Young Thug Says ‘Broke’ Men Shouldn’t Be Able to Have Kids
Young Thug is putting broke men on blast.
The YSL rapper went on Instagram Live last week to share his controversial views about men having children without the means to support them. According to Thug, there should be rules against reproducing unless you’re financially fit.
“God need to set some rules, bruh, we need new rules,” he said, according to Complex. “We need a new oath, bruh. If you dead broke, if you a broke-ass ni**a, you should not be able to nut.”
It’s unclear what inspired his rant, but Thug let it be known that he has no sympathy. “You bringing poor kids into this world and you making n***as rob and kill and steal ’cause you running around with no type of career, no nothing,” he continued. “Having kids, now your kids growing up wanting shit, your kids growing up looking at Thug and his game.”
According to Thug, the same goes for women who aspire to live lavishly despite their economic status. “When you ain’t got nothing, worth nothing, don’t have a future, your job don’t got nothing to do with what you went to school for, you got to adjust to whatever a ni**a do for you,” he said.
Added Thug, “You can’t want top-tier situations and you’re the bottom of the barrel… Bitches be dead ass broke wantin’ a Birkin. Bitch, where the hell you gon’ put the Birkin, in the Uber? Y’all hoes tryna go to step 10 from zero.”
In March, a suspect was arrested in connection with the murder of LaKevia Jackson, the mother of Thug’s 14-year-old son, Kyvion Jackson. The man allegedly shot and killed Jackson following a dispute at an Atlanta bowling alley.
Thug, who can be heard on Future’s new album I Never Liked You, has also been teasing new music. He recently shared the artwork for what appears to be a new project.
Future Reveals His ‘I Never Liked You’ Tracklist, Which Features Drake, Kanye West, Tems, And More
When you think about it, it’s kind of fitting that Future’s new album, which is titled I Never Liked You, features both Drake and Kanye West. For one thing, those two can’t seem to decide if they love or hate each other and for another, they are also two of the only artists who can really keep up with Future’s penchant for pettiness. They’re just two of the guests who appear on the tracklist for the album, which Future shared today.
Some of the other guests are no surprise; after all, Future graced Gunna’s hit single “Pushin P” alongside Young Thug earlier this year, so it’s only right that his ATL brethren return the favor on a similarly ridiculously titled song, “For A Nut.” And Kodak Black makes sense since he’s on something of a comeback tour of feature appearances despite his past behavior (and let’s face it, Future isn’t exactly known for being respectful of women, either).
But the name that really jumps off the list is Nigerian singer Tems, who exploded into popularity last year via Wizkid’s “Essence” and has slowly started to become a force in her own right. She appears on a song with Drake (one of two featuring the What A Time To Be Alive collaborator), which increases the intrigue that much more. We’ll see what the results of the eyebrow-raising musical collaboration sound like on Friday, April 29, when I Never Liked You drops via Freebandz and Epic.

Antonio Brown Drops His New Album ‘Paradigm,’ Featuring Young Thug, Fivio Foreign And DaBaby
While Antonio Brown won’t be catching any passes from NFL quarterbacks anytime soon, the wide receiver-turned-rapper just dropped a new album.

Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash Announces 2022 Lineup f/ Young Thug, Gunna, Playboi Carti, Post Malone as Headliners
Post Malone, Playboi Carti, And Gunna With Young Thug Are Headlining Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash Fest
When music festivals started making their slow return last year, Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash welcomed 90,000 people to Chicago’s Douglass Park in August. The fest put on by hip-hop tastemakers Lyrical Lemonade and production company SPKRBX has grown into the biggest hip-hop festival in the Midwest. Now moving back to its usual mid-June weekend dates (17th – 19th), the 2022 edition’s lineup has some serious heavy-hitters at the top in Post Malone, Playboi Carti, and the first every collaborative performance from Gunna and Young Thug.
“We’ve leveled up the entire experience,” said Festival Director Berto Solorio in a statement. “We can’t wait to show our fans what we have in store this summer including bigger music acts performing on bigger stages, plus more food trucks, improved amenities, and more art installations than ever before.”
They’ve certainly delivered on today’s complete lineup drop, which is also set to feature performances from Wiz Khalifa, Polo G, Trippie Redd, 2 Chainz, Ski Mask Tha Slump God, Yeat, G Herbo, Rico Nasty, Key Glock, Lil Tecca, Key Glock, and a lot more in a thorough three-day slate. If there’s one knock, it’s the complete absence of gender parity among these talented names. But so it goes with most hip-hop festivals. Regardless, check out the lineup poster below.
Summer Smash tickets go on sale on Friday 04/08 at 10 am CST at TheSummerSmash.com.
