According to the lawyer of Young THUG, the word thug does not mean what it might appear. Young Thug once came upon the realization that if he had managed to make it out of the constant cycle of hopelessness and sadness which is the "trenches", he would be "Truly Humbled Under God". That's why THUG, means Truly Humbled Under God, rather than someone who is thuggin' that shit out in the streets.
“Thug means Truly Humble Under God.” Said by young thug’s lawyer in a attempt to get his client to not gojail by claiming him to be infact Truly Humbled under god
The moniker that THUG stands for. It's where rapperYoung Thug originates his name sake according to defense testimony in Fulton County Superior Court of Atlanta Georgia.
Most people think about a thug as a criminal, but to Jeffery, 'THUG' had a different meaning, something very personal. It was his pact, that if he could ever make it, ending the "endless cycle of hopelessness," and that if he achieved his goal, he would be "Truly Humbled Under God." That's what 'THUG' means.
