US rapper Young Thug has yesterday night released from jail  after pleading guilty to multiple charges, including gang, drug, and gun offences.

His release concludes what has been the longest criminal trial in Georgia’s history.

The 33-year-old Grammy winner, whose real name is Jeffery Lamar Williams, had been held for over 900 days following his arrest in May 2022 on racketeering and gang-related charges.

Prosecutors initially alleged that his record label, Young Stoner Life Records, served as a front for an organised crime group connected to violent crime in Atlanta.
