News about Young Thug

Kevin Liles, an executive vice president at Warner Music Group, announced that he was leaving the record label conglomerate on Tuesday. The 56-year-old executive announced his news in an internal memo that he later shared on X (formerly Twitter). Liles, who rose to the upper echelons of the music industry after getting his start as a DJ, also announced that he would be leaving Warner's subsidiary record label 300 Elektra Entertainment.

Just hours before his sudden passing at 34, Rich Homie Quan announced he would be performing at Nick Cannon's music festival. The Atlanta rapper, who collaborated with Young Thug as Rich Gang, was found dead in his home on Thursday. His family announced his passing but has not disclosed the cause.  His girlfriend Amber Williams found him on the couch not breathing and without a heartbeat, according to the 911 call obtained by TMZ. He began to foam at the mouth when she moved him. 

The Atlanta-born star, real name Dequantes Devontay Lamar, died a month shy of his 35th birthday of a rumored drug overdose.

The latest twist in Young Thug's lengthy racketeering trial was his own defense lawyer getting thrown in jail for the next 10 weekends for refusing to tell the presiding judge how he heard about a privileged conversation. Brian Steel somehow learned about this conversation that was between Judge Ural Glanville, prosecutors and Kenneth Copeland, one of the state's star witnesses.

Antonio Brown has backed Donald Trump ahead of this year's Presidential election, with the former NFL star even offering to organize the inauguration ceremony. Brown also called on the 77-year-old billionaire to help free rapper Young Thug,  who is currently on trial on racketeering charges, along with other members of his rap group YSL. America will this November choose between Trump and incumbent Joe Biden in what promises to be one of the most polarizing and hotly-contested elections of all time.

In the Young Slime Life racketeering trial against Young Thug, Adrian Bean was summoned by the prosecution by the end on Tuesday. 'I'm so high right now,' he told the judge. I'm going to go to sleep.' Bean was hoping that Bean would be able to establish that Young Thug was at the scene of a drive-by shooting on September 11-2023. However, he hasn't provided any useful details in the investigation so far.

Atlanta Police announced on Friday that a counsel representing a plaintiff in rapper Young Thug's epic racketeering trial has now been arrested on gang charges. Nicole Fegan was arrested in Gwinnett County and taken to Fulton County on Friday and charged with 'participation in criminal street gang war participation and criminal solicitation for the offence of tampering with evidence,' the district attorney's office reported. The glamorous lawyer posted rapping videos on her social media pages and boasted about helping her clients get them off the hook.

Young Thug, a criminal trial in Atlanta, wore a white dress shirt with the words SEX Records: Truly Humble Under God in a court hearing on Monday. Young Thug, 32, whose real name is Jeffery Williams, wore a black tie to round out his ensemble, but did not disturb proceedings on the 15th day of the RICO trial, in which Young Thug's friend Trontavious 'Tick' Stephens died.

Prosecutors in Atlanta, Georgia, have opened Rapper Young Thug's racketeering trial, and prosecutors are using the artist's own songs against him. Jeffery Lamar Williams, 32, has been charged with co-founding a "criminal street group" under his Young Slime Life brand, culminating with murder, assault, drug trafficking, and robbery all contributing to the overarching charge. Racketeering - the same charge that Donald Trump faces - refers to obtaining a company unlawfully, running a business with unlawfully-derived funds, or using a corporation to breach the rules. Attorney Adriane Love of Fulton County told the jury that dozens of offences had been committed, leaving a "crater" that "sucked in the youth, innocence, and even the lives of some of the country's youngest citizens.' Young Thug's lyrics, she said, had 'bore a great deal to real life,' referring to the band's suspected murders.

Adraine Love, a Georgia state prosecutor, said the Grammy award winner obtained drugs, cars, and guns as his followers battled to gain adoration by murder, theft, and hijacking in a decade-long spree. Young Stoner Life was just a front for 'Young Slime Life,' a street gang associated with the LA-based Bloods,' she claimed, although the rapper was known to his followers as 'King Slime.' Young Thug, real name Jeffrey Williams, faces up to 20 years in prison for the same Fulton County team that is also suing ex-president Donald Trump under the same racketeering statutes. 'They created a crater in the middle of Fulton County's Cleveland Avenue neighborhood that sucked in the youth, the innocence, and even the lives of some of the county's youngest citizens,' Love said.

When Beyoncé appeared at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on Saturday night, the audience was completely mesmerized. The 41-year-old superstar can be seen smiling on stage in a series of stunning Instagram photos and videos posted on Sunday, as she clutched her microphone in front of a brilliant silver backdrop. The mother-of-three wore a black and white plaid gown with a dramatic thigh-high slit, statement earrings, and matching elbow-length gloves for her performance. As a wind machine gently brushed her hair back, her long golden tresses cascaded over her shoulders in bouncy curls. In addition, the 32-time Grammy winner took several behind-the-scenes shots from her Renaissance world tour stop, including one of her photographing a childhood snapshot.

During court hearings in the rapper's pending RICO lawsuit, a lawyer representing a member of rapper Young Thug's suspected Young Slime Life (YSL) used the term 'cap', a slang word that indicates dishonesty. Justin Hill, who is representing Damone 'Bali' Blalock in the criminal trial, was responding to a statement from the presiding judge in the case, which is being heard in Fulton County Superior Court in Atlanta.

If it isn't triggered by Beyoncé, the 2023 Grammys conversation seems to be just incomplete or willfully delusional. The mega-star is at the forefront of this year's nominations, totaling nine, but it's the story surrounding her appearance on the show (and this one in particular) that's the driving force throughout the season. Fans have been pining for a rematch after Adele's 25 beat out Bey's Lemonade at the 2017 show. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Grammy season, but it doesn't seem quite right. Bey's Renaissance is so much bigger than a pop album; it's a history lesson in Black and electronic music that doesn't sound like (and isn't) a party. Who wouldn’t be in the corner of an album like that?

