Young Thug's currently dealing with some serious legal trouble. The rapper turned himself to authorities yesterday on several felony drug charges after a warrant was issued for his arrest. Unfortunately, it was reported earlier today that the prosecutors on the case are fighting to have him held without bond. Now, fellow Atlanta rapper Yung Bans has come up with a method to protest Thugger's recent incarceration.

Yung Bans is vowing to maintain sex-free until Young Thug is released from prison and he encourages his fans to do the same. The rapper took to Twitter to announce his plans of practicing celibacy until Young Thug is free.

"Until they free SEX Im not having sexual intercourse." He declared on Twitter, "join me in this protest so they can free the goat and we make the world a better place for everyone seriously!!"

Diplo and Thug's engineer, Alex Tumay have both responded to the tweet. Diplo announced that he will join in on the project while Tumay simply said, "wow king."

Aside from protesting Thug's recent arrest, fans are still waiting for his album, On The Rvn. The rapper recently shared the features that are expected on the project. On The Rvn is expected to feature Elton John, Jaden Smith, 6lack and T-Shyne. Although the project was supposed to drop yesterday, Tumay revealed that clearance issues are what's getting in the way of the project's release.
