Over the phone, I could hear her sobbing and wailing, and then her best friend said, ‘She’s not breathing!'” Sherina expressed her thoughts. “I threw up my baby on a bowling ball.”
According to CBS46, LaKevia Jackson met Young Thug, who was born Jeffrey Lamar Williams, at an apartment complex while she was attending South Atlanta High School and living with her mother before he became famous.
