Young Thug's been facing a few legal issues in recent times. Last week, the rapper was charged with eight felonies for drug and gun possession and now, the grand jury has officially issued a felony warrant for his arrest.

Young Thug is currently a wanted man in the state of Georgia, TMZ reports. Following Thugger's indictment on drug charges, the grand jury issued a warrant for Young Thug's arrest in Dekalb County. The rapper was charged on several charges including possession and intent to distribute meth, hydrocodone, and weed. Additionally, he was also slapped with charges for possession of amphetamine, Alprazolam, two counts of codeine and a firearm. 

The felony charges Young Thug was slapped with stem from his arrest in September 2017. The rapper was pulled over last year for having tinted windows and was ultimately charged with marijuana possession.

Unfortunately, the rapper was also arrested last month after his birthday party/Slime Language launch party for possession of a concealed weapon. 

Aside from his legal troubles, Young Thug seems to have a follow-up to Slime Language. The rapper took to Twitter yesterday to announce his album On The Run which he said at the time (Sept. 9th) will drop in two days. Hopefully, he keeps to his word and he arrives with his own album. Keep your eyes peeled for more information on that.
