Young Thug invites sick, 14-year-old fan onstage during concert
Young Thug recently bonded with one of his biggest fans at a concert over the weekend.
During the Atlanta native's set at the Lollapalooza festival in Stockholm, Sweden, he invited 14-year-old Steven onstage to perform with him, People reported.
Young Thug’s manager noticed the teen, who uses a wheelchair and reportedly has an illness, in the general admission section. He was singing all the rapper’s songs word for word, according the magazine.
Young Thug’s general manager then approached Steven’s mother and learned they drove to Stockholm for the show, because Young Thug, aka Jeffery Williams, is Steven’s favorite artist.
That’s when Steven was invited on stage to see the emcee up close. He even got to attend the meet and greet afterwards, where him Young Thug took a few photos, including one of them high-fiveing each other.
