Young Thug Jail Phone Call Leaks
The new video comes on the heels of video of a jail phone call between Young Thug and Mariah The Scientist leaking online last week. Drake called out the judge in the Young Thug YSL trial, Judge Ural Glanville, for the leak.
“This gotta be some form of jail misconduct,” Drake wrote in a post on his Instagram Story. “You gonna drag this talented man then not be able to control your employees using his personal business for their own gain. Somebody benefited from this video even existing and that’s shameful. Whole case is a wash. Just 3 the guy and let him come home and continue bringing light to Atlanta.”
