The ruling in Young Thug's YSL RICO case was heard all around the world last night. Ye took some time out from his DROAM planning to repost the update to his Instagram Stories and Kid Cudi thanked God after seeing the news. Nicki Minaj, who's song with Thugger "Anybody" was referenced throughout the trial, extended a warm message to the freed rapper.
"Welcome home @thuggerthugger1," she wrote in her Instagram Stories. "Don't leave again, the ppl need you. The game missed you. So happy for you, your children, family & fans."
His girlfriend Mariah The Scientist was extremely grateful to Judge Paige Whitaker and everyone involved with Young Thug's release. She expressed her gratitude in a statement to WSB-TV and alluded to the hardships the couple endured throughout Thug's legal battle.
"It's been a long time coming and it has been really hard," she said on stage. “There was people telling me I would never see him again. There was people who was laughing at me and laughing at the situation making fun of us.”
Young Thug may be free, but he's still got a long way to go before he's completely out of the woods. As part of his probation, the rapper, born Jeffrey Williams, must stay away from metro Atlanta excluding required visits and family functions. He must also complete 100 hours of community service each year, host anti-gang programming four times a year, and stay away from all gang activity. He's also barred from contacting any of his codefendants except his brother Unfoonk and Gunna.
Wunna hasn't publicly reacted just yet, but their reunion is bound to happen soon enough. In the meantime, see more reactions from The Breakfast Club, T.I., Metro Boomin, Quavo, Jay Electronica, Sexyy Red and more below.
