Rich Homie Quan Has Been Officially Subpoenaed In Young Thug Trial

by

Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug have had a complicated relationship over the years. The friends and Rich Gang members have beefed and made up, and now they will face each other on different sides of the court. Thugger’s ongoing trial has subpoenaed Rich Homie Quan to testify before the court in the state of Atlanta. According to official court documents, the rapper will take the stand in the next couple weeks.

DJ Akademiks confirmed the existence of the subpoena on his Instagram. The internet personality took a screenshot from the X (formerly Twitter) fan account Thugger Daily, which included the aforementioned court document. Quan has been subpoenaed, but it’s important to note that the rapper has not issued a statement. In other words, he has not confirmed whether he will cooperate or has already cooperated with Atlanta prosecutors. There has already been speculation that Rich Homie Quan “snitched” on his former Rich Gang brother, which he has denied adamantly.

Rich Homie Quan Has Been Ordered To Take The Stand

In October 2023, the rapper got on Instagram Live to shoot down rumors that he was to blame for Young Thug’s legal situation. “Did I snitch? N**ga, my name ain’t in no paperwork, bro,” he assured fans. “Suck my … did you suck one? Get you up outta here man.” Quan was so adamant that he did not snitch that he offered $1 million to anybody who could prove otherwise. “Find my name on this paperwork,” he added. “Right here, and I’ll give you a million dollars. We could trade [Instagram] Lives.”

Part of the reason fans thought Quan was involved was because footage leaked of the rapper talking about Thug’s YSL organization. The footage gained so much traction in July 2023 that Quan’s manager, Rich Homie Monta, issued a statement. “I don’t think [there’s] a man in this world [that’s] never talked about some type of business or some type of way they felt,” Monta wrote on Instagram. “All you p**sy a*s n**gas do that.”

Young Thug is facing a racketeering conspiracy charge and two gang charges. If convicted, each charge carries a penalty of five to 20 years in prison.

NBA YoungBoy & Rich Gang Reunite For New Song, “Military”

by

NBA YoungBoy has had a relentless year. Dropping seven full-length projects throughout the course of 2022, he’s showing no signs of slowing down.

He returns today for another official link-up with Birdman’s Rich Gang on “Military.” Although the video was released on YoungBoy’s YouTube page in October, the song is now available on streaming services.

Featuring D-Rok on the braggadocios hook, the new track is another hard-hitting banger from the “Make No Sense” rapper.

The two verses from the Baton Rouge native continue his streak as one of the hottest rappers in the game. Through his melodic flows, he’s able to reflect sentimentally on his come-up and simultaneously flex the perks of his lifestyle.

He does so all while sticking to the army-inspired theme of the track, dropping creative references to the title throughout. “Did time, and fished for poles like the military / Whenever the price droppin’ low, gotta catch it / It’s hectic, it’s reckless, it’s bad in my section / That’s a new .223 with that drum on the bottom, I bought it in Texas / Havin’ ’em sticks like I come from the army,” he raps in the first verse.

Birdman allegedly wanted to sign the 23-year-old to Rich Gang in 2018. Although it was never made official, the “Stuntin’ Like My Daddy” rapper has consistently praised him for being “the next biggest superstar in the world.”

Last year, the duo teamed up to drop a 13-track joint mixtape, From The Bayou.

Quotable Lyrics:

Mama wrote his goals inside the obituary
Broke, came home tryna get some money
Still totin’ straps like the military
None of them don’t like YoungBoy
So I guess that’s why they despise me
F*ck all the rules, I’m onto you, fool
4MATIC Maybach, I call it a Minibach
Hustle, my daughter gon’ need her some Similac
What I feel? I don’t care how it turn out
I’m not worried ’bout a thing, we got plenty gats

Young Thug Reunites With Birdman In The ‘Blue Emerald’ Video For The ‘Next Era Of Rich Gang’

by

Birdman reunites the Rich Gang with his “Blue Emerald” video, which features Young Thug. The video marks one of their first collaborations since their hit “Lifestyle,” which shot Young Thug to stardom. The video sees the two cruising in a Rolls-Royce while beautiful women fan themselves with cash in the backseat. Chris Brown, who collaborated with Young Thug in 2020 with the joint mixtape Slime & B, also makes a cameo appearance.

Aside from the fact that he might be colorblind (emeralds are green, dude), Birdman excited fans with the announcement that Rich Gang is returning, teasing the new project, Rich Gang 2, in 2019. This year, he recruited Lil Wayne and Roddy Ricch for the return single “Stunnaman,” marking the first time Birdman and Lil Wayne worked together since 2019’s “Ride Dat” featuring Juvenile.

Young Thug, meanwhile, is working on his next album, Punk, dropping the single “Tick Tock” last week after previewing several other tracks during his NPR Tiny Desk Concert at the end of July. He’s also planning his film debut and appeared on Belly’s “Better Believe.”
