In the closely watched world of hip-hop, few friendships have been scrutinized more this year than the one between Young Thug and Gunna. Now, a soon-to-be-released track with Lil Baby appears ready to address the whispers head-on. For months, fans have speculated about a rift between the two YSL mainstays. Young Thug, it seems, may be prepared to put his version of events on record.
A leaked clip from Lil Baby’s upcoming album, featuring a Young Thug verse, lit up social media within hours. In it, Thug pointedly raps, “Only reason I f**ked with you Gunna, it was cause of Troup.” The line hints at a history far more layered than most listeners knew, though its full meaning will remain unclear until the song’s official release.
Gunna has offered his own veiled responses. Earlier this month, he dropped The Last Wun, his final project under the YSL banner. On “prototype,” he appears to reference a now-deleted post from Thug that read, “Gunna stop acting like we friends on the internet, I don’t know u my guy.” That November tweet—and its quiet disappearance—has become part of the mythology surrounding their fallout.
A Fractured Alliance
Neither artist has spoken directly about the deleted post. Still, Gunna’s line—“N***a had tweeted my name, must’ve had to be a typo”—leaves little doubt he took notice. The tension carries extra weight given their shared ordeal in 2022, when both were charged under Georgia’s sweeping RICO statute. Gunna was freed after accepting a plea deal, sparking a wave of speculation and unsubstantiated claims that he had implicated others—accusations he flatly denies.
In a recent GQ interview, Young Thug was asked outright about their current standing. His reply was as elusive as it was telling: “I know everybody wondering that… I don’t know.” The remark only deepened the uncertainty.
As Lil Baby’s album release draws closer, anticipation is running high—not just for the music, but for the possibility that Young Thug will break his public silence on the feud. Whether he addresses it directly or keeps the tension alive between the lines, the unfolding Thug-Gunna saga continues to blur the boundary between personal history and public performance, ensuring that every lyric is heard as more than just a rhyme.
