The Word 'Thug' Means What, Now? Young Thug's Lawyer Raises Eyebrows with Creative Defense of Client

We all know how popular it is to dramatically change the meaning of common words to try and fit a narrative, but even this is astonishingly bad.

Jeffery Williams, also known as Young Thug, is currently on trial for racketeering and gang conspiracy, and his lawyer whipped out one heck of a creative defense.

'Much about the case — which seeks to answer whether one of the most famous and influential rappers of his time was also spearheading a violent criminal enterprise — could be described as epic, including its scope, with alleged crimes from 2015 to 2022; its effect on rap music and the city that remains one of the genre’s centers for innovation; and its entanglement with the potential legal fate of former President Donald J. Trump.'

With a case that high profile, you gotta take some risks.

now THAT’s lawyering lmao https://t.co/88X4ohuZZZ
