Lil Woody says he "didn't have a clue" what was going on.

Lil Woody recently reflected on the secret ex-parte meeting between Judge Ural Glanville, himself, and the prosecution during the YSL RICO trial for an interview with VladTV. The headline-grabbing meeting resulted in Young Thug's attorney being found in contempt and Glanville's eventual recusal.

"I don't have a clue," Woody admitted when asked about what went down. "I was lost man, I had never been to this side of the courthouse, I didn't know where I was going. N***a I was scared. I thought I could lose my life. I thought they would do some C.I.A. type sh*t to me." As for whether he was directly aware the meeting was illegal, Woody added: "I didn't have a clue what was going on. When I pleaded the fifth, I thought I was just gonna go to the jail and stay at the jail."

Woody then discussed Glanville finding Steel in contempt. He said: "When I was in the holding tank and I saw the sheriff bringing Brian Steel back there, it broke my heart. It broke my heart man. I looked at the lawyer. I didn't know what was going on, but the way he looked at me. He gave me a look that just like made me cry like, 'damn.' I knew that lawyer was in trouble just by the look that he gave me." From there, he described Steel's look as saying, "This is all your fault."
