Young Thug Attorney in RICO Case Says THUG Means “Truly Humbled Under God”

Young Thug said what gang? He’s a man of God doing good for his community and his loved ones.

Check out the video below of his attorney Brian Steel explaining what the moniker “THUG” means as it relates to Young Thug’s stage name. He also claims the rapper is a studio gangster who did not live out his raps. According to Steel, “Pushing P” stands for “Pushing Positivity”.

“He is not running a criminal enterprise on Cleveland Avenue to gather money and power,” Steel says, arguing that by 2014, the rapper, whose legal name is Jeffery Williams, was a superstar who wouldn’t have had anything to gain and everything to lose by running on the street. “He is not sitting there telling people to kill people. He doesn’t need their money. He’s worth tens of millions of dollars.”

Jeffery Lamar Williams, is charged with violating Georgia’s anti-racketeering and gang laws, among other things. He was indicted last year along with more than two dozen other people, five of whom are set to stand trial with him.
