So when an old police interrogation tape surfaced showing him talking to detectives about PeeWee Roscoe, the streets turned on him fast. Here's the full story of Young Thug's rise, the YSL RICO case, and the fallout that followed. From the Jonesboro South projects to Vine, 1017 Thug, Barter 6 and number-one albums, Jeffery Lamar Williams became Atlanta's trap king and launched Young Stoner Life. Then in May 2022, he was named in a 56-count RICO indictment and spent 906 days in custody without a conviction, before entering a non-negotiated plea. After his release, an old interrogation video resurfaced. Leaked jail calls exposed what he really thought of Gunna, Pierre "P" Thomas, Gucci Mane and GloRilla. Then came a surprise win over his seized cars and cash, a new album, and a proposal to Mariah the Scientist. #YoungThug #YSL #hiphop
