Young Thug is back—and he’s bringing his lawyer, Brian Steel, with him, at least on a t-shirt. The Atlanta rap star is ramping up hype for his upcoming album, UY Scuti, by dropping a line of merch that’s already got fans and legal eagles talking.
The standout? A t-shirt emblazoned with a photo of his now-famous attorney, Brian Steel, and the cheeky slogan “WWBD”—that’s “What Would Brian Do?” for those not fluent in courtroom chic.
The shirt is part of a full box set available on Thug’s website, bundled with the new album. It’s a fitting tribute: Steel became a viral sensation during the headline-grabbing YSL RICO case, where he fiercely defended Thug through every twist and turn. Now, with Thug out of jail and ready to reclaim the spotlight, the duo’s bond is immortalized in cotton.
UY Scuti will be Young Thug’s first full-length project since 2023’s Business Is Business and his first since his release. While Thug hasn’t dropped an exact release date, billboards and cryptic social media posts hint that May is the month to watch—three years after his initial arrest alongside Gunna and other YSL members.
Thug’s been teasing the album for weeks, even flashing a custom “UY Scuti” jersey courtside at an NBA game with Mariah the Scientist. The album’s name, a nod to one of the universe’s largest stars, suggests Thug is aiming for something cosmic.
Meanwhile, Brian Steel is already onto his next high-profile case, joining Diddy’s legal team as the Bad Boy mogul faces his own courtroom drama. But for now, in the world of hip-hop merch, Steel is a star in his own right.
