Young Thug's lawyer blasts claims that the rapper, not building management, is to blame for the loss of a Louis Vuitton bag filled with $40,000 in cash, diamond-encrusted jewelry, and 200 unreleased songs 'worth at least an estimated $1,000,000.'
The rapper’s lawyer, Charles Hoffecker, says that the firm’s “blanket denial” has a huge hole in it. “The suggestion my client’s negligence — if any — outweighs the defendants’ ignores the simple facts the defendants’ employees acted to secure the property, knew whose property it was, committed to keep the property safe in a secure location, communicated to my client they would keep the property secure, and then released the property to an unknown person,” Hoffecker tells.
According to the underlying lawsuit filed last month, Young Thug, whose legal name is Jeffery Williams, accidentally left the bag outside his car after returning from a trip to Los Angeles on Nov. 1, 2020.
The lawsuit claims that after that communication, another employee entered the secured area and “released the property to an unknown person” without contacting Williams or the initial employee who had written the note. Williams says that the bag contained $40,000 in cash, a diamond-encrusted watch worth $57,000, a chain with inset diamonds worth $37,000, and a hard drive containing approximately 200 unreleased songs “worth at least an estimated $1,000,000.”
“Defendants voluntarily took possession of plaintiff’s property, notified plaintiff of their possession of his property, and undertook additional efforts to secure it and only return it to a proper party. When defendants released the property to an unknown individual other than plaintiff or plaintiff’s authorized representative, defendants breached a duty of care to plaintiff which had been created by their actions,” the lawsuit filed in Gwinnett County Superior Court states.
