Young Thug Delivers an Uplifting Message to Law Students: ‘We Need Y’all’
On October 31, 2024, Young Thug accepted a plea deal in his YSL RICO case, resulting in his release from jail with a sentence of time served and 15 years of probation.
As part of his probation, he is required to perform community service, including speaking engagements with students. In early November, during an appearance by his attorney, Brian Steel, at Emory University School of Law, Young Thug addressed the students via FaceTime.
He emphasized the importance of their future roles as lawyers, stating, "We need y'all."
Following his release, Young Thug was seen collaborating with T.I., leading to speculation about potential probation violations due to T.I.'s status as a convicted felon.
However, legal experts clarified that his probation terms prohibit association with "members or associates of a street gang," not necessarily convicted felons.
These developments mark significant milestones in Young Thug's legal journey and his efforts to contribute positively to the community post-release.
