With Young Thug Free From Jail, AEG Pushes Ahead With $5M Lawsuit Over Failed Touring Deal

Young Thug is still facing a years-old civil lawsuit from AEG accusing the rapper of violating an exclusive touring agreement and owing $5 million.

“So long as Mr. Williams does not violate the terms of his probation, his criminal proceedings should no longer affect the parties’ ability to complete discovery and motion practice, or to bring the case to trial.” But the lawsuit against Thug was put on indefinite hold in May 2022, when the rapper was arrested and charged in a sweeping racketeering indictment that claimed his YSL group was a violent gang that had wrought “havoc” on the Atlanta area for nearly a decade. For AEG’s attorneys, however, the end of Thug’s criminal case is just the start of the re-booted civil lawsuit – and also a chance to proceed on new accusations that the rapper has attempted to hide his copyrights.
