Young Thug, real name Jeffery Williams, is also dealing with legal issues stemming from an incident outside his 27th birthday party in Hollywood last month - the rapper's car was reportedly pulled over by cops after allegedly bumping into another vehicle, and during a search, several guns were found.
Williams is reportedly contesting law enforcement officials' account of the incident and claims he and his crew were not in the car when it was pulled over. An insider has also told TMZ two of Young Thug's associates had permits allowing them to carry weapons.
