Young Thug threw a surprise concert outside the Fulton County Courthouse on Sunday for his fans.
The rapper, who had been banned from Atlanta under his probation terms until the restriction was lifted in December, revealed the show earlier that day (Sept. 28).
He teased the performance on X by posting his album cover with the words “LIVE FROM ATLANTA” along with the date and time.
The livestream kicked off at 4 p.m. ET on Sunday, available on both YouTube and Twitch. By 5 p.m. ET, viewers had only seen a DJ spinning for a small crowd outside the courthouse.
The pop-up performance doubled as promo for Thug’s brand-new album, UY SCUTI, released on Sept. 26.
During the set, he ran through fan favorites including “Ski,” “Digits,” and more.
Thug also told those in attendance to “stop the violence” in Atlanta.
On the cover of UY SCUTI, Young Thug appears with lightened skin and blue eyes — a creative choice that left fans stunned.
After the album dropped, Thugger shared a carousel of reimagined photos featuring his collaborators Lil Baby, Quavo, Sexy Red, and T.I. in the same style, captioning it, “My new friends.”
He hasn’t explained the skin-lightening move, though an Instagram post just hours before release read: “IF YOU WANNA BE THE BIGGEST….GO WHITE!!”
UY SCUTI is now available through the Complex Shop in multiple formats, including CD, vinyl, and several boxed sets. One bundle comes with a “What Would Brian Do” tee — a nod to Thug’s attorney Brian Steele.
The album’s release also lines up with exclusive SP5DER merch, available now at the Complex Shop.
