Young Thug is clearing up what he says was his role in helping Lil Durk **** emble his legal team for the rapper's federal murder-for-hire trial.
On Wednesday, Thug took to X after comments from Loren LoRosa on The Breakfast Club pushed back against reports that he had financially contributed to Durk's defense. According to Thug, his support wasn't about giving Durk money. Instead, he says he connected his "brother" with his longtime attorney Brian Steel.
"N***a best friends on the stand saying he did serious s**t 'lying' and yall asking blogs who paid for lawyers lol if I didn't say he was my brother my lawyer wouldn't have even took the case," Thug wrote. "I sent Brian to get with him and take the case. Stop making me the bad guy and pray harder for him cause I am."

Steel famously represented Thug throughout the lengthy YSL RICO case in Atlanta. He has since joined Durk's defense team alongside prominent attorney Drew Findling.
