Young Thug’s father, Jeffery Williams Sr., had a bone to pick with rappers who all of a sudden want to hangout or record with his son.
The way he sees it, a lot of Atlanta-based artists refused to support Thug when he was in jail for more than 900 days during his RICO trial. But now they want to be around him.
“We got all these rappers and everybody trying to find Young Thug,” said Williams Sr. on the Nothing But the Truth Podcast. “They wanna talk to Young Thug, they wanna this, that and the other. Where your ass 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 … Now, you want to talk to him. You want to godd*mn put out these monkey-ass videos. All this for your personal gain.”
Williams Sr. then talked about someone who refused to support Thug at a YSL benefit event, and many assumed he was referring to T.I., who was seen in a video with him right after his release.
“I asked him to do an event on behalf of YSL, and I was told, ‘Let me get with my people and see if I can do that,'” Thug’s father explained. “But yet and still, I see you right there beside Young Thug. That’s when he needed the help. So, you know, we gotta stop with the fake.”
Do you think Williams Sr. was talking about Tip?
