Young Thug

Jeffery Lamar Williams II，艺名Young Thug，是一位美国说唱歌手和词曲作者，以其古怪的声乐风格和大胆的时尚重塑了嘻哈音乐。他于1991年8月16日出生在佐治亚州亚特兰大，从城市的陷阱音乐场景中崛起，成为现代说唱界最具影响力的人物之一。他含糊、旋律化的演唱和不可预测的节奏帮助推广了模糊说唱这一子流派，并启发了一代艺术家。

Young Thug的事业在2014年凭借《Stoner》和《Danny Glover》等病毒式热门歌曲以及Rich Gang的《Lifestyle》等抢镜客串诗句起飞。他与300 Entertainment签约，并发布了一系列备受赞誉的混音带，包括《Barter 6》和《Slime Season》系列。他的首张专辑《So Much Fun》（2019年）在Billboard 200上排名第一，并凭借Childish Gambino的《This Is America》获得格莱美奖。他还作为特邀艺术家获得了多首冠军单曲，包括Camila Cabello的《Havana》和Drake的《Way 2 Sexy》。

在音乐之外，Young Thug以其性别流动的时尚而闻名，经常在红毯和专辑封面上穿着连衣裙和裙子。他创立了自己的厂牌YSL Records，并指导了Gunna和Lil Baby等艺术家。在2022年至2024年因一起备受瞩目的RICO案件被监禁后，他于2025年携专辑《UY Scuti》回归，并继续突破创作界限。粉丝们喜爱他的直率坦诚、坚韧不拔和拒绝随波逐流的态度。[编辑]

Young Thug在亚特兰大的Jonesboro South公共住房项目长大，这是克莱顿县的一个低收入住宅区。他的父亲是一名浸信会执事和音乐家，在他十几岁时去世，这一损失深深影响了他。他的母亲是一名护士，以支撑家庭。Thug曾就读于Jonesboro高中，但在11年级辍学，转而贩卖毒品以维持生计。

他的音乐第一步始于2010年，在朋友家的一台基本电脑设备上录制歌曲。他以“Young Thug”的绰号说唱，这个绰号是他的叔叔因他调皮的行为而起的。2011年，他独立发行了首张混音带《I Came from Nothing》，在当地引起了适度的关注。2013年初，Gucci Mane通过亚特兰大陷阱音乐圈的人脉听到了他的音乐，并留下了深刻印象。Gucci将他签入1017 Records，Thug于2013年2月发布了厂牌首秀《1017 Thug》，向更广泛的观众介绍了他非传统的风格。[编辑]

Young Thug的主流突破出现在2014年，凭借单曲《Stoner》（在Hot 100上最高排名第47位）和《Danny Glover》。他在T.I.的《About the Money》、Tyga的《Hookah》和Rich Gang的《Lifestyle》（排名第16位）中的客串表演巩固了他日益上升的地位。2014年7月，他与300 Entertainment签订了个人合约，并发布了备受好评的《Rich Gang: Tha Tour Pt. 1》。

在整个2015年和2016年，Thug发布了一系列多产的混音带，包括《Barter 6》、《Slime Season》三部曲和《Jeffery》，展示了他融合流派和实验性的制作。与Travis Scott合作的《Pick Up the Phone》成为他个人首支Hot 100热门歌曲。2017年，他在Camila Cabello的《Havana》中献声，该曲连续七周位居榜首，成为全球热门。次年，他参与了Childish Gambino的《This Is America》，赢得了格莱美年度歌曲奖。

他的首张专辑《So Much Fun》（2019年）在Billboard 200上首周夺冠，并催生了《The London》和《Hot》等热门歌曲。2020年，他与Chris Brown发布了合作混音带《Slime & B》，单曲《Go Crazy》最高排名第三。他出现在Travis Scott的《Franchise》和Drake的《Way 2 Sexy》中，两者都是冠军单曲。他的第二张专辑《Punk》（2021年）也首周夺冠。在2023年被监禁期间，他发布了《Business Is Business》，首周排名第二。2024年10月获释后，他于2025年推出了第四张专辑《UY Scuti》。[编辑]

Young Thug被广泛认为是嘻哈界一个两极分化且富有创新力的力量。他的声乐风格以含糊、旋律化的节奏和不可预测的即兴表演为特点，既被赞为开创性，也被批评为难以理解。他以性别流动的时尚而闻名，经常穿着连衣裙、裙子和超大珠宝，挑战说唱中的传统男性气质。媒体称他为“他这一代最具影响力的说唱歌手”和“嘻哈的未来”。他的粉丝被称为“Slime Family”，忠诚且欣赏他的古怪。在社交媒体上，Thug随和幽默，经常通过Instagram直播和Twitter与粉丝互动。[编辑]

