As his racketeering trial continues, American rapper Jeffrey Lamar Williams, professionally known as Young Thug, seemingly instructed his mother to stop crying while they were in court in a now circulating video.
Young Thug and over two dozen of his associates were apprehended by the police in 2022 and later named in a 56-count racketeering indictment. Recent reports state that his trial may last until 2027.
In a video taken during the trial, the YSL rapper appears to be looking over at the public gallery and gestures first to his eyes and then gestures for her to stop.
Young Thug went on to do it for a second time, this time nodding his head after gesturing to his eyes.
The rapper is currently incarcerated, with multiple attempts by his attorney to have him released on bail failing.
Reacting to the video, fans of the artiste called for his release and expressed that it must be hard for both him and his mother.
“Nothing worse than seeing momma cry that shit hurts in the soul 💔,” one fan wrote.
