American rapper Young Thug is being criticised on social media after a video of his young daughter appear to be riding a car surfaced online. In the video, the young girl seems to be sitting next to an adult who appears to be supervising her. It looked like quite a dangerous situation with the little one driving. The video in some point also shows a woman's hand reaching over to the realign of the vehicle directing the girl. The incident is said to have shot at an empty residential street in Georgia. The video of a child wearing no seatbelt, barely reaching the dashboard looks quite dangerous. As the video went viral, social media users hit out at the rapper ridiculing his poor parenting methods.

According to TMZ, the female passenger is the girl's mother while Young Thug was not in the car at the time. The video which was first posted on The Shade Room's Instagram page has more than 2.1 million views. In a statement to TMZ, Young Thug's representatives have said that nobody was in the area during the incident and the girl only drove the car for around thirty seconds. People who criticised the rapper includes actor Tyrese and former NBA player Matt Barnes. They called out him on social media and asked him to adopt better parenting skills.

Here is the video:

Following the incident, YT took to his Instagram writing, "Never would I put my child's life in danger nor anyone else's life, I am out of town that video is clearly in Atlanta. I am a very safe man, especially when it comes down to my kids. I am very smart, the last thing I'm looking for is clout/fame I have both." He added saying, "Plus she (his daughter, we assume) wouldn't dare even ask me could she drive a car... But it'll be handled 'expeditiously.'"
