Young Thug asked if he had ‘an issue’ with Rich Homie Quan during RICO trial days before rapper’s death

Rich Homie Quan’s name was brought up during Young Thug’s YSL RICO trial on Tuesday, September 3, just two days before the rapper’s sudden death .

When star witness YSL Woody, whose real name is Kenneth Copeland, took the stand, the prosecution asked him if Young Thug, 33, had a problem with Rich Homie Quan, 33, “bringing members of his gang to his apartment.”

The question prompted YSL Woody to ask Young Thug directly: “Thug, did you have an issue with Rich Homie?” The incarcerated rapper appeared taken aback by the interrogation and laughed off the question as the prosecution redirected the inquiry to YSL Woody.
