Young Thug continues to have a problem with rappers who cooperate with the law.
On Monday (July 7), the Atlanta rapper took to X to deliver a message for certain rappers that he deems snitches and suggested they make music for a different genre. “If u a rapper and u a rat,” he tweeted. “U gotta just go gospel twin.”
And while there’s no telling who he’s referring to specifically, he commented on Kid Cudi taking the stand in the Diddy trial back in May, tweeting, “Dam cudi a rat lol,” before ultimately deleting the post. Then there’s his relationship with frequent collaborator and labelmate Gunna who decided to take a plea deal early on during the lengthy YSL RICO trial and has subsequently been receiving shade from Thugger.
Back in November 2024, the YSL label boss tweeted and deleted a post asking Gunna to “stop acting” like they’re still cool and added. “I don’t know you my guy.” This was a few months after his father showed Gunna some support by attending one of his shows in Atlanta during his Bittersweet Tour. Then a few months ago in April, during a GQ interview, Thugger was asked what their relationship is currently and gave a lukewarm response, telling the outlet simply, “I don’t know.”
He also commented on an Instagram post in May, “I mean… he said it must end lol,” pointing out that Gunna seemingly covered up his YSL tattoo in reference to a statement prosecutors read in the courtroom after Gunna took the deal. “I recognize, acknowledge and deeply regret that my talent and music indirectly furthered YSL the gang to the detriment of my community,” Gunna said in the statement. “YSL as a gang must end.”
