea bargain hey I'll take this but but don't give me this that you never been to court nigga you said I'm green but Nick if you go to traffic court they call you doing

1-10 with some weed in the back nigga and then you swore over three lanes and then you ran three red lights they might be like all right we'll dismiss all the tickets associated with you run the red light we'll bring the speed down from 50 over to 35 over

you plead to this seat belt that's how it goes they dismiss something they give you something that's that's how you so you do a deal yo these thug fans are like like like retarded benefit your community and yeah my watch brash interview help young people to stay out of criminal trouble and unless there is anything from council other than that just like to tell busy world because it looked like this whole thing that if you think you let me tell how plea works just like in we get to find out in Tori's case, we're going to talk about Tori's case.

In Tori Lane's case, they were going to drop the assault charge, which it says him shooting Meg, but they wanted him to plea the discharge of the gun charge, right, the shooting of the gun. Yes, that's how pleas work. We're going to dismiss this. So technically, you could say I was in charge with shooting her, but then you're pleading guilty to shoot in the gun. He couldn't take that because people are smart. They put two and two together.

Well, she got shot and you plead guilty to shooting a gun. Well, you shot her, nigga. I have one matter, Your Honor. Okay, and does the state as well? Yeah, that's right. Your Honor, with regards to Mr. Williams of being permitted to come to the Metro Atlanta area

or Cleveland Avenue area for funeral or the other items, Right. Can you also consider, God forbid, there's a serious medical condition of a person that is... In his immediate family, certainly we can add that. And I also meant to mention, because I know you do travel all over in order to pursue your career, that it's permissible for your probation. Oh, my God, say, yeah, I mean to say anything. The only thing I'll admit that I am incorrect, but it's not even really me.

think it's the prosecutors, I think the rookies. I thought he was going to do some time. I thought he was going to do significant time. But the reason why I said he was going 100%. I said to him Vlad, I said it multiple places elsewhere, even here. I say he definitely won't get found guilty. We ain't see a nigga beat a Rico yet. Who would fuck beat a Rico?

This ain't beating a Rico. This is a plea. This is not beating the reek. I want a nigger to go through the RICO shit. And again, I just think I keep telling y'all, sex trafficking. Rico, wire fraud are charges that are damn near... There probably have been people that beat it. But they're damn near unbeatable charges. When you get caught up in that mix,

the burden of proof for the prosecutor's too low. All you got to do is prove that these bunch of niggins who you might not know or even know are rep in the same organization. That organization does some crime. And usually the person that we would know, the rapper, is the person who is using this operation or all of their actions and their funds are being used to push this forward.

It's kind of easy to prove. You get what I'm saying? They could have not agreed that Young Thug was behind Donovan Nutt Thomas murder, but they could have still proved it by saying, hey, was there a shooting done on behalf of Young Thug? Even if it was just somebody shut up a house or whatever. All that matters. You get what I'm saying?

So when they present, like, you know, a RICO case doesn't usually take too, years to present. They dropped off the kitchen sink. They dropped off the fuck ton load to try to get young thug. It's just that the prosecutors are stupid. But if he went to trial, now if you went to the jury, I think everybody gets convicted. It just gets thrown out, I believe. It's too easy to prove.

That's my only thing with Rico, right? For example, I'll give you an example, right? Let's say if they were considering to put me in the Rico charge for 9. Trey right I'm cool with they have me pictured with Shottie and Six 9 a bunch of times at a bunch of different events

right um six nine is trolling with me here or there where he's like yo that's my boy act that's my shooter right here he's trolling but you know these guys don't have nothing sounds funny in court like trolling don't sound funny social media shit

don't sound funny in court imagine then I'm also throwing up the signs and be like, yo, what a blood? Like, imagine if that's my lingo. And I'm doing handshake with some of the other members. Like, you know, they had all these hieroglyphic handshakes. Yeah, I could have not punched nobody, got in no fights. I could have not been around.

