Young Thug's girlfriend, Karlae, has announced that that the "GOAT IS FREE."

Young Thug's legal situation has been looming over him for the past few weeks. After announcing his album, On The Run, it was announced that there was a felony warrant out for his arrest. Shortly after, he turned himself into the police. While reports initially stated that the prosecutors were trying to deny the rapper bond, it looks like their attempt is unsuccessful.

Young Thug's girlfriend, Karlae, has revealed that the rapper is out of jail. She took to Instagram to announce the news and thank Thug's attorney, Drew Findling, for getting the rapper out.

"BIG THANK YOU TO THESE AMAZING TWO MR BRIAN STEELE AND @drewfindling," she wrote. "THE GOAT IS FREE #GODISGOOD @thuggerthugger1 continue making history and touching the masses with your talent."

Thankfully, this means we're inching closer to the release of Young Thug's upcoming project, On The Run. While on Sunday, he said the album would drop in two days, that wasn't the case. However, Thug's engineer, Alex Tumay, revealed some details behind the delay. He explained that Thug already handed in the mixes for the project before he turned himself in. However, clearing samples on the project is what's taking time right now.

Prior to turning himself in, Young Thug was on the road with J. Cole on the "K.O.D" tour alongside Jaden Smith and EarthGang.
