Young Thug’s Sister Unpacks Meaning Behind Rapper’s Stage Name

Young Thug’s sister has taken a moment to break down how her brother got his stage name, and noted that his moniker doesn’t mean what people think it means.

Thug’s sister Dolly White reshared a tweet she’d written to her Instagram Story, which noted that “Thug” actually stands for “Truly Humble Under God.”

“For those who never knew why he named himself that for his stage name,” White wrote alongside the tweet.

White has been adamantly sharing her thoughts on the ongoing YSL RICO case, which currently has her rap superstar brother stuck behind bars in a Cobb County jail facing RICO charges until his trial starts in January.

Thugga’s sister most recently came to the defense of Gunna, demanding people stop calling him a snitch after the “Drip Harder” rapper agreed to a plea deal and was released from jail.

“Can y’all please stop saying then people write it and this and that? It’s not making anybody better or nothing good,” Thug’s sister said on IG Live. “Nothing that’s going on is helping my brother. So can y’all please stop that. If y’all love Gunna, then y’all give him support. Why the fuck y’all over there y’all tripping. It be the internet for me.”

Thugger was hit with additional charges earlier this month outside of his RICO case. He received misdemeanor charges for street racing, reckless driving and speeding. Thug is alleged to have driven a vehicle at 120 mph on Interstate 85 in May.

Thug’s attorney, Brian Steel, said the rapper is innocent of all of the charges and is a victim of the system. “As of two weeks ago, that case was being resolved with a seatbelt violation,” he said in a statement. “Today, now it’s indicted in the Fulton County Superior Court. He is being wronged by our system.”

However, Thugga was able to score a legal victory on December 16, when Fulton County Judge Ural Glanville sided with the Slime Season star and ruled that the evidence seized during a 2015 raid couldn’t be used against him in the upcoming trial.

Young Thug was arrested with Gunna and 26 others on racketeering charges related to his Young Slime Life label back in 2021, which prosecutors allege is a criminal street gang that claims affiliation with the Bloods.
