Young Thug’s 15-Year-Old Son Whose Mom Is Late Goes Suicidal
Young Thug’s 15-Year-Old Son Threatens To Kill Himself, Mother’s Dead & Father Locked Up
The mother of Young Thug’s son, LaKevia Jackson, was shot and killed outside of an Atlanta bowling alley last year. The 31-year-old went to her best friend’s party at Metro Fun Center and got into a dispute over a “bowling ball” with another partygoer.
According to the CBS local news reporter, the suspect “waited 20 mins in the parking lot for LaKevia before he shot her while she was leaving.”
LaKevia’s son with Young Thug is now depressed and has gone suicidal. The 15-year old is seemingly alone, his mother is late and his father is currently locked up. “I’m ready to die come get me,” the helpless teenager wrote on his Instagram story.

On June 12, Young Thug made a plea from jail. “You know, this isn’t about just me or YSL,” he said in a prerecorded address screened at Hot 97’s Summer Jam.
“I always use my music as a form of artistic expression, and I see now that Black artists and rappers don’t have that freedom. Everybody please sign the Protect Black Art petition and keep praying for us. I love you all” he concluded.
The Petition to Protect Black Art is a document co-written by 300 Entertainment co-founder and CEO Kevin Liles — who first signed Thug and helped get his label YSL off the ground as a subsidiary company — and Atlanta Records COO Julie Greenwald.
The document asks both federal and state legislators to adopt bills that limit the use of rap lyrics as evidence in a court of law. The rapper’s plea arrived on the heels of a sprawling, 56-count RICO case against Thug, Gunna, and 26 members of his Young Stoner Life collective.