They could have just been like he was just a media guy who's non-Trey and he used to publicize all of this stuff to make that criminal organization furthered their notoriety. That's a RICO right there. prove that's not like that's my friend it's so contextual that when they come with the kitchen sink it's like bro like again this is me criticizing more of the the the uh riko statue it's broad bro like when niggins get hit with a rico money it's like it's completely hard to really beat man to be transferred to out of state and that has to be done through probation but um that is

fine with the court and um you may also keep your or nobody's mentioned it. Thidon says his pops beat a RICO in Fulton County. So, could you tell me the case? If you don't mind, if you don't mind? Tell me the case. So who was the leader on the case?

Tell me his full name. And I'll look it up. Him versus Fulton County. And I'll see if it ends in acquittal. Also, people are stupid. People will say you beat the case when you took a plea. That's like gun of saying he beat the case.

Y'all know what, just let you know, obviously this is a different type of plea. This is a non-negotiated plea versus the out. But just to be very clear, what Young Thug did and what Gunna did is the same thing in Skeleton version. Their plea bargain deals. That's it. Take it to trial has the thought of take it to the jury.

They took it to trial, but they cut the plea. This will be very clear, okay? But keep your passport and travel out of state and internationally to the extent. that you need to do that for business. Okay, so they didn't take his passport. That's good, that's good, hold on. You may also keep your, nobody's mentioned it, but keep your passport and travel out of state

and internationally to the extent that you need to do that for business purposes as well. All right, Mr. Body. Yes, Mr. And thank you. The district attorney just wanted me to urge the court due to the fact that the Thomas's have been negatively affected incredibly dramatically by what has been discussed by both parties here today to make a brief statement

as she believes that they fall within the exception or within the bounds of Marcy's law. And the court would allow my understanding board made a ruling earlier as it relates to that. But she wants to . All right. Thank you. And I appreciate, well, I cannot even

begin to understand what they must anybody must be going through when they lose a family member to violence or criminal violence mr. Williams himself has expressed his own sorrow to the family I again I'm going to stand by my belief that the appropriate time to hear yeah that's interesting The judge denies Donovan Nutt Thomas' mom twice to be able to speak. That, yo, yo, wait till who will interview Donvin Nutt Thomas mom first? Vlad or say cheese? When that person talks, bro, you got to be heartbroken.

You sat, they sat for all 155 days of this child. And when they're giving young thug time serving, they just want to add their two cents. Like, like, y'all talked this whole time about my son dying. Can I just say a few things? Because I've been the one crying. I've been the one hurting. I had to bury him. I had to do this.

Could I, could I say something? Judge said, nah, thug. Get your shit, nigga. You leave him. You live in jail. You're a victim impact statement. Oh, yeah, I think Adam 22? Now, I don't think you do Adam 22.

From them is at the close of the trial that contains the- And to be fair, the judge, the judge, the judge denied it at that time because he's saying that she's saying that the murder of donovan nut thomas is still being adjudicated because there's other people on the trial still going to stand trial so this trial isn't completely done thugs just getting out so so you know she's saying that i don't need to hear what she has to say for my for this plea but if she does want to give an impact statement she will at the time of sentencing um when all those matters connected to the murder of her son is wrapped up, which is not yet.

The murder count with regard to their family member. All right. Thank you. Okay. Court is adjourned. Good luck to you. And I'm going to have any, there better be no violations, but if there are any, you're coming back to see me. Yeah.

All right. Okay. Okay. That's actually good. I think the judge, one thing I've got to give this judge, the judge was fair to the process I think she was handed a shit show

and you know she tried her best to try to help the prosecutors get shit right but she realized she was dealing with incredibly incredibly incompetent people and let me see let's hear what the lawyers had to say

that that is not the way to get is just in that courtroom do and in particular. I don't know. We want to hear Brian Steele. This is the Michael Jordan right now. B-R-I-A-N-S-T-E-E-E-L.

And I'm Keith-E-I-T-H-A-M-S. And talk us through the decision to do a leave. You hear the news chopper above? Well, this was excruciating because hopefully, in our collective opinion, Jeffrey would have been found not guilty of everything. So this is very painful. But that's another three months or so in custody. And he wants to go home to his family.

