Young Thug’s Lawyer Files Emergency Motion For Bond Hearing
Earlier this week, Young Thug and Gunna were arrested on what is now an 88-count indictment against 28 members of YSL.
After being taken into custody, Thugger and Gunna were both denied bond the following morning and are to remain in Fulton County Jail until further notice. However, Young Thug’s lawyer, Brian Steele, has since filed an emergency motion for a bond hearing as he states that the rapper’s living conditions are inhumane.

According to TMZ, Young Thug is being held in solitary confinement described as a “windowless cement compartment with only a bed and a toilet.” The outlet also reports that he has been given inedible food and isn’t allowed to have any human contact, exercise, or even shave.
Young Thug is being charged with conspiracy to violate the racketeer-influenced and corrupt organizations act (RICO) and participation in criminal street gang activity. However, following the raid on his home, the rapper has since been indicted on seven more felonies that include gun and drug possession charges.
