At one point, a woman’s hand reaches over to realign the wheel of the luxury vehicle Lincoln car. The tiny child then continues to drive down an empty residential street in Georgia.

According to TMZ, the female passenger is the girl’s mother, but Young Thug was not in the car at the time.

He has since responded to the criticizm levelled against him and vehemently denies having any involvement.

“Never would I put my child’s life in danger nor anyone else’s life. I am out of town and that video is clearly in Atlanta,” the Best Friend artist wrote on Instagram.

“I am a very safe man, especially when it comes down to my kids. I am very smart, last thing I’m looking for is clout/fame I have both.”

“Plus she wouldn’t dare even ask me could she drive a car…But it’ll be handled ‘expeditiously.’ You people must get smarter than you are to think I’m anywhere near such thing.”
