Young Thug’s Lawyer Address “Negligence” Claims In $1M Lost Bag Lawsuit

Last month, Young Thug filed a lawsuit against his complex apartment building after he accidentally left the bag outside his car after returning from a trip to Los Angeles on Nov. 1, 2020. Young Thug 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.”

Per Rolling Stone, In response to the filing, JLB Peachtree Management, which is the management firm behind the complex, said the missing hard drive is Thug’s fault. In a new court filing, they said his own “negligence and failure to exercise ordinary care” are the only things to blame for the events that led to the hard drive being given away. In response, Young Thug’s lawyer Charles Hoffecker slammed the complex’s “blanket denial” in the matter.

Thug’s lawyer insists that another staff member disregarded the instructions and gave “the property to an unknown individual other than the plaintiff or the plaintiff’s authorized representative.” This means that the company knew exactly who owned the object and thus should not hand it over to anyone other than the identified owner. Separately, Hoffecker continues, “  Now that the defendants have filed their response, we look forward to asserting Young Thug’s rights through the litigation process  .”While everyone wonders about the outcome of this lawsuit, Thug continues with his life and his daily life.

No court date as been set for the case.
