Drake isn’t just speaking empty words; his support for Young Thug is as real as it gets. The rap titan has doubled down on his plea for the embattled artist’s release, making it clear that it’s not just for show.
Drizzy took to Instagram to post a selfie wearing apparel from Thugger’s Spider brand, with a caption that pointed to his financial contributions towards Young Thug’s legal defense. “I ain’t talking to talk man I really put [bread emoji] on the [briefcase emoji] 3 Jeff,” he stated.
The rapper’s advocacy extends beyond social media posts. Earlier this year, Drake criticized the former trial judge, Ural Glanville, following a leaked video of Young Thug in jail. Drake questioned the integrity of the trial, calling the exposure of Thug’s personal conversations a misuse of personal business.
In Drake’s view, “Somebody benefitted from this video even existing and that’s shameful.” He called the situation disgraceful and painted it as more of a social media spectacle than a criminal trial.
Drake’s support for Young Thug isn’t just talk. He referenced Thug’s plight in his 2022 song “Sticky.” Meanwhile, Young Thug’s situation remains dire; since May 2022, he has been behind bars following a significant RICO indictment against his record label, pegged as a criminal gang by prosecutors.
The legal proceedings have been tumultuous, with Young Thug repeatedly denied bond and facing serious charges ranging from racketeering to drug offenses. His legal team has called for a mistrial, highlighting issues like a key witness’s confession to lying.
With these unfolding developments, Drake remains steadfast. His consistent advocacy reflects a deeper commitment to supporting Young Thug beyond mere public statements.
Drake’s unwavering support for Young Thug transcends clout. With financial backing and vocal advocacy, he stands firm amidst the rapper’s legal battles, showcasing real loyalty.
