The father of rapper Young thug says he will fight to have his son freed from jail.
“I think my son has been unfairly linked to a lot of things,” Jeffrey Williams Jr said. “But it’s up to us to prove it. I’m gonna fight for him to the end. I’m his father. That’s what I do.”
Young Thug has been hit with a litany of charges.
Prosecutors called Thugger’s YSL crew “a criminal street gang that started in late 2012” in Atlanta, the indictment says. YSL is affiliated with the national Bloods gang, officials said.
Charges include “Preserving, protecting and enhancing the reputation, power and territory of the enterprise through acts of racketeering activity including murder, assault and threats of violence.”
“I want any parent that has lost a child to the street violence, any parent that wants to join in marching on street violence, because these are our kids. These are our kids out here. That’s been misled,” Thugger’s father said.
