'Not The Ritz-Carlton!' Young Thug's Jail Fires Back At Rapper's 'Dungeon' & 'Food' Complaints After Gang-Related Arrest
The jail Young Thug is being held in responded to the rapper's complaints about his "dungeon-like" cell and subpar food, simply stating, "It's not the Ritz-Carlton!"
The Cobb County Jail took so much offense to the 30-year-old rapper's allegations that authorities called WSB-TV and invited their camera crew inside the facility to take a look.
As RadarOnline.com reported, Young Thug's attorney filed an emergency motion, begging the judge to release the musician on a bond while citing the jail's crappy food and conditions.
An official showed the cameras inside one of the cells, which the rapper called "dungeon-like," and explained that there was no mattress at the moment because the space was unoccupied.
As Young Thug stated, there are no windows in the cell, but the officer insisted they run an "above-board" jail.
“The purpose of today is to let the community know that we’re not doing anything that we don’t want them to see,” Col. Temetris Atkins said on Wednesday. “We run an above-board jail and we want anybody and everybody to know that.”
He also claimed that law enforcement is doing Young Thug a favor by keeping him in solitary confinement due to his celebrity status.
“This is a jail, it is a detention center,” another official scoffed. “It’s not the Ritz-Carlton, so you have to recognize that.” Young Thug not only complained about the jail's "inhumane" conditions, but he also whined about his breakfast, lunch, and dinner options.
Radaronline.com obtained the facility's food menu, showing the This Is America Grammy winner's first dinner behind bars was sloppy joes, ranch pinto beans, carrots, and a baked roll.
Young Thug woke up to a cup and a half of corn grits, country gravy, potatoes, and fruit juice. Some of his other meals included bologna, salami and ham sandwiches, meatloaf with gravy, a crispy chicken patty and fries, and pancakes.