And negotiations totally broke down with the district attorney's office. Horribly broke down. And at that point, we believe that justice would be found with the Honorable Court. And Jeffrey just wanted to go home. How agonizing it is to know that we've spent a year trying a case where the prosecutors have put on lies, knowing lies, hiding evidence is insane in 2024 in the United States of America. And the only reason that this got revealed is because of you people. You people brought the truth to the community.

because nobody knows this. This is not the only courtroom that's happening in, and I just want to thank all of you. I especially want to thank Jeffrey for letting me represent him. I think he's a wonderful person, who does wonderful things, and will continue to do things even greater.

I cannot express to you how Shaquille Kokomo, how Tricia Renard, how Haley, how my wife, Collette, how Bram, How brand, how countless people, but especially Ms. Courtney Edwards, has worked without sleep for three years representing Jeffrey and helping him.

I will never be able to stand with anyone more ethical, honest, hardworking, insightful, intelligent, and kind than the Honorable Keith Adams. The gentleman to my left is the best lawyer in the country. Damn, that's an alley-up of a century. That's an alley-up of a century. Damn. That's what Shaq used to be doing. You know, Shaq would get finals MVP, and he'd be like, listen, I couldn't do this.

I mean, thank you to DeKalbio Mutumbo after I just elbowed him 50 times. But I wouldn't be able to do this without my boy Kobe. And you see Kobe over here looking like, damn, my turn to get MVP, nigger? Yeah, okay. the board? No. I think processes negotiated in good faith at all during any of these negotiations?

Let me take this one. Let me answer that. The short answer is no. This is a case that possibly could have been resolved if folks were reasonable. But we did not believe that we could enter into good faith negotiations with people who wanted a case resolved in a manner simply to save face. and Jeffrey Williams was not going to say things that they wrote for him, that they wanted him to say, that was their theory when it wasn't true.

And so, good faith, no. I don't believe we would ever really negotiate. Oh, that's another, that's a win for thug, though. So in the non-negotiated plea, you know the whole thing with the Alford plea with the Gunna. The big difference here is that Gunna had to agree to, some of the things that the prosecutor were saying. That's where you get the yes, ma'am, yes, ma'am, yes, ma'am. And if he had taken the plea that the prosecutor was saying,

young thug would have to basically do the same, but admit to certain things, right? Like, yes, I did, I did send people to go kill this guy or whatever the case is. Or I did rent the card. It's probably not going to be up to the level of saying you send somebody and kill somebody. But he was going to have to admit to a bunch of stuff. And shit, I think that would have to make. made Thug look a little crazy as well, right? Because he might have to admit things about other people.

And we know how that comes across in court. Snitching, right? So Thug avoids all of that. And shit, great lawyers. Associating in good faith. And you've been here the past year that this case has been on trial. You've seen the numerous motions for mistrial. You've seen the behavior of the state.

You've seen the dishonesty. You've seen everything being hidden. You've seen things come out in court in front of you. And so you know what kind of prosecution we were dealing with, and that's okay. You know, Mr. Steele and I have fought through this the past two and a half years. And as he said, we ultimately decided we were going to put our faith in the court, as opposed to the folks on the other side of the aisle. And, you know, the best thing out of all of this is that Jeffrey Williams, in a very short period of time, will be home. And that's all we've wanted from May 9th when they went and picked him up and have held him in jail without a bond for the past two and a half years.

He'll be home shortly. Keith and Brian, this is either one of you can answer us. I have two questions for you. First off, you go into a blind plea, you don't know, right? There's nothing for sure. What was your emotions like when you guys went into that? I would imagine the Congress can kind of take us into the room before you went out into court? conversations were back and forth, obviously I know there's attorney client privilege, but it's a big decision.

Well, I didn't want to do, I didn't want to give up the jury trial, but that was a decision made. And once that decision was made, we were just thankful that there are people like the Honorable Judge Whitaker who understands what a trial is like and what it should be like. And I cannot thank the Honorable Court for being here and coming in. She is not our first judge, but she's the first time we received justice. Mr. Adams, this is your second high-profile RICO case here in Fulton County. You think that maybe the prosecutor's offices is abusing this statute? And what are your opinions of RICO General?

