Young Thug’s lawyer, Brian Steel, recently swapped his courtroom suits for a trendy streetwear look, courtesy of the rapper himself. This fashionable transformation was unveiled just before the latest drop of Thug’s streetwear line, sparking playful responses from fans on social media.
In a striking Instagram post, Brian Steel appeared dressed head-to-toe in SP5DER hoodies and sweats. The shift from his usual formal attire drew attention and applause, with followers humorously suggesting his new ensemble shouted affiliation to Young Thug’s brand.
Fans flooded the comment section, calling Steel the “viral king” and praising Young Thug for getting his lawyer ‘dripped out’ in his streetwear. The post served as an advertisement for SP5DER’s Black Friday collection, which is available for purchase online.
Steel is famed for his role in the high-profile YSL RICO trial, where his legal prowess helped secure Young Thug’s release through a plea deal. The agreement included 15 years of probation, alongside community service commitments.
The rapper’s terms of probation have required him to engage in community service, notably through educational talks. One recent event at Emory University School of Law saw him address aspiring lawyers via FaceTime, where he shared motivational remarks with them.
“You gotta always look at it like they’re there to put us in prison and you guys are here to keep us from prison. Brian Steel is the best person possible,” Young Thug urged the audience, emphasizing the noble responsibilities of being a lawyer.
He continued encouragingly, “What side do you want to be on? You want to put people in prison for mistakes? Because everybody makes mistakes, they’re human.” His words resonated with those present, promoting the importance of legal professions.
Young Thug further added, “Everybody on this phone, in this classroom, you always need to know that you’re one mistake away.” His speech highlighted the impact lawyers like Brian Steel can have on individuals’ lives.
The rapper ended his discourse by saluting lawyers and doctors, stating these professions “actually help people” and imploring the law students to embrace their calling. “Anything you need from me, I’m here always. We need y’all,” he concluded.
Meanwhile, Young Thug is navigating new legal challenges amidst ongoing litigation over a $16 million publishing deal. Yet, his confidence in Steel remains steadfast, underscored by the light-hearted yet impactful fashion statement.
Young Thug’s gesture not only offered a glimpse into the bond with his lawyer but also reinforced the connection between fashion, community, and supporting those who stand by us. His streetwear line, SP5DER, thus becomes more than clothing—it’s an emblem of loyalty and resilience.
