Meek Mill responded to Donald Trump’s comments on Young Thug and the ongoing YSL RICO trial in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday. In doing so, he agreed with the former President about Thug receiving unfair treatment from the court system and called for his freedom. “Free Jeffrey. …. A loving man that put on a lot of people on in atl and created millions for a bunch of families from nothing!” Meek wrote.
Trump had discussed Thug’s legal situation during an interview with Adin Ross earlier in the day. Ross brought up the topic of Young Thug while speaking with Trump about various celebrities. He mentioned that district attorney Fani Willis has been treating the rapper unfairly. “I heard that actually,” Trump responded. “So, I’ve heard about him and I’ve heard he’s being treated very unfairly by her [Willis] and I would tell her she’s gotta treat these patriots that are being all– it’s terrible. They’re going after them.” He concluded: “He’s gotta be treated fairly.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Trump discussed the Democratic Party switching to run Kamala Harris against him in the upcoming election. He accused them of staging a coup against Joe Biden to do so. “I don’t know if I was brilliant or he [Biden] was horrible, maybe a combination of both … he’s done tremendous damage to our country. I actually think he’s smarter than her [Harris], and I think he’s a really not smart person. She was convenient, she was there. They have much better people. All the people were better than her. They would’ve run, but they didn’t want to go through the roadblock that was her.” Additionally, he discussed Kanye West and labeled the controversial rapper a “really nice guy” but admitted he’s a “complicated” person.
