Young Thug's wallet got a little lighter after five members of his entourage were arrested for gun possession at a party last week, after the 27-year-old rapper reportedly ponied up their bail, in addition to shelling out the dough for their legal fees. According to TMZ the bail alone added up to almost $200K, as one guy (who allegedly had an AK-47) cost $50,000 to get out of jail, while four others required $35,000 each. TMZ adds that the five men had lawyers waiting for them at the jail, along with a bail bondsman, roughly 12 hours after their arrests.
In addition to the six-figure total outlined above, sources for TMZ say that lawyer's fees for each person were $7,000 apiece, and that's just to start.
For those unaware (or in need of a refresher) the five men were arrested earlier this month after they were found to allegedly be in possession of multiple weapons at a birthday/Slime Language release party at a Dave & Buster's in Hollywood. Law enforcement sources stated that they found the weapons in a vehicle that belonged to a member of Thug's crew who hit a police cruiser just after leaving the party.
Sources close to Thug countered that by saying that the group was within the Dave & Buster's when cops came in telling them they all needed to go outside because they were being arrested. They also stated that two of those who were arrested had permits to carry, but were still apprehended and booked (along with the rest of the group) for "carrying a concealed weapon in a vehicle."
