Rapper Young Thug has been all up and down the social media timelines lately thanks to a myriad of leaked audio of phone calls he had while spending time behind bars in relation to his 2022 RICO allegations. But while many have found profound levels of entertainment from those calls, it appears their joy may soon be cut off thanks to a new development.

As we previously told you, there have been at least four leaked phone calls stemming from the “Best Friend,” in addition to a two-hour conversation with police where he implicates his friend in a shootout (or snitching, according to many online).
In those calls, he talked about everyone from fellow rappers GloRilla, Gunna, J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar and more. Because of that and in some mysterious way, those conversations have found their way online through leaks and folks on social media have subsequently been having a field day with what’s all been revealed. But, as we also told you, the source of the “leaks” have yet to be revealed.
Now, it appears that Cobb County jail — where Thug was being held in Atlanta –has officially banned requests for all open records related to the rapper. As first reported by “The Breakfast Club” earlier in the week, those phone calls were being accessed through the Georgia Open Records Act, which allows people to petition for access to public records.
What makes this even more interesting is the fact that it looks like the “Go Crazy” rapper and his legal team may be the ones behind the ban on the calls.
According to a recent three-hour-long interview he did with Big Bank, Thug talked about his issue with the calls being leaked and said that they’d be making some moves to get them to stop.
“When the first few jail calls came out, my team got in touch with the Cobb County people and stopped all of it, like shut down the whole system,” Thug said at the time. “Now you can’t none of that sh*t. So what that tell you? Somebody been had it. They got it back then, and they just waited to release them.”
Well, now that it seems that he’s been successful, many who were using those calls as their entertainment are taking to social media to express their disdain.
“Not they canceled my show,” one user wrote on Instagram.
“We don’t care who released it, we care about what was said on them calls,” said another.
“The damage is already done, one user wrote.
Added another: “They wouldn’t have sh*t to release if he watched his mouth.”
Over on X/Twitter, other sentiments were expressed.
“All I learned from young thug in the last week is don’t be on the phone and don’t leave an audio message. You want to talk to me it’s going to be in person,” wrote one user.
“Young Thug finally got the rest of them phone calls blocked from public access after it cost him The Scientist,” another user said, referencing the rapper’s alleged girlfriend Mariah the Scientist.
“We won’t be having phone time w thug no more,” one other user joked with a broken heart emoji.
