Thugger's attorneys say he's struggling with feeling sleep deprived and malnourished as of late.

The long-spanning YSL RICO trial continues to be plagued with problems, most recently as a result of Young Thug's health. For some time now, the embattled rapper's attorneys have been pleading with judges to give their client bond as his well-being behind bars continues to suffer. Unfortunately for Thugger, their fourth attempt was recently denied. This took place shortly before the Atlanta native was taken to hospital earlier this week, on Thursday (May 11). After an evaluation, he was able to leave. However, new reports reveal that the next day, Jeffrey Williams returned for more medical care.

As 11Alive reports, it remains unclear if the So Much Fun hitmaker was once again given the all-clear on Friday, or if he remains in doctor's care. "I'm concerned about his well-being, his condition," one of Thug's lawyers, Keith Adams, told Judge Ural Glanville yesterday. Worry for the alleged gang member's sleep schedule, as well as his diet, have been high for Williams' legal team. They've even gone so far as to describe his condition as "languishing" amid lengthy legal proceedings. For the most part, he's apparently been restricted to eating things with minimal nutritional value, such as chocolate, chips, and other junk foods.

Young Thug Returns to the Hospital

While they actually began in January, nearly halfway through March, a jury has yet to be selected for the trial. As Thugger and his co-defendants remain behind bars awaiting their fate, others, like Gunna, have been able to walk free after taking plea deals. Even with all the accusations stacked against him, the "Hot" hitmaker and his attorneys have maintained his innocence.

Charges the 31-year-old is facing include conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act in 2013, as well as gang activity from 2018 and beyond. Do you think there's something suspicious happening behind Young Thug's multiple recent trips to the hospital?
