Young Thug is apparently living good in jail. He has snacks on every table, slippers, and a robe. It’s like a “dorm”.




Business Is Business will be Thug’s first album since 2021’s Punk, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and earned 90,000 equivalent album units. The 20-track set included a star-studded guest list, including A$AP Rocky, J. Cole, Doja Cat, Drake, Future, Gunna, Juice WRLD, Post Malone, Mac Miller, Nate Ruess, and Travis Scott. Business Is Business will also serve as Thug’s first body of work since being indicted in May as part of a sweeping gang case against dozens of members of Thug’s YSL crew. After pleading guilty to a single racketeering conspiracy charge in the case last December, Gunna was released from jail while Thug remains incarcerated over charges that include allegations of murder, carjacking, armed robbery, drug dealing and illegal firearm possession over the past decade. 


“While I have agreed to always be truthful, I want to make it perfectly clear that I have NOT made any statements, have NOT been interviewed, have NOT cooperated, have NOT agreed to testify or be a witness for or against any party in the case and have absolutely NO intention of being involved in the trial process in any way,” Gunna wrote in a statement after his release last December.


Gunna also recently shared his first album since their arrest — a collection of 15 songs with no features titled “A Gift & a Curse” — though he was released from jail in December after pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy.


Thug and other alleged members of the Young Slime Life gang — which is similar to the name of Young Thug’s independent label, Young Stoner Life — were charged with a multitude of crimes including charges of murder, drug and gun possession, witness intimidation, carjacking, robbery, theft and drug dealing. The indictment included 28 total defendants affiliated with YSL, and charged them with 56 counts related to gang activity and racketeering; the indictment alleged that Gunna committed felonies including receiving stolen property and drug possession with intent to distribute.
