Young Thug and Gunna were able to help free 30 inmates in Atlanta’s Fulton County Jail by posting their bond over the weekend.
On April 23, Thugger and Gunna went to the Fulton County Jail and paid the bail of 30 people who would have otherwise been held in custody before their court date. The rappers said that the men and women they assisted in getting released, who were mostly charged with minor offenses, lacked the financial means to do so.
“This is where we are from,” Young Thug told Atlanta’s WSB-TV. “We just woke up and went to the jail with the lawyer and, you know, DA’s and the prosecutors, you know, the bonding companies and just got as many people as we can out.”
Thug added, “If they did the crime, then they can do the time, then it’s all right. But it’s like you’re giving them a bond higher than what they stole.”
The Atlanta rappers did not reveal the cost of their spontaneous act of kindness, but they did say it would not be their last. “It feels so food to the point where you start feeling that’s why God put me here. He put me here to do this,” Thugger said.
The charitable gestures follow the release of YSL’s Slime Language 2 compilation album on April 23. On Sunday, the new album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
