Young Thug's prison Wi-Fi appears to be functioning well, and the imprisoned rapper is going above and above to help Kanye West realize his ambition of opening Yeezy stores globally.
Ye has been furious all week on Instagram, declaring war on GAP and adidas for stealing his Yeezy designs. Ye began plotting to open a Yeezy brick-and-mortar store in every state, beginning with Atlanta, and he began sending architects Claudio Silvestrin and John Pawson frantic sketch ideas.
Thugger jumped on Instagram from prison on Thursday to offer Ye 100 acres of Georgia land for free!!!
Clearly ecstatic, Ye began to celebrate the news with his close friend A$AP Bari... before contacting his ex-wife Kim Kardashian in the hopes that she would use her clemency powers to rescue the YSL Records boss.
It remains to be seen if Kim Kardashian can perform a miracle though. However, the triple setbacks have not dampened Thugger's sense of humor. Earlier in the week, he took to Twitter to ask famed Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps if he could swim across the ocean and even received a response.

His tweet read, "I'm talking with my roommate and we're wondering if you could swim 100 miles from the middle of the ocean back to shore." The message quickly became a topic of conversation on Twitter. Users began tweeting their comments, while some questioned how he could be tweeting from prison. Thug asked Phelps how long he believes this specific swim will last.
Michael quickly responded to Young Thug's inquiry, demonstrating his conviction in his ability to complete the challenging assignment. His tweet in response read, "Yeah. I think I could make it." Many commenters expressed their admiration for Michael's self-assurance.
Fans have labeled him the GOAT and have even asked for a live webcast of his performance. It remains to be seen if Kim Kardashian can express the same confidence in getting Young Thug out.
Jeffery Lamar Williams, 31, has sold over 2.5 million records as Young Thug and has been recognized as ""the most influential rapper of the 21st century" However, prosecutors in his hometown of Atlanta seem unimpressed.
Since his arrest on racketeering and gang-related allegations in May, Mr. Williams has been incarcerated. This month marks his third denial of bond. Prosecutors believe that Mr. Williams' rap label, Young Stoner Life (YSL) Records, is a cover for an organized crime gang responsible for "75 to 80 percent" of violent crime in the city.
Unfortunately, the lyrics that have won Mr. Williams countless fans are used as proof of his "crime" or evidence to make the case. "I never killed anybody but I got something to do with that body," he proclaims on the 2018 song "Anybody," for example. "I told them to shoot a hundred rounds."
Rap music listeners rarely recoil at the genre's penchant for violent themes, but rap musicians in American courtrooms have learned over the years that judges and jurors may. Over the past two decades, more than 500 criminal trials in the United States have utilized rap lyrics as evidence.
Now, a new law in the United States Congress seeks to end this practice, raising problems about free speech, artistic expression, and race. Rep. Hank Johnson, a black Democrat from Georgia, sponsored the Restoring Artistic Protections or Rap Act last month, arguing that the use of rap lyrics as criminal evidence is racist.
