Young Thug Sends Sharp Message to “Snitch” Rappers
Tensions between Young Thug and Gunna are flaring up again, this time after a cryptic message from Thug directed at rappers with legal issues .
On July 7, 2025 , he posted on X (formerly Twitter) :
“If u a rapper and u a rat, u gotta just go gospel twin.”
The message quickly went viral, with many fans reading it as yet another indirect shot at Gunna , especially in light of past events tied to the YSL RICO case .
This isn’t the first time Thug has used such language—his recent track “Money On Money” with Future includes lines like:
- “Brother, you a rat.”
- “Twin, you a rat, you smoked.”
Though no names were mentioned, fans believe these lyrics—and now his tweet—are referencing Gunna’s decision to take an Alford plea deal in late 2022 , which allowed him to avoid trial while securing early release from jail.
Gunna Absent From Thug’s Projects Since 2022
After years of collaboration, Gunna’s name vanished from Young Thug’s 2023 album, Business Is Business .
Fans noticed the silence growing louder when Thug recently performed at the 2025 Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash .
During a live performance of the hit song “Ski” , where he originally rapped:
“Bih got a backwood on her nightstand, she must be fkin’ with Gunna,”
He avoided the line completely and muted Gunna’s name in the backing track—another sign that their bond remains broken.
Thug publicly distanced himself from Gunna after the latter’s 2022 plea agreement , fueling widespread belief that he felt betrayed by Gunna’s move.
Reconciliation Hints That Never Materialized
In late 2024, after Thug entered his own guilty plea, he requested permission to reconnect and collaborate with Gunna.
That raised hopes of a reunion among fans and followers of the YSL legacy .
But so far, there’s been no real reconciliation—only growing distance and lyrical shade.
