On Nov. 9, Thugga's father Jeffery Williams Sr. was a guest on the Nothing But the Truth Podcast where he spoke about his son's recent release from jail after pleading guilty in the YSL RICO case and the attention Thug is getting from his rap counterparts.
"We got all these rappers and everybody trying to find Young Thug," Jeffrey Sr. said in the video below. "They wanna talk to Young Thug, they wanna this, that and the other. Where your a*s been for 29 months? Why y'all a*s 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."
He continued by calling out Atlanta artists for being fair-weather friends. "Now, you want to talk to him," Big Jeff added. "You want to goddamn put out these monkey-a*s 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? Where have y'all Atlanta artists been up until now?"
He brought up a particular story where he asked a rapper to perform at a YSL event.
"I 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,'" Big Jeff said. "But yet and still, I see you right there beside Young Thug. That's when he needed the help. So, you know, we gotta stop with the fake."
