Young Thug might be facing more legal problems.
According to WSBTV reporter Michael Seiden, the 31-year-old born Jeffery Lamar Williams is accused of making a hand-to-hand drug exchange during his ongoing RICO trial.
Seiden shared court surveillance footage of the alleged transfer between Thug and co-defendant Kahlieff Adams. Investigators say Thug was sitting next to his attorney when Adams approached him and shook his hand. It was at that moment Adams allegedly slipped Thug a Percocet.

Authorities say a deputy saw the transfer and immediately confronted Thug, who then handed the pill over. Deputies began searching Adams for any additional drugs. They claim the search yielded more Percocet as well as marijuana and tobacco, which were “wrapped in plastic and food seasonings to conceal the odor.” Officials claim Adams ingested some contraband in an attempt to conceal it. He was subsequently taken to the hospital.
When deputies searched Adams, they found him in possession of Percocet, marijuana and tobacco wrapped in plastic and food seasonings to conceal the odor of weed, according to investigators.
