Atlanta rapper Young Thug was taken to the hospital for a second day in a row after feeling sick before court proceedings, according to the judge presiding over the trial.
Lawyers told Judge Ural Granville that the rapper, whose real name is Jeffrey Williams, was not well enough to go forward with pre-trail hearings Friday.
On Thursday, the rapper was treated at the hospital and released. Lawyers have not given any information on what kind of illness he is suffering from.
His current condition is unclear.
In a previous bond motion, lawyers claimed that the rapper is suffering from exhaustion and malnutrition after spending more than a year in jail on gang charges.
Williams is one of more than two dozen people charged in a sweeping gang indictment involving alleged members of the Young Slime Life gang.
Prosecutors said members of the gang have engaged in numerous crimes in Atlanta and “terrorized the city” for their own profit.
The trial is set to last nine months to a year.