I have, for the 30-some-odd years that I practiced law, always believe that if you, as a prosecutor, think that someone has committed the crime, you charge him with the crime, you put it in front of a jury, and then you do it fairly and let the chips fall where they may. The courtroom is not the place to get adventurous, to get inventive, to think, well, we can't, we don't have evidence on him for any of these incidents, but maybe, if just maybe, we time up in a RICO and put him with people who may have committed crimes, we can get him that way. That's an abuse.

And so, yes, for some strange reason, the Fulton County DA. his office seems to be in love with Rico. And my honest opinion is that they're in love with it because it makes it easier for them to try and convict people that they otherwise could not convict. And that's what was happening here. We're fighting a mountain reams of evidence, most of which didn't have anything to do with us. And so is it an abuse? I think it is. There are better ways to, and I used to be a prosecutor, right? And I can tell you that there are better ways to prosecute cases than the way this case was prosecuted. You guys obviously rejected initially what the state was going to offer.

Is there some details he can give us? Because it sounds like from what you guys decided in court, I mean, it's still pretty stringent. There's a lot of different details, but what was the state asking for that you guys rejected? I'm not going to get into plea negotiations because they are privilege under statute, but it was outrageous. They would let him out of custody. but they would have a tether around him so tight that is unconscionable.

And how are y'all feeling about what the sentencing is, especially with not being able to be in Metro Atlanta except for specific parameters? And how is Mr. Williams feeling about that decision? You know, we're okay with the sentence. There comes a time in any case, if a person is sentenced, that we're out of the courtroom, and now what happens to that person is entirely up to them. Jeffrey Williams is a fantastically talented man.

He is a great person. He's become a great friend over the course of the last couple of years. And he has the ability, the incentive to go forth and do everything he needs to do to put this behind him. And we're confident that he will. One of the questions you asked a little earlier was what was that feeling like, stepping into a courtroom to do what's called a blind plea not knowing what's going to happen. You know, it's a scary feeling for all involved. There's probably no feeling quite like that

other than sitting in a courtroom waiting for a jury to come out and tell you what your fate is. But we walked in there knowing that we were in front of a fair tribunal and being comfortable that the right thing was going to happen and the right thing did. What do you think about your client just serving as a role model? Obviously, as part of the agreement, he's going to be participating in the community, doing events, things like that. Obviously, he has a huge reach for what he does for a living. I've known Jeffrey Williams. I've defended him for over a decade.

I have been with him where we go to young children, children in need, children who are going down the wrong way. And he tells exactly what he's going to continue to see. He tells everybody, this is not a good life. We have to stop the generational disaster that is plaguing the community. And although I, right now I'm successful, I'm a product, but every one of you can get out, and he always stresses education. Jeffrey Williams is a great person, a great role model, and he will do even better now, hopefully if you allow him and his words to get out.

As far as how Jeffrey's feeling now, he knows my feelings, which I'm not going to reveal for attorney-client privilege, but this is not the same as the not guilty verdict. That should have been rang. But nobody here wakes up every day on a concrete floor that they're calling his bed, gets up at 415 gets shackled and his feet, his waist, and his hands, comes to the Fulton County Courthouse to be on concrete eating out of a bag. Doritos is his meal of choice and then coming to a courtroom and sit there with a leg chain on him every single day and hear lie after lie. So for Jeffrey go home today and not have another 90 days or 120 days of it, he is very happy.

thankful to the honorable court. So to answer you a question, this was not what I wanted. I don't believe that it is just, but I believe that under these circumstances, it is justice for Jeffrey Williams, and he is delighted as are we. I'm thankful. Can I ask you, you were standing right next to him as he was addressing the judge, would seem like a very sincere apology to her, her apology to the court in what happened before what has gone on. How did you feel sitting next to going him for the last decade as a attorney for him. How about what he was saying and what he was telling the judge? Jeffrey Williams is being truthful.