Young Thug currently holds no placement in the published iFANN Global Top 1,000 rankings or any scope-specific Top-100 lists, a status confirmed by the August 2026 evaluation cycle. While the iFANN Global Fame Engine has assessed his standing, he does not currently secure a numbered rank among the world's most famous figures, reflecting a complex landscape where cultural influence sometimes outpaces traditional metric-based positioning. His audience remains a massive, decentralized collective rather than a group with a formalized identity. Extensive research into fan culture reveals no official name for his supporters, nor are there records of organized campaigns, streaming parties, or specific rituals unique to Young Thug that distinguish them from general hip-hop fandoms. The search data offers no evidence of fan-funded projects, charity drives in his name, or viral folklore regarding crowd disruptions during his performances with Bankroll Mafia. While the collective itself produced notable work like the self-titled album *Bankroll Mafia* and tracks such as "Out My Face," the mythology surrounding these efforts focuses on the music and the group's formation rather than extraordinary interactions between the artist and his listeners. There are no documented stories of streets shutting down due to his presence or fans fainting at shows that have entered the realm of legend within this specific context.[编辑]

Jeffery Lamar Williams II carries a stage name bestowed by his uncle, who dubbed him "Thug" during childhood for his mischievous spirit. A crying eye tattoo adorns his left cheek, serving as a permanent marker of his pain and struggles. In July 2016, he made history as the first rapper to grace the cover of Rolling Stone while wearing a dress, challenging gender norms in the genre. He suffers from a fear of heights and strictly refuses to fly on small planes. Possessing a photographic memory for lyrics, he can recall entire songs after a single hearing. His career faced significant hurdles when he was banned from the United Kingdom in 2016 following visa revocation due to a criminal record. Within the collective Bankroll Mafia, formed in 2015 alongside T.I. and Shad da God, the group released their debut album in April 2016, featuring hits like "I Want Her" which includes 21 Savage. While some legends surround PeeWee Roscoe's legal troubles involving a 2015 incident with Lil Wayne's tour bus, these remain matters of public record rather than viral folklore or iconic performance moments attributed directly to Young Thug's personal mythos.[编辑]

Young Thug出生于Jeffrey Williams Sr.（一位浸信会执事和音乐家）和Erika Williams（一名护士）的家庭。他的父亲在Thug十几岁时去世。他有一个姐姐LaTonya "Toni" Williams和一个弟弟Quantavious "Quan" Williams，后者也从事音乐。Thug有六个孩子，来自多段关系。他与母亲关系密切，在他法律纠纷期间母亲一直支持他。他在亚特兰大拥有两处房产，并有一只名叫Slime的宠物狗，他经常在社交媒体上发帖。[编辑]

Young Thug与Gucci Mane关系密切，后者将其签入1017 Records并在他职业生涯早期给予指导。他与Travis Scott频繁合作，出现在《Pick Up the Phone》和《Franchise》等歌曲中。他与Gunna广泛合作，既是合作者，也是YSL Records旗下的签约艺人。其他经常合作的艺人包括Future、Drake、J. Cole和Chris Brown。他还是团体Bankroll Mafia的领袖。[编辑]

Young Thug的第一段已知恋情是与一位名叫Jerrika的女性，他们从2013年左右约会至2015年，育有一子。随后，他与模特Mariah从2015年左右约会至2017年，育有一女。他最受关注的一段恋情是与时装设计师Karlae（Karla Brown），两人从2017年开始约会，2018年订婚，但于2021年分手，Thug称原因是不可调和的分歧；他们没有子女。大约在2018年至2020年间，他与两个孩子的母亲有过一段私密关系，但其身份未公开确认。截至2026年，Young Thug据报为单身，专注于事业和子女。[编辑]

Per iFANN's editorial analysis, Young Thug's net worth stands at $8 Million as of 2026, marking a substantial shift from his peak valuation of $20 million in 2021. This decline stems largely from legal fees associated with his RICO trial, which consumed an estimated $5-10 million, alongside lost earnings during his incarceration from 2022 to 2024. Revenue streams continue to include music royalties from a catalog exceeding 500 songs, generating approximately $2-3 million annually. Before legal challenges arose, touring contributed $1-2 million per cycle. Past endorsement partnerships included Calvin Klein in 2016, Puma in 2018, and Beats by Dre in 2019, though current income from such deals is minimal. He retains ownership stakes in YSL Records and holds real estate assets in Atlanta valued near $1.5 million. Following his release in October 2024, annual income has recovered to roughly $2 million, fueled by the album UY Scuti and the March 2026 launch of his clothing line, Slime Life.[编辑]

Young Thug获得了多项奖项，包括因对Childish Gambino的《This Is America》的贡献而获得的格莱美年度歌曲奖。他赢得了四项BET嘻哈奖，包括凭借《Barter 6》和《Jeffery》获得的最佳混音带奖，以及凭借《So Much Fun》获得的最佳专辑奖。他还凭借《Havana》获得了BET最佳合作奖、MTV音乐录影带大奖年度最佳视频奖和公告牌音乐奖最佳Hot 100歌曲奖。此外，他还获得了全美音乐奖和iHeartRadio音乐奖年度合作奖。[编辑]
