Young Thug, who many regard as an influential figure in hip-hop, was released last night after pleading guilty to gang-related charges.
He spent years in custody and is set to serve 15 years on probation as part of the non-negotiated plea deal with the state.
‘Thugga’, as he is also popularly known, was indicted along with 28 of his gang members for a series of charges under Georgia’s racketeering laws.
Prosecutors had argued that the 33-year-old was the leader of the gang, known as YSL, which means Young Slime Life and used his record label as a front for criminal activities.
He has been released on strict conditions.
His long-term girlfriend, singer Mariah the Scientist, took a moment during her performance yesterday to express her excitement to see him.
