The tragic reports come from Dolly White, one of Thugger's other sisters.

According to some Instagram posts from members of Young Thug's family, his older sister Angela Grier tragically passed away recently. Moreover, initial reports based themselves on Thug's sister Dolly White's Instagram page, where she reposted a picture of Grier previously shared by Lil Keed's mother. Furthermore, White captioned her picture with multiple heart-broken emojis and a crying face, and also shared some tender clips to her Instagram story. For example, she included a video of people lifting balloons into the air in honor of her. As of writing this article, details concerning her untimely loss are scarce and mostly unknown.

While Grier hasn't been as frequent in the headlines as some of the YSL rapper's other family members, she was one of many who continued to support and look out for him throughout his career and especially now during his legal woes. Such news is even harder to stomach considering the "Best Friend" MC is currently behind bars. According to many reports online, Grier had just visited Thugger in jail. While his family said that he's keeping his head up amid the process, this must be a tough and difficult time for them all.

RIP Young Thug's Sister Angela Grier

Still, her memory will live on through her loved ones as they continue to display unity and a determination to look positively towards the future. Recently, Dolly White gave fans an update on Young Thug's outlook, sharing a picture of him flexing his prison gains via a video call. Even though these updates aren't as consequential as ones from court, they uplift fans and give them another side to view the case from. There's not just an accused gang leader on trial with other codefendants, but also a friend, loved one, brother, father, and positive soul. Many videos emerged of Thug looking defeated in court, but just as many spread of his positive attitude through it all in the trial room.

Meanwhile, his true culpability and accountability for accused crimes remains to be seen. However, the family maintains that he will return home soon, and have consistently advocated for justice in this case. Hopefully, Thugger can see his family soon and they can all heal following this tragic loss. For more updates on Young Thug and his trial, stick around on HNHH.
Rest In Peace Angela Grier.
