Brian Steel is asking Stephens to read a number of Instagram messages on cross.

Steel is using Slug to introduce the evidence (instagram group chats) that when Thug said “24M on a n** head” he was talking about Uzis forehead diamond

Steel is focusing on a message from Thug that said “YSL rule the rule kid. 24m on a nigga head.”

Prosecutors have used this message to suggest gang activity but in full context it seems to be about the diamond implant Uzi had implanted in his head.

this fella looks old and young at the same time

He's 30 years old

Dude looked like prison aged him 30+ years lol

Slug says once Thug got big, he left the Cleveland avenue area and offered Slug jobs around his tours and “encouraged him to stop selling d****”

Slug says he didn’t wanna do hard work any rejected the opportunity. He “wanted instant money”. Thug was offering work, not money.

Steel ends the day by having Slug admit he didn’t benefit at all from “founding YSL”. He built nothing with Thug. He rejected the LEGAL employment opportunities Thug presented him with, but Thug never stopped presenting him with opportunities.

I woulda guessed like mid to late 30s but a youngish face

Slug and Steel discussed this social media post.

The state claims this is a picture of Young Thug flashing a bloods sign.

Slug testifies that Young Thug is making a "Pushin P" sign, to accompany the song him and Gunna dropped called "Pushin P".

They then played the entire Pushin P music video in open court.

Slug reveals that he was mad at Thug when he dropped the song mentioning Slug robbed women, because he felt like Thug was teasing him for his neighborhood reputation of robbing women.

He was also mad at Thug because he felt that Thug was taking credit for crimes Slug did.

Steel really focuses on the point that Thug was rapping about things he didn't do, to gain followers and reputation and portray a "gangster image".

Steel is using Slug to testify that Thug and Donovan Thomas aka Nut were friendly before his death.

Slug testifies that Thug would rent cars for people all the time, and would even let people drive his personal cars.

"He has a drawer full of car keys at his house, I don't even ask I just take the keys if i wanted to drive something"

Someone went into the zoom feed & yelled “free thug! Mistrial!”

Tomorrow is a half day.

They plan to start at around 9:30am EST.
