Young Thug Tries to Charm His Way Out of a Traffic Ticket in 2021 Body Cam Footage
On Saturday (Feb. 24), YouTube channel Raq Rarest, which showcases arrest videos of your favorite rappers, posted dated body cam footage from Young Thug’s traffic stop on Jan. 11, 2021. In the clip, which can be viewed below, Thugger is humorously trying to avoid a traffic ticket after he was stopped for speeding in Atlanta. The traffic cop informs Thug that he almost clipped his patrol car and clocked him speeding over 100 miles per hour.
Thug, who’s currently on trial for violating the RICO Act, is begging the cop not to give him a ticket. The YSL leader explains to the officer that he just got his driver’s license back, and he’s worried he’ll lose it again if he gets another citation. The “Pushin P” rapper then offers to do push-ups or have a foot race with the officer.
“How about I do 100 push-ups?” Thug inquired, but the officer swiftly declined it. Undeterred, Thug suggested a foot race. “Alright, let’s race. Let’s race, and if I beat you, no ticket. If you beat me, $2,000,” he offered.
No dice.
After some back and forth, Young Thug couldn’t convince the officer not to give him a ticket.
