Early Years

Williams was a mischievous child who broke his teacher’s arm in sixth grade and spent four years in juvenile prison. He has six brothers and four sisters as siblings.

Career

Early in his career, Young Thug made a unique style and sound debut on the hip-hop world. He first became well-known in 2010 when he made cameos on songs like TruRoyal’s “She Can Go.” Young Thug’s “I Came from Nothing” mixtape series gained popularity by 2013, which helped him land a record deal with Gucci Mane’s 1017 Brick Squad Records label. “1017 Thug,” his fourth mixtape, was well-received by critics; “Picacho” was one of the standout tunes.

Due to the success of the mixtape, Complex named Young Thug one of the “25 New Rappers to Watch Out For.” After the release of his commercial debut single “Stoner” in October 2013, he attracted even more notice. Young Thug has stated his displeasure with musicians altering his work without authorization, despite the fact that there have been many unofficial remixes.

Young Thug’s connections and possible record deals in 2014 led to conjecture. He confirmed that he had signed a management deal with Birdman’s Rich Gang and remained with 1017 Brick Squad, despite having recorded songs with Kanye West and allegedly receiving a substantial offer from Future’s Freebandz label.

2014 saw Young Thug continue to establish his name through joint projects and releases, such as the Lil Wayne singles “Take Kare” and “Eww.” He became well-known after Rolling Stone dubbed him “hip-hop’s new crown prince” and Robert Christgau, a music critic, named his mixtape “Black Portland,” featuring Bloody Jay, one of the year’s greatest albums.

Young Thug’s career took off in the years that followed with the release of mixtapes like “Barter 6” and the “Slime Season” series. The well-received mixtapes “Slime Season” and “Slime Season 2” displayed his varied approach and prodigious output. In addition, he worked with musicians such as Kanye West and appeared on Calvin Harris’ song “Heatstroke.”

2016-present

The 2016 release of Young Thug’s mixtape “Jeffery” attracted notice due to its distinctive sound and cover art. He kept working with well-known musicians including Future, Drake, and Camila Cabello. His joint mixtape “Slime & B” with Chris Brown yielded the successful track “Go Crazy,” which went on to become his highest-charting single.

Young Thug’s first studio album, “So Much Fun,” was released in 2019. It debuted at the top of the US Billboard 200 chart. Collaborations on the album included J. Cole, Travis Scott, and Gunna, among other musicians. He kept putting out music, working with Travis Scott and Drake among others, and he also revealed the details of his upcoming second studio album, “Punk.”

Another significant achievement in Young Thug’s career was the release of “Punk” in October 2021. The album, which featured collaborations with well-known musicians like Travis Scott and Drake, demonstrated his artistic development. Young Thug’s third studio album, “Business is Business,” which he collaborated on with Drake, Travis Scott, and Lil Uzi Vert among others, was released in June 2023.

Since May 2022, Jeffrey has been facing more and more serious legal problems. He was charged with violating the Georgia RICO Act and 56 counts of criminal drug trafficking and firearm possession, and he was placed under remand at the Fulton County Jail without being granted bail. Williams and 27 other YSL members were taken into custody for offences related to gangs. Four times already, he has been denied bail, and while he was behind bars, Business Is Business was released.

Controversies and Legal Issues

Throughout his career, Young Thug has been involved in several legal issues and scandals. When members of the Bloods street gang opened fire on a Lil Wayne tour bus in April 2015, he was mentioned in a lawsuit. A lawsuit was launched by the bus driver against Birdman, Cash Money Records, and Young Thug.

Young Thug was sued in January 2017 after he signed a $55,000 contract and failed to show up for a concert at Sahlen’s Stadium. He has already faced legal action for missing a concert; in April 2016, a Texas production company had brought a complaint akin to this one.

After he was accused of punching a woman outside a pub in April 2017, Thug was cleared of all counts related to violence. Because there was insufficient proof and the incident happened amid a fight between the woman and Thug’s fiancée, Jerrika Karlae, the accusations were dropped.

A raid on Young Thug’s Sandy Springs, Georgia, home led to the dismissal of his gun and drug charges that same month. Initially, three counts of criminal guns possession were brought against him, along with felonies for possession of cocaine and marijuana. But his attorneys argued that the search was carried out without a warrant, leading to the dismissal of all charges save felony possession of marijuana.

2017-present

Young Thug was taken into custody in Brookhaven, Georgia in September 2017 on charges of possessing multiple drugs and a weapon. Three days later, he was released on bond. Following his 2017 arrest, he was charged again in September 2018 with possessing and intending to distribute meth, hydrocodone, marijuana, amphetamine, alprazolam, codeine, and a firearm.

Along with Gunna and other YSL associates, Young Thug was taken into custody in Atlanta on May 9, 2022, on allegations connected to gang activity. Fani Willis, the district attorney for Fulton County, filed a RICO Act indictment against him on several counts of possessing firearms and illegal drugs. He was arrested and held in Cobb County Jail after numerous bond denials.

Along with five other defendants, Young Thug’s state RICO criminal trial got underway on November 27, 2023. But after one of his co-defendants was brutally stabbed during a fight at the Fulton County Jail, the trial was rescheduled for January 2024. Starting on January 2, 2024, the trial went on.

Young Thug lost millions of dollars due to tour cancellations caused by COVID lockdowns and his incarceration. He earned $500,000 each gig at his peak, so the impact was substantial.

At present, he is housed at Fulton County Jail.

Personal Life

With four women, Young Thug is the father of six children—three sons and three daughters. He proposed to Jerrika Karlae in April 2015, however the two didn’t work out.

In February of 2018, Young Thug went by “SEX.”

A few months later, in 2021, Thug began dating singer Mariah the Scientist from Atlanta.

Awards and Achievements

Thug is a nominee for multiple prestigious awards, like as the MTV Video Music Awards and the BET Hip Hop Awards. In various categories, he has won awards from the American Music Awards, Grammy Awards, iHeartRadio Music Awards, and MTV Video Music Awards.
