Want Me Dead

Young Thug Denied Dissing Saweetie On ‘Business Is Business’ By Clarifying The Lyric In Question

by

Given his current legal affairs, Young Thug’s ability to speak directly with his fan base is limited. However, the “Parade On Cleveland” rapper has nothing but space and opportunity to get several messages out via his new album, Business Is Business. After the initial excitement of the project wore off, fans began to take a deep dive into the lyrics speculating that his former friend Gunna wasn’t the only one to be dissed on a track (although he wasn’t a target either).

Several supporters jumped onto social media to accuse Young Thug of dissing Saweetie on his track “Want Me Dead,” which features 21 Savage. The lyric in question reads, “My n**** ain’t even tryna hit sweetie / That b*tch turn me off, no kizzy.” While Young Thug is not above being shady on a record, he ensured this wasn’t one of those instances.

To make it crystal clear, Young Thug took to Twitter to deny dissing Saweetie but also took it a step further to clarify that stanza. “Her name is Saweetie. I said, sweetie. #BusinessIsBusiness,” wrote the entertainer.

Young Thug, for context in another tweet, wrote, “Also, that song is 6 years old,” to nip the rumor in the bud.

Listen to the track above.

Business Is Business is out now via 300 Entertainment/Atlantic Records. Find more information here.

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

21 Savage’s discography is impressive enough on its own, but when the Atlanta-based artist jumps on a feature, you can almost always guarantee he’ll end up bodying the original artist. Some of his most popular joint efforts in recent memory include “Jimmy Cooks” with Drake, along with the entirety of their Her Loss album. He was also a standout on Metro Boomin’s HEROES & VILLAINS project, giving us bars on bars alongside The Weeknd on “Creepin’.”

For his latest release, the SAVAGE MODE rapper has once again joined forces with Young Thug, showing out on two separate tracks from the YSL leader’s BUSINESS IS BUSINESS album. In the first half, we hear him team up with Travis Scott and Yak Gotti for Thugger’s “Wit Da Racks.” Later on, he returns once again, this time on “Want Me Dead” as the lone guest appearance.

“Came from the bottom and I made it to the other side, nah, I ain’t use no ferry / Opps be smokin’ on ni**as they ain’t step on, them ni**as funny, Jim Carrey,” Savage cleverly rhymes halfway through his verse. “Y’all ni**as p*ssy, it’s all on your breath / Go against me, that s**t bad for your health,” the 30-year-old reminds listeners as his turn on the mic comes to an end.
