The lyrics in Gunna and Future’s 2022 hit “Pushin P,” which features Young Thug, are currently being used against Thug.
The song was mentioned during the second day of the YSL RICO trial.
Thug’s lawyer, Brian Steel, referenced the DS4Ever single during an opening statement on Tuesday, in which he told jurors of the phrase’s history and meaning.
Prosecutors previously argued that Thug was pictured in a mirror selfie holding up what they say is a Bloods sign. They have also used a lot of the Atlanta rapper’s creations against him.
“There’s nothing wrong with holding up a Bloods sign, but that’s not a Bloods sign. … That is a P,” Steel said. “Jeffery’s fingers are down. And what you’ll learn is that Jeffery just released with Sergio Kitchens, a performer known as Gunna, a song that is wildly popular around the globe. It’s called ‘Pushin P,’ and it’s positivity. It means any circumstance you’re in, if you think positively about something, you can make it through. You’re pushing positivity.”
Only time will tell how the rest of the trial will go.
