From the call, Young Thug gave a speech encouraging law school students to become defense attorneys, saying “I think it’s very important to help people get out of their situations… Everyone make mistakes, we are human,” he shared. “And I feel like we need more people like Brian Steel on this earth.”
Steel was largely responsible for the rapper’s freedom, accepting the plea deal that brought him home. Initially facing up to 40 years in prison, the veteran attorney was able to lead Thug’s legal team through the longest criminal trial in Georgia history. He faces charges of gang activity, drug offenses and gun possession.
Social media has spoken out in support of Steel, who has fought courageously and meticulously for the Atlanta-based rapper.
Brian Steel just asked if he could stay with his client while he was detained on contempt charges so they could prepare for trial. This guy is so good that it’s hard to describe.

That boy Brian Steel is truly a stray dog. From this coercer, you can tell that he wants to defeat the state so much that he is so mad that he has to beg. His client is going home tonight and that’s not enough, that’s the lawyer you need. https://t.co/YXXIwSuKJP
