Young Thug Wants Out of Lil Wayne Tour Bus Case
The Atlanta rapper is pushing back hard against a lawsuit tied to that 2015 shooting.

Young Thug is trying to get ahead of his legal troubles by seeking dismissal of a lawsuit connected to a tour bus shooting involving Lil Wayne back in 2015. This is one of those cases that's been hanging over the rap game for years, and Slime Season's looking to put it to bed.
The specifics of what exactly led to the shooting and who was involved have been tangled up in the courts for a minute. Young Thug's legal team is making the argument that he shouldn't be held liable—whether that's based on lack of evidence, jurisdiction issues, or something else entirely, but the fact is they're pushing for the case to get thrown out entirely.
It's worth noting that Thug's already had a mountain of legal heat to deal with over the years. Between RICO cases and various other charges, the man's been fighting in and out of courtrooms constantly. Getting this particular lawsuit dismissed would be one less thing to worry about.
The outcome could go either way at this point. What matters is whether the court finds enough ground to side with his defense or whether this thing keeps moving forward. Either way, it's another reminder that some of hip-hop's biggest beefs and conflicts from the 2010s are still playing out in the legal system today.
