Young Thug’s Dad Blasts Rappers For Not Supporting Son During Trial

"If the shoe was on the other foot... he would have been fighting for you."

Young Thug‘s father ain’t feeling rappers rushing to his son’s side after his release. Thugger’s dad, Jeffrey Williams, Sr., recently hopped on his Nothing But the Truth Podcast with Big Jeff, where he voiced his displeasure with seeing Atlanta rappers rush to make music with Thug but weren’t holding him down during the YSL trial.

“We got all these rappers and everybody trying to find Young Thug,” he expressed. “They wanna talk to Young Thug, they wanna this, that and the other. Where your a** been for 29 months? Why y’all a** ain’t been out there protesting for his constitutional rights being violated? Y’all are the ones considered to be the influencers. Ain’t influencing sh*t.”

“Now, you want to talk to him, you want to goddamn put out these monkey-a** videos, all this for your personal gain. It’s just for your personal gain, your personal hype, trying to make yourself relevant. Where have y’all been for 29 months? You could’ve been relevant, you could’ve been being seen fighting with him, fight with these guys. ‘Cause some of these guys are from y’all side of the town, too. Some of these guys are probably related to some of y’all too. So, where y’all been? Where have y’all Atlanta artists been? Up until now? You could’ve been fightin’ for him. I don’t see why you deserve no brownie points for that sh*t.”

Big Jeff continued his verbal takedown of these Atlanta rappers, asserting that Thugger would’ve been ready to ride for them if the roles had been reversed. The father then recalled a moment he met with T.I. during the height of the YSL trial. Jeffrey Sr. remembered asking if he could do something at his Trap City Cafe in homage to the Punk artist. And the response was less than satisfactory, according to Big Jeff.

“Let’s make it make sense ’cause I guarantee you this,” he added. “If the shoe was on the other foot he’d have been fighting for you, he would have been fighting for you, hands down. Without trying to make a prop for his name so he could get some clout.”

“I went to T.I. over a year or so ago, when he opened up his restaurant and asked him to do an event on behalf of YSL. And I was told, ‘Let me get with my people and see if I can do that.’ But yet and still, I see you right there beside Young Thug. That’s when he needed the help, that’s when he needed your support. Let’s be real with this sh*t, make it make sense. So, you know, what side y’all playin’? Because I don’t get it.”
