It’s
been
public
knowledge
that
Brian
Steel
has
been
Young
Thug’s
go-to
lawyer
for
over
six
years,
but
after
he
argued
down
a
25-year
jail
sentence
to
15
years
probation,
he
picked
up
a
new
role:
Young
Thug’s
go-to
model.
Brian
Steel
was
recently
chosen
to
model
several
pieces
from
Young
Thug’s
clothing
brand
Sp5der:
Instead
of
the
ubiquitous
nose-wiping
associated
with
YSL
affiliates,
the
advertisement
largely
consists
of
Steel
being
on
the
phone
and
getting
in
and
out
of
cars.
That
said,
Steel
knows
better
than
to
be
the
lawyer
getting
caught
doing
that
on
video.
Wouldn’t
want
to
risk
violating
his
client’s
probation
over
a
promo
drop.
It
would
have
been
fair
to
assume
that
Thugger’s
first
day
out
drop
would
have
been
music
rather
than
merch,
but
his
reputation
for
fashion
has
never
been
far
behind
him:
During
the
trial,
Young
Thug
was
asked
to
limit
his
wardrobe
because
his
wardrobe
was
too
hard
distracted
the
public
eye.
See
them
for
yourself:
We’ve
yet
to
see
Judge
Whitaker
wearing
a
Sp5der
tracksuit,
but
it
would
be
a
welcome
edition
to
the
legal
fashion
watch.