That is his heartfelt feelings. He feels so bad for the loss of life. And he feels bad that people are taking his music or his social postings and making it into violence. That is all promotion. That is not a symbol of go hurt some body. So I hope I've answered your question directly. But how I felt, I've heard that. But they're great lawyers. Okay. I think we got a good semblance here. So just to wrap up,

young thug, he basically left Fulton County jail later that night. He was released. His lawyers drove him out. I don't know what he did afterwards, but I could imagine he went home to his family. he had 48 hours to evacuate Atlanta and that meant he could not be in the metro Atlanta region which means he pretty much would not be allowed in a lot of Georgia and it's a good thing for him you know you know as we talk about and this is why like I'm confused by like certain fans saying you say you'll be found guilty it's like at a certain point it's not about

being found guilty taking a plea or being found innocent It's about are you locked up or you not? And young Doug could say tonight and last night, he spent his night on hopefully a nice soft, temperate bed instead of some cold concrete slab with a very thin mattress, right? So he took the best of a situation that, you know, he could have did a bigger gamble by taking it into the jury box, but I think he took the right choice right here.

Brian Steele fought tirelessly and endlessly. And when he said initially, he was going to fight with every drop of blood in his body to make sure that Jeffrey Williams does not go down for this. And yes, he was facing pretty much the rest of his life damn there. In prison, this lawyer did an amazing job. Of course, three years or two and a half years of him being incarcerated, two and three quarters, it seems, is a very long. time, but at least he gets to, you know, enjoy his current time, not in jail. Now, here's

the thing. We do have to be very clear. He is still under the control of the Georgia State Probation Board or however they call their thing there. He will be tested for drugs frequently. He will be required to do community service. He will be required to do concert, benefit concerts. he will be prohibited from continuing to rap about gang and other type of destructive means of sorts. Now, that's going to be very iffy. You know, when they say, like, what constitutes as that? Suppose he's just making, even though they argue this in court,

hyperbolic, you know, music about maybe a character or something like that. He could never rap about violence, or is it, particular type of violence, gang violence, maybe specific threats that they could actually map to someone. That's going to be very tricky how they kind of police, but I think Young Thug is going to try as best to try to keep up with this. Now, this is what I personally believe. It's going to be incredibly hard.

15 years on probation just sounds like, whoa. Now, some people believe that young Thug would have probably been better off by taking a five-year sentence and just not having probation. Why? if these people feel embarrassed by how you handle them in court, they're incentivized to try to make your life health and try to get you to violate that they could get you on some backdated 20 years. There's 20 years backloaded.

So if he fails probation anytime in the next 15 years, he will instantly, now obviously it's not going to be after the first violation. We see how that goes a lot of times he'll do a bunch of hearings. But ultimately, that will result in a 20-year, prison sentence that could include if someone around him is called with a gun if he's called with a gun if he fails drug testing or fails to do certain things with probation in terms of like speaking to the kids or these presentations they call it or even community service that could violate in terms of his probation and could trigger the 20-year sentence

which again you know a lot of people especially ones that are on probation say it's hard to really deal with these stipulations they basically say you can't can't be around anybody who you've been friends with for a very long time because all those guys are gang members and felons and all those guys indulged in certain things that, again, they have not prohibited you from doing. So we'll see how it goes. But of course, today and for the foreseeable future, Young Thug is probably going to be celebrating his freedom and celebrating his new shot at life and hope that he doesn't get caught back up in it because, yes, there's a 20-year sentence that's being held over his head.

And this is where we even get to, in particular, to, like, saving the young boy situation, right? Young boy had a 10-year suspended sentence, and, you know, he got a bunch of cases and charges that were ultimately going to trigger it, but ultimately, he seemed like he's resolved everything without doing a long bid. And Young boy should be out next year or the year after. you should be out soon. I think about like 18 months is like the counter right now. 18 months or it might be like 16 months, but nothing over 24, so he should be out in less than two years.

So we'll see. Young boy will be back soon. It appears that Jeffrey Williams, he's not going to be free. And man, good for him, bro. Good for him, you know. That's another thing that, you know, fans trying to like, this ain't a who's right competition. First of all, y'all fans wouldn't give a fuck

if a nigga murdered your mom, so it doesn't matter. The justice system here and for everybody watching this, let me tell you this. And for entertainers, save your money because when trouble comes for you, that's the only thing that could save you. And what saved young thug here is his money. Let's be honest,

even though I would say his fame helped put him in this. So his fame put him in some trouble because the mere fact that you're posting something that I could have killed you that goes so viral, every blog in America picks it up, that then becomes evidence in your own. case your fame and anything you do or subliminally do become so overt that doesn't help him. But the fact that he assembled one of the best legal teams in Atlanta who was down to,

