In a shocking turn of events, a private jail phone call between Young Thug and Mariah The Scientist surfaced on social media, prompting Drake and Meek Mill to slam Fulton County officials. The leaked footage left many questioning the invasion of the couple’s privacy, and Drake didn’t hold back his criticism.
Taking to Instagram, Drake expressed his outrage, deeming it a “form of jail misconduct.” He called out Fulton County’s prison system, highlighting the questionable use of Young Thug’s personal business for someone else’s gain. “The whole case is a wash. Just free the guy and let him come home and continue bringing light to Atlanta,” Drake demanded.
Drake didn’t stop at social media posts; he directed a pointed message at the judge in Young Thug’s ongoing trial through his Instagram Stories. “S**t is disgraceful… Is this a criminal case or Atlanta social media promo, Ural Glanville?” he questioned.
Meek Mill, a fellow Hip Hop artist, echoed Drake’s concerns on Twitter, deeming it a “top-tier lawsuit.” He emphasized that personal calls should remain private and not be exposed to the public.
The controversy stems from Young Thug’s arrest in May 2022, along with several others from his YSL collective. Facing a 56-count Georgia RICO Act indictment, the rapper had previously addressed the situation during HOT 97’s Summer Jam, calling for support in signing the ‘Protect Black Art’ petition.
The invasion of privacy and the subsequent public outrage from Drake and Meek Mill raise crucial questions about the ethical boundaries surrounding incarcerated individuals’ personal lives.
