Thugger's sister also posted a picture of a call with him, where he shows off his guns and seems in good spirits, as Metro confirmed.

Metro Boomin just took to Instagram to update fans on Young Thug, who's currently behind bars awaiting trial for RICO charges against him and the YSL crew. Moreover, the process in this case proved to be painstaking, arduous, and unpredictable in the months since the collective's May 2022 arrest. Still, many in the music industry, especially close collaborators, have shown Thug in particular a lot of support and well-wishes. As such, some of his closest friends like producer Metro Boomin sometimes get the chance to speak to Thug. Now, Metro provided fans with some light at the end of the tunnel.

"Talked to [spider emoji] today and just know when he touchdown the whole [earth emoji] gon feel it [bicep flex emoji]," he wrote. Furthermore, the producer spoke on their consistent communication on DJ Drama's The Streetz Iz Watching podcast. However, this update also comes after the case's jury selection process suffered multiple delays. Between everything going on in the trial, this seems to be one of the main obstacles the case's progress faces. Another important element to consider is information leaks and further wrongdoing from the YSL camp as they await their fate.

Regardless, the iconic producer believes that his good spirits are holding him together right now. "I be talking to him, he’s blessed man,” the HEROES & VILLAINS architect explained. “Anybody know Slime know he got a heart of gold but he got the heart of a warrior at the same time so like, he got his head up. And I pray for him every single day, even since everything first happened, I pray for him every single day.

“The day he got locked up he was supposed to be in the 'Superhero' video," Metro continued. "He had a whole scene set up where he was gonna say the tag and do some other shit. I remember talking to him on the FaceTime, he was like, ‘yeah I’m finna pull up.'" Hopefully Thug's spirits stay high as the media world bites their nails ahead of his future. In fact, Thugger's sister also posted a picture of a call with him. In the snapshot, which you can peep below, he flexes his muscles and puts on a big smile. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest from Metro Boomin and more updates on the YSL case and Young Thug.
