We knew Young Thug's YSL RICO case would be a slow-moving process, but we didn't think it'd be nearly a year and a half into his arrest before his trial began. After months of searching for the perfect jury candidates and watching the number of co-defendants dwindle, it's nearly time to begin the next steps in the court process. While we eagerly wait for that, @ThuggerDaily and @HipHopLivesNATL on Twitter shared a newly leaked video from the Atlanta-based artist's interrogation with police, which is two hours long and includes some seriously laughable moments.
Among clips already going viral is a moment between Jeffrey Williams and a detective asking him about gang violence mentioned throughout his lyrics. "Y'all are bloods, right?" he asks in a casual manner. "Lil Wayne, you, and Birdman?" After a moment of silence, the multi-talent responds in confusion, "A blood???" as if he couldn't understand the connection between him and the notorious gang. "That's what you say on the song," the investigator reminds Thugger.

Of course, song lyrics being evidence is one of the most controversial aspects of this trial. After letting out a laugh, Williams told the authorities, "Man, that is entertainment main!" Seeing as we haven't heard much from the "Oh U Went" artist directly all year, hearing his voice (especially in such good spirits) is refreshing. As the trial finally moves forward it won't be shocking if more leaks come out. We'll be sure to keep you posted on any that surface.
According to Mariah the Scientist, Young Thug's got a pretty major incentive waiting on the other side of his time behind bars. The R&B singer says she and her man absolutely love discussing their plans to exchange vows once he (hopefully) beats his YSL RICO charges.
