A man who said he's been Young Thug's driver for about eight years is threatening to sue the rapper for allegedly getting beaten up in May at a party in Los Angeles.

Derrick Thrasher, who said he got into an argument with Thugger's rapper  Lil Duke at the party. So to avoid a fight, Thrasher said he left the shindig but had to return to pick up Thugger. 

When he came back into the party Thrasher said he was held down, punched, kicked and a liquor bottle was broken over his head by Duke and his goons.  Thrasher needed surgery to repair his injuries. 

He's now looking for a financial settlement from 300 Entertainment,  Thug and Lil Duke's record label and will sue if one isn't reached.

Thug, who once got sued for not delivering a verse that he was paid for, hasn't commented on this yet.

Do you think Thrasher will walk away with a big payday?
