Celebrities — especially rappers — have a special way of showing love to their lawyers after a verdict in their favor.
There’s a decade old compilation of rappers shouting out their legal defense in a song or two, but the more recent signs of respect and appreciation have been a lot more personal. Kodak Black got his lawyer’s name tattooed on his hand. A$ap Rocky and Rihanna promised to name their 3rd child after Joe Tacopina for his role in landing Lord Pretty Flacko Jody II a not guilty verdict. Young Thug, style guru that he is, helped Brian Steel add model to his CV:
But Thugger isn’t stopping there: Steel was recently elevated to the level of iconography — religious subtext included.
Several answers to “WWBD” were posed, ranging from “Defend Diddy” to “Bring Diddy fresh baby oil“. They are in reference to Mr. Steel’s recent decision to represent Sean Combs. For what it’s worth, the shirts may have been in production well before Brian picked up his newest client.
Here’s hoping that he took the What “Would Brian Do” sentiment seriously in the recording studio. While there’s no expectation that Steel drop a quick 16 or a chorus, it may be a good idea for him to give the lyrics a quick once over. Considering that Georgia tried to get Thug’s parole revoked for a tweet he made about an investigator, he has to drop the album with the expectation that at least someone will be assigned to pick through the musical showcase for any hint of criminal activity: fictive or otherwise. As great as a couple new hits would be, he’s already had a couple of lifetime’s worth of fighting over his lyrics in court. Perhaps his first release after the case should be an instrumental. No sirens or gunshots, please.
