A court in the USA has ordered that detained rapper Young Thug should undergo COVID-19 test after several of his co-defendants tested positive for the deadly disease which has claimed lives globally.
The court order stamped on December 28 which was cited by TMZ revealed that some of the defendants and attorneys in Young Thug’s ongoing case have tested positive for COVID.
The court order states that since several of the rapper’s co-defendants tested positive Young Thug could also be at risk of getting COVID and must get tested.
The 30-year-old rapper with real name Jeffery Williams was accused of conspiracy to violate Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (or, RICO) along with four other defendants.
He faces a slew of charges in the wake of his arrest at his Atlanta home in May.
They include violation of Georgia’s controlled substances act, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and possession of a machine gun and drug charges, reports The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
