It takes a special kind of stupid to go to jail as a multi-millionaire musician, but that’s where Atlanta rapper Young Thug finds himself after being hit with several RICO charges including murder, attempted murder, bribery, selling drugs, hiring hitmen to murder people, and lots more legally and morally suspect activity.

Turns out he’s even more stupid than anyone thought though, because Young Thug and his co-defendant Kahlieff Adams have just been busted conducting a hand-to-hand exchange of a Percocet pill in court as jury selection was taking place:

Not only were they immediately clocked by a deputy who was standing right there, but it was (obviously) also caught on camera. What a pair of idiots! The deputy immediately confiscated the pill and brought the incident to the judge’s attention. Funnily enough, Young Thug’s lawyer says his client “did not know” what was being handed to him and basically blamed it all on his co-defendant:

“His side is the truth. The reality is [Young Thug] had nothing to do with what went on in the courtroom on yesterday. One of the codefendants on his way to the restroom attempted to pass something to [Young Thug] who immediately turned it over to the deputy. He did not know. We don’t know what it is, did not know. It was turned over to a deputy right away.”

Not the most convincing argument in the world, but I guess they had to come up with something. And all this after already releasing tracks saying things like “fxck the judge” and “fxck the police”… while under investigation! You couldn’t make it up.

Well anyway, I guess that’s the brain of a guy who can’t even be bothered to turn up to his own video shoot. The director had a brilliant plan to film something in his absence though:
