Young Thug pays respect to Fulton County Courthouse as a turning point in his life

On September 28, Young Thug turned the steps of the Fulton County Courthouse into an unexpected stage, putting on a free concert that mixed performance with personal reflection. Streamed live on Twitch, the event went beyond music. It was about reclaiming a place that has defined some of the hardest and most pivotal chapters of his life.

“You want be a lawyer. Want to be a D.A., you want to be on that side. You don’t want to be on the defendant’s side,” Thug told the audience.

His words echoed off the courthouse walls, the same ones tied to his widely followed racketeering case. It was both a warning to younger listeners and a moment of honesty about his own experience moving through the legal system.

For Thug, the courthouse has long carried a sense of fear, consequence, and resilience. Standing on its steps, he chose to redefine it as something else—a symbol of survival and growth.

“This place shaped me, man. This place changed my life,” he said, speaking with a mix of openness and defiance.

That statement made the courthouse more than scenery. It became part of the story itself, a presence that forced him to face responsibility and transformation.

“This is not the place to be, on the bad side,” he warned, speaking directly to younger fans who might mistake the street stories in his music for something glamorous.

For Thug, the performance was about reclaiming a space, turning struggle into strength. “This is the perfect place for me to perform because this place changed my life forever,” he said, his words filled with both pride and defiance.

Atlanta, a city where hip-hop culture and the justice system often intersect, witnessed a striking moment. A rap star performed on courthouse steps, reshaping personal trial into a shared moment of reflection. The free show came just after the release of his long-awaited album, Uy Scuti, which dropped on Friday.

For Young Thug, the night was more than just music. It was his way of showing that even under the weight of charges, he still owns his story and has the power to tell it.

Kevin McCall, best known for his work with Chris Brown in the early 2010s, has claimed that the singer still owes him money. During an appearance on the Back On Figg show on YouTube, he opened up about his current financial struggles and appealed to Brown for help.

"Why the f*ck I got an EBT card?" he asked, pulling the card out of his wallet. He then referenced the success of Chris Brown’s ongoing Breezy Bowl tour, adding, "Can I get $25K for them four songs I owe you?" As he continued speaking, McCall became emotional and broke into tears, emphasizing how difficult things have been financially.

The interview quickly spread online, with fans sharing mixed opinions. One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, "This is an entertainer/athlete who had a short career – as most do – and didn’t find/create something sustainable after it ended. That’s all. He did not get robbed; this is the normal way careers go." Another added, "He talking like the average person remembers who he was lmao."

While Chris Brown hasn’t publicly responded, Young Thug stepped in and offered support on social media. Posting on X, he wrote, "Kevin McCall hit me my n*a, I’ll give u the 25k u need, and i no CB would give it to u also bro he a real one. N**s is busy sometimes brada."

McCall has a history of collaborations with Brown. He was featured on Brown’s 2010 hit “Deuces” and appeared on his 2011 single “Strip.” He also released his own debut single “Naked” in 2012.

The situation unfolded just as Chris Brown wrapped up his Breezy Bowl XX tour. He started the European leg in June before launching the U.S. shows at the end of July. The tour came to a close on October 16 in New Orleans, with Summer Walker, Bryson Tiller, and Jhené Aiko joining him as special guests.
