A fresh leak from behind bars has Young Thug venting to 21 Savage about why he’s done with Gunna—and it’s not about beats or money. It’s personal.
Thug accused Gunna of taking that Alford plea back in December 2022 simply to “get home for a woman,” not for loyalty or the culture. “I wish he never get pussy no more,” Thug said raw in the call. “He did that shit to get out… did that for a ho.” He added, “I’m a man though—I ain’t doing no sucker shit.” His tone? Cold. His message? Clear. HipHopDX
Snitch Talk & Industry Fallout
This all happens in the shadow of the YSL RICO case—a legal storm that hauled Thug, Gunna, and others into the system in 2022. Gunna’s plea raised eyebrows: Atlanta culture saw it as a betrayal. While Gunna and his team insist he never cooperated or testified, Thug sees it differently. He argued in the call the label turned into a RICO setup because Wunna only knew a few guys—and didn’t ride through. He accused Gunna of snatching his own freedom at the expense of loyalty.

21 Savage Chimes In
At one point, 21 puts it bluntly: “They jumped the gun”—referring to everyone in hip-hop rushin’ to diss Gunna for clout. Thug agrees, but only after he’s already made his stance known. The damage? It’s done. Gunna’s now a ghost on YSL platforms, and their relationship feels irreparable. primetimer.com
Thug’s Power Moves & Subtle Sabotage
In another leaked snippet, Thug boasts about controlling drop dates. He joked he could’ve dropped Business Is Business on the same day as Gunna’s A Gift & a Curse, to overshadow it. Even though he didn’t follow through, the comment shows the mindset: he holds the power—and he knows it. HotNewHipHop
The Aftermath
What started as mentorship now feels like a complete disconnect. Gunna’s new music—like Bread & Butter—addresses the snitch accusations head-on, calling out those who switched sides. Meanwhile, Thug’s denying any hypocrisy, even pointing to a leaked interrogation clip where he named Peewee Roscoe—but says it was about protecting him, not snitching.
Bottom Line
In Thug’s eyes, loyalty isn’t just an idea—it’s a code. And Gunna? He broke it. The cold truth is this: from the jailhouse call to public disses, this isn’t just a rift—it’s a statement. A cautionary tale about power, loyalty, and what happens when rules get bent in the name of freedom.
Do you think the two will ever be able to work things out in the future?
