it's unclear why," reported TMZ. "The guards were escorting the rapper out of the mall when he allegedly said he was going to shoot one of them in the face."

Thug who is currently being held in Dekalb County Jail, according to the report is a well know rapper who had two high profile Hip-Hop beefs this year.

One with West Coast rapper The Game and the other with Lil' Wayne.
