Gunna & Young Thug Need To Rekindle Their Friendship So We Can Get Songs Like “Lesbian” Again

by

2024 has been a very combative year for hip-hop, that almost goes without saying. The number of beefs that us and fans are witnessing is quite remarkable, but also kind of saddening. Sure, the competitive nature of it all is something that has helped revitalized the genre after a down year in 2023 in some respects. However, wishing for a more exciting stretch has come with some drawbacks for sure. The loss of fantastic duos is probably the most glaring of them all. Drake being up against well over a dozen MCs and adjacent acts has stripped away a lot of potential collabs. Once some of his closest pals in Metro Boomin and Future are now mortal enemies.

We could go on and on about the rest, but we now have to shift our focus to Gunna and Young Thug. There are the most recent to be at odds thanks to a tweet and delete from the YSL boss. “Gunna stop acting like we friends on the internet, I don’t know u my guy,” he tweeted days after his release from the RICO trial. Gunna has yet to speak on the matter, but we are almost 100% positive he’s on that same energy. It’s got us reminiscing on tracks between Gunna and Young Thug like “Lesbian,” which seem like a relic of the past now. It may be a Metro Boomin track, but the way they were able to match each other’s energy was special anytime the worked together was special. Time usually heals most things, so hopefully, that’s all that’s required.

Gunna Appears To Tease Another Single In Visual For “Him All Along”

by

Overall, 2024 has been another solid year for Atlanta rapper and crooner, Gunna. Since his involvement in the YSL RICO trial, he’s been doing well to maintain a loyal fanbase amid the relentless “rat” and “snitch” labels. Of course, there’s always going to be some that will hold a grudge, but his streams and standing within the game are still very high. He’s still pulling in well over hundreds of millions of plays on songs, with 37.3 million monthly listeners rallying around him. One of Wun is his latest LP this time around, and once again there remain to be a nice collection of hits. Tracks like “prada dem,” “on one tonight,” and the title cut are arguably the main ones to list. However, Gunna has not been clear of obstacles entirely.

Right now, it seems like Young Thug is turning on his YSL brethren. That’s despite making sure he was one of the few from his crew he could work alongside and remain in communication with. A tweet and delete let us know how Thugger is supposedly really feeling. Wunna still hasn’t broke his silence on their relationship, so we are hoping these two are working things out. However, that could possibly not be the case, as a lot of the themes on One of Wun preached self-growth. Gunna preached more of the same on “HIM ALL ALONG,” his most recent release. “They was tryna stunt my growth, I been steady chasin’ my goals / N****, why you watchin’? I’m grown, n**** can’t take my throne,” he spits melodically on the chorus.

That confidence-boosting single now has a music video to go along with it and it’s a nice fit. Him and producer of the record Turbo are enjoying the finer things in life thanks in part to their hard work. Despite the opulent visuals, Gunna’s also possibly prepping fans for more. After the song concludes, a teaser of a moodier snippet plays as he hops on a private jet. Billboard and fans agree with our speculation and hopefully, it drops soon.

YSL frontrunner Gunna drops his first video after the plea deal release of Young Thug, which is aptly titled “Him All Along” on the Young Stoner Life / 300 Entertainment imprint. With the track produced by Turbo and Yung Bleu, the visual takes the viewer on a day in the life of one of the most controversial figures in Hip Hop’s current landscape.

Filmed in Sanlúcar de Berrameda, the Marbella Country Club in Malaga, Spain, Van Nuys, California and all the way back to his hometown of ATL, Gunna shows his international connects that collectively all lead back to his ATLien roots.

Meanwhile, 2024 saw Gunna topple the charts with One of Wun—which crashed the Billboard 200 at #2 and emerged as his fifth Top 5 debut and set the stage for his massive THE BITTERSWEET TOUR. With more music and major moves on the horizon, Gunna will continue to change the culture forever.

It looks like Gunna is branching out in his video for “Him All Along.” The single, which has been out for a few weeks, focuses on Gunna’s pursuit of his goals. In the new clip, which dropped earlier today, Gunna details just what that looks like. Rather than simply flexing and flossing his way through another showcase of his material wealth, “Him All Along” finds Gunna indulging in new experiences, from hitting the links to work on his golf stroke to taking in a display of equestrian excellence. The video ends with Gunna putting on a community day for the kids of Atlanta, complete with carnival games and a supersized inflatable slide.

“Him All Along” continues Gunna standout run since leaving jail in late 2022, which has included the Bittersweet Tour, his new album, One Of Wun, and an initiative to guarantee income to two dozen families in Fulton County. Meanwhile, he recently wrapped up another slate of tour dates ahead of his upcoming Amazon Music Live performance in Los Angeles and appears to be rebuilding his status in hip-hop, even as some hackers try to downplay the olive branch extended to him by Young Thug on his last day in court.

It is a bittersweet moment for Young Thug and Gunna fans. Yesterday (November 9), the dream of both rappers coming together for new music finally fizzled out.

In a now-deleted post on X (formerly Twitter), Young Thug shed light on the state of their friendship, writing: “Gunna stop acting like we friends on the internet, I don’t know u my guy.”

Now, Gunna’s brother, DP, issued a response of his own seemingly on behalf of Gunna. “Trust and believe the feeling is mutual 🅿,” wrote DP in the comment section of The Shade Room’s Instagram post (viewable here).

