Young Thug Cries Over 'Dungeon-Like' Jail Cell, Begs Judge To Release Him On Bond After Gang-Related Bust
Young Thug is whining about the conditions of his jail cell and the food the facility is providing after his gang-related arrest. The 30-year-old rapper made it clear that he wants out from behind bars ASAP.
