Young Thug has made waves with his first collaboration request since his release, choosing to team up with Lil Baby.
- Posting on X, Thugga stirred social media by not tagging Lil Baby directly while hinting at a collaboration.
- Since his release, Young Thug’s social media activity has been minimal, making his latest tweet even more intriguing.
- The rapper’s decision comes after Lil Baby’s public criticism of Gunna, further igniting interest in their potential collaboration.
- Gunna, facing backlash for his plea deal, maintains that Thug harbors no ill will toward him despite the drama.
It’s been a whirlwind since Young Thug was released from jail, and he’s already making headlines with a single tweet. On November 3, Thug took to X (formerly Twitter) suggesting a collaboration with Lil Baby, cheekily writing, “Wham let’s drop one on these rats, Peter.” Despite the deliberate omission of direct tags or mentions, the post caught fire, amassing over 3 million views in no time.
This sudden move comes at a complicated time. Young Thug’s legal hurdles haven’t just been a personal struggle; they’ve been tangled up with drama around his YSL crew. His openly expressed interest in working with Gunna, someone he’s technically not supposed to communicate with, complicated matters even further. Gunna’s acceptance of a plea deal, which left him maintaining innocence while copping a guilty plea, added fuel to the fiery allegations of betrayal.
The drama surrounding Gunna hasn’t just been a personal blow for Young Thug but also stirred the pot within the hip-hop community. Lil Baby, a significant figure in the scene, hasn’t shied away from vocal criticisms. During his “It’s Only Us Tour,” his disdain was evident when he ordered Gunna’s tracks off mid-performance. Such incidents highlight tension brewing under the industry’s surface.
Adding another layer to the scenario, a song snippet surfaced involving Lil Baby’s lyrical jab at his former collaborator. Lines implying strong accusations suggest that not everyone is convinced of Gunna’s innocence. In a revealing move, Young Thug’s tweet aligns with Lil Baby, signaling possible shifts in alliances.
Despite Lil Baby’s critical spotlight, Gunna maintains his stance that Young Thug doesn’t share these sentiments. In his words, “It’s the same. It’s love, always. Our relationship is our relationship.” Meanwhile, as various figures voice their opinion on the matter, Gunna remains unfazed by outsiders not involved in the legal intricacies.
Young Thug’s choice of collaboration partner speaks volumes about shifting loyalties in the rap world.
