Young Thug has revealed that just like his bride Jerrika Karlae, he too will be wearing a dress at his wedding. The rapper, who recently collaborated with Usher for the song "No Limit," expressed his love for women clothing and traced this controversial sense of fashion back to his childhood.
In an interview with Billboard, the 25-year-old rapper said that when it comes to swag, there is no gender involved. Young Thug added that his fashion inspiration dates back to the time when he was 12, where he would wear his sister's shoes because his feet were too small.
Young Thug continued by explaining that his father was uncomfortable with his love for women clothing. However, that would not stop him from dressing as he pleased. The hip hop artist modeled for Puma's Classics collection in a skinny tracksuit and even wore a frock and trousers for Calvin Klein's 2016 global campaign.
In the cover of his album, Jeffery, which debuted at number 8 in the Top 200 Billboard charts, the Atlanta rapper wore a ruffled periwinkle- geisha couture meets Mortal Kombat's Raiden dress. Despite the queer fashion sense, Jeffery sold many copies by the first week of September, BET reported.
Also, Young Thug expressed his bold decision to stick to his fashion sense despite the controversies it attracts. The "Thief in the Night" artist told the public that "there will be two brides," at his wedding. Apparently, he was talking about himself walking down the aisle in a dress as the second bride and not specifically about two women.
Meanwhile, Young Thug's album "Jeffery" earned him utmost recognition in the Hip Hop industry. The rapper set a Billboard record by being the first artist to land three top 5 debuts at the Top Rap Albums chart of 2016.
"Jeffery" sold 37,000 units in the first week of its release. It also became number 8 on the Billboard 200. Judging from Young Thug's previous releases, his music has been received well so far.
The mixtape "I'm Up" came at number 6 when it dropped in February selling 15,000 copies in the first week. "Slime Season 3" followed suit three months later debuting at number 3 and selling 22,000.