This revelation has drummed up confusion between Young Thug and Gunna’s overlapping supporters. After Gunna accepted a plea deal in connection to the YSL Records RICO trial, users online slammed him for being disloyal to Thug. However, Thug’s father, Big Jeff, released a statement in support of Gunna. So, Young Thug’s now-deleted comment threw fans for a loop.

Despite Big Jeff’s public remarks, online commentator Akademiks claimed that industry insiders knew Young Thug and Gunna’s relationship had soured. “I been told yall,” he wrote on X. “Thug told Durk, [Lil] Baby and a few other rappers that Gunna was no good while he was incarcerated meaning it ain’t no way he can come back out and justify rockin wit Gunna when he told n****s not to rock wit Gunna when he was locked.”

Although multiple parties have chimed in on the matter, Gunna hasn’t released a statement.

In the words of Drake, Young Thug is now a member of the tweet-and-delete crew. Today (November 9), the “Yeah Yeah” rapper took to his official page with a shocking announcement.

Following Young Thug’s recent release from custody, fans held out hope for a collaboration between him and Gunna. However, Young Thug seemingly shut down that wish on X (formerly Twitter), writing (viewable here): “Gunna stop acting like we friends on the internet, I don’t know u my guy.”

This upload blindsided supporters following reports that Young Thug requested a probation exemption to allow him to remain in contact with Gunna after his release.

Users online believe Young Thug’s remarks were in response to Gunna reposting a promotional post teasing new music from Thug in his Instagram stories (viewable here).

Shortly after Thug’s removed statement Akademiks took to his X page to double down on past speculations that there was tension among the two.

“[I] still predict Young Thug to say he was hacked in a few,” he wrote. “But, how many times he gonna tell y’all he don’t f*ck wit Gunna before y’all believe it.”

In the past Thug’s father, Big Jeff, spoke out in support of Gunna, attended Gunna’s The Bittersweet Tour, and slammed “snitch” claims pointed at Gunna.

Now, Young Thug fans are side eyeing Big Jeff and all others who have recently come out to support Gunna.

Young Thug Specifically Requested To Make Music With Gunna In Plea Deal

by

Young Thug had a busy Halloween. The rapper copped a plea deal and was released with 15 years probation. It was a stunningly concise resolution to a case that had worn on longer than any in Georgia history. The conditions of Thugger’s release were extensive. One of the most notable points, however, is that the rapper not not have contact with fellow YSL members. Thug accepted, but requested that two exceptions to be made to this rule. The first was his biological brother, and the second, to the shock of the internet, was Gunna.

The rapper’s lawyer, Brian Steel, pushed for Gunna to be except from his client’s conditions of release. “He’s a phenomenal artist,” the lawyer stated. “They are contractually obligated. And they frequently perform make music.” The request went through, and Thug is now legally able to record with his Gunna moving forward. Those following the YSL case may be shocked by the fact that Thug made the request at all. Gunna was part of the initial RICO indictment against YSL in May 2022.

Young Thug Allegedly Dissed Gunna Behind Bars

The rapper took a plea deal and was released from prison in December 2022. He has since continued to release commercially successful albums. His relationship with Thug, however, seemed damaged. Many believed Gunna snitched on Thug to protect himself from prison time. This resulted in the former gaining a negative reputation. Kendrick Lamar even alluded to Gunna’s reputation on his Drake diss “Euphoria.” Thugger’s last album to date, BUSINESS IS BUSINESS, has several subliminal disses littered throughout. Gunna was the obvious suspect. Even those close to Thugger, like Future, seemed to take shots at the “Pushin’ P” rapper.

Thug’s children were even more direct. They released a music video and a diss song aimed at Gunna. They went as far as to threaten to kill the YSL rapper for allegedly snitching on their father. “And Bentley a rat he keep leaving states,” the children rapped. “And Gunna get whacked if he don’t leave L.A.” Gunna dismissed the hatred, however. In April, he told XXL that his friendship with Young Thug was strong as ever. “It’s the same,” he asserted. “It’s love, always. Our relationship is our relationship.” Most fans were skeptical of this stance. Young Thug’s plea deal has validated Gunna’s claims. The world will get to hear more Thugger and Gunna music.

Young Thug Requested A Probation Exemption To Allow Contact With Gunna

All those folks who spent the past couple of years calling Gunna a snitch and saying he sold out Young Thug will need to clean some egg off their faces. As part of his plea deal to secure his release, Thugger specifically asked Judge Paige Reece Whitaker to make an exception to his probation stipulation barring contact with his racketeering co-defendants: Gunna. While noting that Gunna is signed to Thug’s label, YSL Records, Thug’s attorney, Brian Steel, also reminded the court that the two frequently perform together. Thug also requested an exception for his brother Quantavious Grier, also known as Unfoonk, who is serving a nine-year sentence after accepting a plea deal of his own.

It was the plea deal accepted by Gunna that prompted suspicions that the younger rapper had “turned rat” on his mentor, with former collaborators like Lil Baby and Lil Durk deeming Gunna a snitch. Gunna addressed such accusations on his 2023 album A Gift & A Curse, while Young Thug’s father stood up for his son’s protégé, asserting that nothing he could say would harm Thug’s defense anyway. Thug’s request suggests that the two rappers are still on good terms — meaning that a follow-up to “Surf,” “Ski,” and “Pushin P” could be on the way soon.
