Young Thug Breaks Silence on His Relationship With Gunna

Young Thug has finally spoken about where things stand between him and Gunna, after months of fans speculating due to apparent jabs in his music and social media posts following Gunna’s release from jail last fall.

In a new interview with GQ published Friday (April 25), Thug was asked about the rumored tension between the two YSL rappers. However, he gave an unclear response.

“I know everybody wonders [what’s going on between us],” Thug said. “I don’t know.”

The same day the interview went live—though it had been recorded several weeks earlier—Thugger also dropped “Money On Money,” the lead single from his upcoming album Uy Scuti, featuring Future.

While the song marks a triumphant return to form for the Atlanta rapper, it’s also grabbing attention for some pointed lyrics that seem aimed at Gunna, referencing his Alford plea during the controversial YSL RICO case.

On the track’s hook, Thug raps: “These fuck n-ggas tellin’ for nothin’, and I gotta be the one callin’ ’em friends,” followed by lines like: “Brother, you a rat (My brother)” and “Twin, you a rat, you smoked, uh.”

This isn’t the first time Thug has seemingly accused Gunna of snitching. Last year, he teased a song on Instagram where he rapped: “Never associate with a rat/ Go and get some money, get a pack.”

For his part, Gunna has firmly denied any claims of cooperating against Thug. His former attorney, Steve Sadow, also defended him, stating:

“I was Gunna’s attorney but I am NOT speaking on his behalf. This post is to set out the truth: Gunna did NOT cooperate, and did NOTHING and said NOTHING to harm Thug’s case. He spent eight months in jail and was released in December 2022 after taking an Alford plea. His plea couldn’t be used against Thug at trial, and he was never named as a witness. He received a five-year suspended sentence with no reporting, travel, or probation restrictions.”

Sadow added that while Gunna’s career has flourished internationally over the past two years, Thug faced a harsher reality: he spent 30 months behind bars before pleading guilty and receiving 15 years probation, with significant restrictions—including not being allowed to live in Atlanta.

He concluded his statement by saying: “To those still criticizing Gunna—move on. Enough said.”
