The Business is Business rapper's attorney Brian Steele told ABC News that his client is not a flight risk and that he is not in a good health condition. “Mr. Williams is not a risk to commit a crime and he's not a risk to flee the jurisdiction and that's what bond is about,” Steele said, adding that Thug is “sleep-deprived.”
