Young Thug Supposedly Gifted 100 Acres of Land for Birthday, Plans to Develop ‘Slime City’

Young Thug‘s birthday gifts are all examples of what happens when you have rich friends, and at least one is an example of what happens when you have rich friends who want to see you continuously build on your wealth.

The rapper celebrated his 30th birthday on August 16 and received a variety of lush gifts from his celebrity friends. Among the apparent list of presents are pieces of high-end art from T.I., a pink Bentley from Gunna, $100,000 from his longtime girlfriend Karlae, and a Bottega Veneta from 21 Savage.

The “Bad Boy” rapper’s list of enviable gifts grew by about 100 acres after he purportedly was surprised with an expansive amount of landy by his manager Geoff Ogunlesi and Atlanta realtor Trey Williams.

“Happy Birthday to one of my top clients @thuggerthugger1 🎈” Williams shared in an Instagram post. “His manager @geoffo212 and I secretly locked down 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ Acres of land for his birthday and now he’s about to build Slime City! This is hands down one of the best ways to invest your money!💰Thank you @geoffo212 for trusting me to get this deal done‼️🙏🏽”

In the video shared by Williams, the “Franchise” rapper is joined by a few members of his team as they survey the currently wooded land. “100 acres of land where you can build your own subdivision…invest your money,” the realtor can be heard saying in one of the videos.

Fans praised the realtor and manager for making a sound investment for Young Thug as they look forward to seeing how the “Go Crazy” artist develops his land.

“This is how you invest! 🍾🙌🏾”

“LEVELS 🏋🏾‍♀️”

“100 acres dayuuummmmm that’s big boss s**t right there keep killing it 🔥👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌”

Young Thug is the most recent of a growing number of rappers who are investing their time and money into procuring and developing large amounts of land. Rick Ross purchased 87 acres of land in the Atlanta suburb of Fayetteville, Kanye West owns two ranches in Wyoming, and Akon is developing his own futuristic cities on the continent of Africa.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
