The highly publicized trial of Young Thug, the Atlanta-based rapper, took an unexpected turn recently. Former detective, [Detective’s Name], couldn’t contain his laughter while testifying about a strip club fight video.
Young Thug’s RICO trial has already made plenty of headlines for courtroom antics, and this week was no exception. Recently, in a clip shared by Meghann Cuniff on X earlier today, the jury was shown security footage from an alleged strip club brawl involving Young Thug. Before the video was played, however, Judge Paige Reese Whitaker gave the jury a fair warning.
Judge Tells Jury To “Be Prepared” For Strip Club Fight Footage
"You're going to see some images that are things one might see at a strip club. So, be prepared."

The clip of the amusing moment surfaced just a few days after it was reported that a former Fulton County Sheriff’s Deputy was arrested and hit with various charges. 31-year-old Kendra Bailey is accused of accepting bribes from inmates in exchange for drugs and other contraband. Allegedly, one of these inmates was also Marquavious “Qua” Huey, one of Young Thug’s co-defendants in his RICO case. She’s accused of two counts of bribery, four counts of oath violation, and two counts of receiving and handing off banned materials to inmates without authorization.
It also arrives weeks after the judge once again denied the defense’s motion for a mistrial. It was the 45th mistrial motion they’d filed, which set a new record. The trial had already set the record for the longest trial in Georgia’s state history, and unfortunately, it doesn’t show signs of coming to a end any time soon. What do you think of a judge’s disclaimer about footage of an alleged strip club brawl making a retired detective laugh on the stand? Can you blame him?
