Thug wants things back to normal, it seems.
Young Thug has seen enough, and he’s now calling for peace amongst some of his most popular collaborators. On Friday (Oct. 18), Thugger hit X/Twitter from behind bars to send a message to Drake, Future, and Metro Boomin. Thug pleaded with his friends to return back to the good times, typing, “@Drake @1future @MetroBoomin we all bruddas. Music aint the same without us collabin.” While Drizzy and Metro didn’t publicly respond to the call to action, Future showed his support by retweeting the post on his X/Twitter account.
Young Thug is currently behind bars as he continues to battle for his freedom in the high-profile YSL RICO trial. Most recently, Kenneth Copeland, a.k.a YSL Woody, offered an apology to Young Thug for “the pain” he caused and took accountability for his lies throughout the trial.
“The pain, the suffering, everything I’ve caused on him and his family,” he said. “I wish I had the mindset and the strength that I have now. I’ll never forgive myself. I took him through a process that I never should have took him through. Even though I know I’m not the cause of it, despite how anybody may feel, it’s wrong.”
As for the men mentioned in Thug’s post, Drake recently spoke about his relationship with the Atlanta rapper in an Instagram Story. Drizzy could be seen rocking Thugger’s Sp5der clothing brand and pouting his lips with a message, saying, “I ain’t talking to talk man I really put up [money] on the [briefcase emoji] 3 Jeff.”
Prior to this episode, Drizzy had a moment during a recent show where he called out “people turning their backs” on him after his beef with Kendrick Lamar.
“My real friends are definitely in the building,” he told the crowd. “But let me tell you that you’re going to come to a point in life where people you thought were friends, or people you thought were close to you, switch up. They might stab you in the back. They might do a lot of things to you.”
“You’ll come to that realization wherever you’re at in life,” he added. “You’ll probably be there or been there—that’s how life is. Sometimes it’s you and you alone, by yourself. Sometimes, it’s you alone with your thoughts.”
Metro Boomin spoke on the Drake-Kendrick Lamar beef and the battle’s ripple effects on the game. During the interview at Forbes Under 30 Summit, Metro asserted that it should have just been a battle but, due to the nature of stan culture, fans online made the situation “weird.”
“I feel like the competition is great for the game,” he stated. “Hip-Hop has always been a competitive genre. Even if just keeping it on music it’s not serious how everybody tries to make it,” he said. “Also with Hip-Hop, there’s a lot of ego involved. You’re supposed to feel like you’re the best.”
“When two of the top dogs in the game and you both feel like you’re the best, like, ‘OK… we gotta have a showdown.’ We saw it with JAY-Z and Nas before. I feel like more today it’s more stan culture makes it kind of weird. Back in the day, JAY-Z and Nas went at it, I was a fan of both of them. Most people were. It was like, ‘OK, it’s OK.’ It’s not like, ‘I had this side. I hate this side.’ The internet makes it a little too wild now.”