you heard what Brian Steele said, we wanted to go to, we wanted to go to trial. And we wouldn't not go to trial. We wanted to go to the verdict with this because they were really confident. And also they knew that even if he blew trial, you would probably even get up. a sympathetic sentence, even though that was going to be long. But then they were going to get it reversed anyway. But that's what happens when you have the legal means to go at the state where, you know, if you don't got money and you're getting represented by some public defender

or some attorney who's just knowing, they told you they could represent you for 15 bans, and now this is taking over a year of their time and they've got to be in court for a year straight, they're going to tell you we need more money or they're going to like come to you with a plea saying, we can't do better than this. Why? Your pockets ain't long enough to keep up with the government, and the government got all day. Because the government using taxpayer money.

Young Thug, I think, without him in this case, everybody gets railroaded. If you notice, and we watched the case primarily for a long time, Brian Steele, even though he only represented Thug, not the other co-defendants, they knew that's, young Thug got the deep pockets, let his lawyer do the majority of the research and the majority of this and really take the state to task. definitely did it. So, um, congratulations

to everyone. We've seen, uh, people were, because my next guess we'll get to it. People were very ecstatic. Even people saying, yo, Mariah the scientists, they're saying Mariah the scientist is, you know, that's his, one of his girlfriends, uh, I don't know how many you got, but, uh, they're like,

you, she was celebrating. Listen to this. Okay. So she was happy. And then, um, she even gave a little speech about that at her show. She basically said, fuck you to the doubters and haters, uh, she claims. that didn't think that her, you know, her husband or her boyfriend will come home. This is what she said.

I want to thank you for life, life and love. I want to thank for our family and our friends. I want to thank you for gender in our relationship. I'm safe. Every day. All them jail visits they had, we all remember this, right? Mariah the scientist, young thug. jail call you know yeah she was on it there he cut it to go like to be shaped downward like this

you see what i'm saying so it go like in and then it go down they're pretty big i got to see him with you i got to see him with you with you i was supporting me there was people who was telling me i would never see him again oh you got to switch it up and some people have said that she's dropping off tour supposedly to go spend some time with him good for her and good for him good for both of them Yeah, Mariah's scientist. She was with Yadi before. She used to be like Yadi's girl.

And then she got with Thug. But yeah, she's been holding down. I can't, I can't, I can't lie. She's been holding them down. I've seen a couple of like little side chicks, you know, the side chicks trying to pop up. Hey, listen, news flash to all young thug side chicks. Y'all time ain't yet.

The first 60 days is only for Wi-Fi. All right? Y'all side chicks after the first three months, maybe I could check the temperature to see if you're still on the roster, okay? But for the first 60 days, it's only for Mariah, okay? So I've seen two side checks keep, they kept posting free thug. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, we don't care about you right now. This Mariah time, we've seen the jail calls.

We've seen her picture on the jail wall. She's been holding it down. Let her get her thing. You feel what I'm saying? And she deserves it all. You know what I mean? Like, shit. You know, I don't think she got no side niggins.

So I think she's been celibate for, what is it? How long have you been locked up for two and a half years? She'd been celibate for two and a half years holding that cudd for, for, for, for, for thug. Oh, man, good for them, man. Hopefully they have some kids in. Hopefully, you know, young thug stays out of trouble. That's going to be the big thing. You have to stay out of trouble.

You got to start changing your surroundings, changing the amount that you consume drugs. Young thug seemingly used to be very intoxicated or really just under the influence of whatever, he has to learn how to cope with that and not have to do these drugs, move a little bit different, get away from certain surroundings, and hopefully he could find another vice, right? He was always a hard worker, but, you know, people have their own vices, hopefully he can find legal ones and he can stay free. So salute to Thug, salute to Mariah the scientists, and also salute to all the fans who are

very excited that they got their favorite artists back out, of course, like his music too, and condoneses to the people who felt like their loved ones may have been lost, shot, hurt. Because of Young Thug, I hope you find some solace in, you know, your mourning process. And hope everybody could think that maybe justice, you know, was had here or attempted to have, right? This is what it is.
