Young Thug‘s father has taken issue with Lil Baby dissing Gunna, telling him “he needs to shut the fuck up.”
Thug’s dad, Jeffrey Williams Sr., sat down for an interview with legal affairs journalist Infamous Sylvia to discuss the ongoing RICO trial against his son’s YSL collective.

When asked about Baby recently dissing Gunna for taking a plea deal in the case, Williams Sr. said: “He needs to shut the fuck up because he doesn’t know what’s going on. He’s going off what he heard.
“Ask Lil Baby: has he ever come to a court date? That’s what I want y’all to ask these goddamn rappers and these bloggers with this old snitch shit,” he added. “When have y’all went to a court date to support Slime, to support Jeffrey, to support Thug? However you wanna name him.”

“Go on their social media pages and say, ‘Why in the fuck haven’t you been to the courthouse to support your dude?’ And I guarantee you won’t get an answer. So that’s how I feel. Everybody that hasn’t been there needs to shut the fuck up about Gunna.”

Lil Baby appeared to diss Gunna during a stop on his It’s Only Us Tour. When their hit “Drip Too Hard” began playing through the venue’s speakers, Baby could be heard in a video saying: “Fuck the rats, turn this shit off.”
The 4PF honcho previously took a subliminal shot at his former collaborator in a song snippet that surfaced in June, rapping: “Pussy n-ggas taking pleas/ I know Slime ain’t happy.”

Gunna was released from jail last December after entering a Alford plea in the YSL RICO case, which means he maintains his innocence but recognizes that it’s in his best interest to plead guilty.
The rapper has faced widespread backlash for his decision, with many accusing him of snitching on Young Thug, who is currently on trial and faces over half a dozen charges.
This is not the first time that Thug’s dad has shown he has Gunna’s back. Earlier this year, Jeffrey Williams Sr. denied claims that the “fukumean” hitmaker provided information that could hurt Thug’s fight for freedom.
“I love Gunna. Let me try to help the attorney clarify that a little simpler. Gunna hasn’t done anything whatsoever that can hurt us on this case. Period,” he said during a previous interview with Infamous Sylvia.

Gunna also insisted that he did not snitch on Thug in a statement issued after his release from jail.
“While I have agreed to always be truthful, I want to make it perfectly clear that I have NOT made any statements, have NOT been interviewed, have NOT cooperated, have NOT agreed to testify or be a witness for or against any party in the case and have absolutely NO intention of being involved in the trial process in any way,” he said.
