Drake and Meek Mill Slam County Officials After Young Thug's Jail Video Call Leaks
This gotta be some form of jail misconduct. [How are] you gonna drag this talented man and then not be able to control your employees using his personal business for their own gain? Somebody benefitted from this video even existing and that’s shameful. [The] whole case is a wash. Just [free] the guy and let him come home and continue bringing light to Atlanta.The clip, shared on January 24, portrayed Thug in conversation with his girlfriend, Mariah The Scientist. Drake, expressing his frustration on Instagram Stories, wrote, “S**t is disgraceful… Is this a criminal case or Atlanta social media promo, Ural Glanville?” Notably, Thug and Drake have collaborated on several tracks, including “Oh U Went,” “Ice Melts,” “Parade on Cleveland,” “D4L,” and “Sacrifices.””

Meek Mill also voiced his concerns on Twitter, deeming it a "top-tier lawsuit" and emphasizing that personal calls should not be leaked to the public. He had previously commented on the use of song lyrics in Thug’s trial, asserting that rappers may not be accountable for all the lyrics used in their songs.
It should be impossible to charge Thug and [YFN] Lucci for lyrics because in the studio, we all give each other lines and don’t remember who said what after a high night in the studio,” Meek noted. “I have done it with both of them… They both gave me lyrics [before]… We all do this!”
