In a recent interview conducted on Friday, September 15, Big Jeff, the father of Young Thug, shared his perspective on the ongoing RICO case involving his son. During a 3-hour livestream call with Infamous Sylvia, Big Jeff supports his son and characterizes the popular legal case as a “power show.”  

He vehemently denied any involvement of Young Thug in the alleged crimes, he remarked:

“I hate the young man lost his life (Donovan Thomas Jr.), but you gotta give credit to the people that took it, which is his own people, but you’re not gonna make my son his killer, by trying to paint a picture that he’s responsible for a lot of crime being done in the state of Georgia, not just Atlanta.”

According to Big Jeff, his son is being wrongfully targeted by prosecutors, particularly Fani Willis, the district attorney for Fulton County. Additionally, Jeff states that the matter with Fani Willis is “personal.”

Infamous Slyvia then asked if they had had any interactions with Willis before, where he stated:

“I paid her when she represented us in a case. When she represented YSL Mundo, I’m the one that had to pay her. She’s more of a YSL gang member than anybody she got on the indictment, because she was on the payroll.” 

 He even suggested that Thugger allegedly had relations with Willis as well, backing up a baseless allegation made by former President Donald Trump. In August 2023, Trump stated:

“I guess they say that she was after a certain gang and she ended up having an affair with the head of the gang or a gang member,” Trump said. “And this is a person that wants to indict me.”

Furthermore, Big Jeff claimed Willis was attempting to pin the murder of Donovan Thomas Jr., a young man who allegedly lost his life, on Young Thug.

Thug’s father went on to explain that two other individuals who were tried and convicted for Donovan’s murder were Donovan’s own friends. These individuals had guns matching the ballistics of the bullets recovered from the victim’s body. 

According to Jeff, they were caught near the area where the murder took place and eventually took plea deals. Big Jeff believes that these facts implicate multiple individuals in the crime, rather than just Young Thug.

Jeff also went the extra mile to clear rapper Gunna’s name in connection with the YSL RICO case, stating unequivocally:

“He hasn’t done anything to hurt us.” He added, “I love Gunna, let me try to help the attorney clarify that a little simpler. Gunna hasn’t done anything whatsoever that can hurt us on this case. Period.” 

The interview also revealed that Gunna’s attorney had advised him to accept a plea deal deeming it the morally right course of action.

In a loosely related story, singer Tory Lanez, known for the shooting incident involving Megan Thee Stallion, was recently sentenced to 10 years. Lanez rejected a 4-year plea deal and opted for a trial.
