More information is being shared about Young Thug and Kahlieff Adams's drug exchange in court. Yesterday (January 20), a video surfaced showing Adams walking past the rapper's table in court before slipping something into his hand. It was discovered to be a Percocet, and quickly, Adams was searched. It's reported that he also had marijuana and tobacco products. Adams is also said to have several additional counts added to his charges.
Later, Thug's attorney said the rapper didn't know anything about a drug deal in court and didn't orchestrate anything with Adams.

"Defendant Adams was taken to Grady Hospital after he appeared to ingest other items of contraband that he held on his person, in an effort to conceal the extent of his crimes within the courtroom," the District Attorneys' Office wrote in court documents.
A lawyer for another co-defendant also submitted paperwork of their own, and they want a full investigation into the incident. Their version of events slightly differs from what the D.A. shared.
"Shortly after Mr. Adams is taken to the back holding cells," they wrote. "While in the Courtroom the undersigned Attorney, his client, and several other individuals could hear loud banging and yelling coming from the holding area where Mr. Adams was being held. While the disturbance took place several officers ran into the courtroom and went into the holding area where Mr. Adams was being held."

The lawyer called the sound "distressing," and when Adams's attorney asked to check on her client, she was denied. Following the incident, "all Defendants were removed from the Court room."
"According to the State Mr. Adams was transported to Hospital because he allegedly ingested the contraband, however upon information and belief, Mr. Adams was also transported because he needed medical assistance after being tased several times by officers."
