Young Thug Shares First Message Since Prison Release

On Thursday, Oct. 31, TSR reported that Thugger accepted a non-negotiated plea deal, pleading guilty to six counts in his YSL RICO case. Prosecutors had pushed for 25 years in prison with 20 years on probation. Instead, the judge sentenced him to 40 years, with five years in prison counted as time served, followed by 15 years of probation.

Late on Saturday, November 2, Thug hopped on X with a message that read, “Real plea deal jack!” Social media instantly assumed he was talking about his release.

That post stood solo until Sunday, November 3, when he jumped back on and wrote, “Wham let’s drop one on these rats peter.”

Young Thug may have just dropped his first official message since getting out, but it wasn’t his first time posting on X. Back on Oct. 18, while still locked up, the Atlanta emcee jumped on the platform, encouraging Drake, Future, and Metro Boomin to put an end to their beef. Future even reposted it, leading fans to believe he was down for the reconciliation.
