Young Thug’s Father Is Annoyed by Rappers Around His Son: ‘Where Have Y’all Been for 29 Months?’
Young Thug‘s father, Jeffrey Williams, Sr., has been very vocal during his son’s legal battle and he doesn’t plan on stopping.
During a recent appearance on his Nothing But the Truth Podcast with Big Jeff, Williams, Sr. expressed concern with rappers wanting to be around his son all of a sudden. “We got all these rappers and everybody trying to find Young Thug,” he said. “They wanna talk to Young Thug, they wanna this, that and the other. Where your a– been for 29 months? Why y’all ass ain’t been out there protesting for his constitutional rights being violated? Y’all are the ones considered to be the influencers. Ain’t influencing sh—t.”

He added, “Now, you want to talk to him, you want to goddamn put out these monkey-ass videos, all this for your personal gain. It’s just for your personal gain, your personal hype, trying to make yourself relevant. Where have y’all been for 29 months? You could’ve been relevant, you could’ve been being seen fighting with him, fight with these guys. ‘Cause some of these guys are from y’all side of the town too. Some of these guys are probably related to some of y’all too. So, where y’all been? Where have y’all Atlanta artists been? Up until now? You could’ve been fightin’ for him. I don’t see why you deserve no brownie points for that sh—t.”
Big Jeff then continued by saying if those same rappers had been in trouble, his son would’ve shown support without the need to be seen. “Let’s make it make sense ’cause I guarantee you this,” he began. “If the shoe was on the other foot he’d have been fighting for you, he would have been fighting for you, hands down. Without trying to make a prop for his name so he could get some clout.”
He then set his sights on one of Thugger’s music industry mentors in T.I. who recently posted a video of him and Thug in the studio, saying that he approached the Atlanta legend about hosting an event at his Trap City Cafe.
“I went to T.I. over a year or so ago, when he opened up his restaurant and asked him to do an event on behalf of YSL,” Williams, Sr. revealed. “And I was told, ‘Let me get with my people and see if I can do that, But yet and still, I see you right there beside Young Thug. That’s when he needed the help, that’s when he needed your support. Let’s be real with this shit, make it make sense. So, you know, what side y’all playin’? Because I don’t get it.”