Astonishing video footage has caught the moment a tense rapper Young Thug conducts a heroin experiment in court while sitting just feet away from prosecutors and bailiffs. In a dramatic court room surveillance video obtained by WSB-TV, the actor is seated next to his attorney when his co-defendant Khalieff Adams walked over and dropped something into his hand. Prosecutors suspect the two exchanged a Percocet pill in a lawsuit brought to Fulton County Court, Atlanta, on Thursday. Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffrey Lamar Williams, faces 62 charges relating to his membership in the criminal street gang Young Slime Life. If found guilty of the grammy award-winning 'This is America' rapper will face up to 20 years in prison.

Lil Keed's death has been attributed to natural causes as a result of eosinophilia in Los Angeles by medical officials. After reviewing the release of the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner's report, people announced the cause of death on Tuesday. On May 13, 2022, the experimental artist, who was associated with Young Thug's YSL Records, died after entering Burbank hospital as a result of stomach and back pain.

Since pleaded guilty to a racket conspiracy charge, Atlanta rapper Gunna is now a free man. According to TMZ, the Pushin P actor flashed a big smiling smile as he stepped out of Fulton County Jail and hugged a lady who was waiting outside. The Grammy Award-nominated rapper wasted no time in preparing for a Facetime chat with jeweler Elliot Eliantte, who then posted a snapshot of the call on his Instagram page. Gunna (born Sergio Giavanni Kitchens), who had been in prison since his detention in May, was one of 28 people arrested for unlawful racketeering involvement as part of a group called 'Young Slime Life' or 'Young Stoner Life (YSL).

According to a statement released by his lawyers, Rapper Gunna, who was detained along with fellow rapper Young Thug and more than 200 others, pleaded guilty to a racketeering conspiracy charge in Atlanta on Wednesday. According to TMZ, Gunna, 29, was released from the Fulton County Jail on Wednesday. Prosecutors in Fulton County obtained the sprawling 88-page indictment that said members of the Young Slime Life criminal street gang committed violent crimes in order to gain funds for the gang, advertise its name, and expand its territory.

Yung Kayo has had to contend with a few haymakers during his burgeoning career. The 18-year-old Northwest Washington, D.C.-bred artist's debut album DFTK (Down for the Kount) on Young Thug's YSL label received critical notice in February. His brand boss and mentor were arrested in Georgia on RICO charges three months later, as well as labelmate Gunna. Lil Keed, Kayo's codemate and friend, died from still unknown causes about a week later. And for a rapper whose moniker is a spelled-out version of the boxing word K.O., it was a lot to bear, even though it was a knockout. However, Kayo is unbeaten. "I'm more like Floyd [Mayweather] because he went 50 and 0 with the bob and weave, more defensive style," he says on MTV News. "Anyone like Mike Tyson may have been struck a few times." I am not getting hit” is a apt comparison for Kayo's ability to deal with conflict and grief, as well as how he maneuvers instrumentals. Kayo is at his best when he floats, then chooses natural times to strike and land a rapped jab. As he prepares to unleash Nineteen, Kayo hopes to weave all of his processing and preparation into a single sonic version of himself as the ultimate champion.

Beyoncé's Renaissance is more than an album title. On Tuesday (November 15), she received nine Grammy nominations, including top accolades of Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year, as well as a trio of R&B nods and two nominations in the dance/electronic fields. Kendrick Lamar follows her with eight noms, some of which are for his boundary-pushing film "The Heart Part 5." Adele also cleaned up, nabbing seven (alongside Brandi Carlile), and Harry Styles, Mary J. Blige, Future, DJ Khaled, and The-Dream all received six.

Kim Kardashian reposted La La Anthony's Instagram post about her visit to Riker's Island to assist and advise incarcerated men in jail. The reality star, 41, who has had experience with both men and women who have been detained, thanked her close friend for 'fighting this war' and being a source of 'inspiration.' After being arrested in May alongside fellow musician Young Thug, the actor said the day before, the rapper, Gunna, was being held in prison on gang-related charges with 'no evidence.'

In several posts shared to her Instagram Stories on Thursday, Kim Kardashian spoke out in favour of the imprisoned rapper Gunna. After being arrested in May with his regular collaborator Young Thug, 31, 31, and 26 others on gang-related charges, including murder and armed robbery, the 41-year-old reality star wrote in consecutive text messages that the 29-year-old hitman was being detained on 'no proof.' Kardashian, who has been working as an advocate for the wrongfully imprisoned in recent years, has described what she considered to be a threadbare lawsuit against Gunna (real name: Sergio Kitchens).

Beyonce has hit back at the band and I'm Too Sexy artist Right Said Fred this week, after the Grammy Award winner refused to offer permission to sample their 1991 hit for her song Alien Superstar. Right Said Fred's allegations were characterized as "erroneous, wildly dissimilar, and inaccurate" in a statement shared with MailOnline on Friday. Beyonce's staff told fans that Right Said Fred's publisher granted permission, and that the actors have 'co-writer credit' on the hit scene.

On Sunday evening, Ava Max attended the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards, which were hosted at the Prudential Center in New Jersey. During her time at the annual festival, the 28-year-old performer displayed a healthy amount of skin while rocking a form-revealing outfit. The singer appeared at the inaugural function in 2019, where she was first nominated for her first award.

Nicki Minaj wowed her trademark pink wig at the MTV Video Music Awards in Newark, New Jersey, performing a medley of her best hits, including songs Super Bass and Anaconda, while rocking her signature pink wig.
