Young Thug Appears To Diss "Rat" Gunna On New Song Snippet

Young Thug is cooking up. The rapper has been hard at work since his release from jail, and it sounds like fans are about to reap the benefits. Thug has not put out any new music in the months since he was made a free man. He has, however, been teasing pieces of songs via social media. Thursday, January 2 proved to be a huge day for Young Thug fans. He treated fans to not one but two snippets of new songs. The first was a teaser of his Future and Lil Baby collab, "Dum, Dumb and Dumber." The second was an untitled song that came with a blatant diss.

Young Thug posted the second snippet to his Instagram. The rapper can be seen vibing out to the song, which features aggressive bars over a spaced-out instrumental. "Never associate with a rat," Thug raps. "Go and get some money, get a pack." He doesn't mention anybody by name, but the comment section quickly filled up with theories about Gunna. Young Thug and Gunna had a pretty high profile falling out, with many theorizing that Gunna snitched on his YSL boss. The snippet marks the first time Young Thug has spoken about "rats" since his release from jail.

Young Thug Claims To Not Associate With "Rats"

The rapper is not alone is his disdain for an unnamed "rat." Lil Baby, who will feature Young Thug on his new album, WHAM, expressed a similar sentiment during a Safe Place podcast appearance. He told Lil Yachty that he makes a point of not working with artists that he considers to be snitches. "It boils down to what we rapping about," Lil Baby explained. "We can't rap about that if you did that. If I was making Christmas music, then I don't give a damn what you did."

Interestingly enough, Gunna was one of the few artists Young Thug requested to work with after he was released from jail. Thugger's lawyer, Brian Steel, claimed Gunna was a "phenomenal artist" and that the duo "frequently perform music together." The lawyer also noted that Thugger and Gunna were obligated to work together from a contractual standpoint. This request makes the rapper's bar about "rats" a bit confusing. Either the rapper still feels a type of way about Gunna, or he's referring to someone else as a "rat" in his music. Time will tell.

Young Thug shares first verse since release on Lil Baby’s new album ‘WHAM’ – featuring Future, GloRilla and more

Lil Baby has released his new album ‘WHAM’, featuring Young Thug‘s first verse since being released from prison.

Released today (January 3), ‘WHAM’ – which is short for “Who Hard As Me” – is comprised of 15 tracks and sees the Atlanta rapper team up with the likes of GloRilla on ‘Readbone’, Rod Wave and Rylo Rodriguez on ‘Be Myself’, Travis Scott on ‘Stuff’ and 21 Savage on ‘Outfit’.

Most notably, Lil Baby is joined by Future and Young Thug on ‘Dum, Dumb, and Dumber’, which also marks the latter’s first verse since being released from jail last year. The rapper takes a moment to address his situation in the interlude prior to his verse, rapping: “I don’t even believe I was locked up, for real, for real / I was havin’ my way the whole time, fool, you know what I’m sayin’?.”

 

Thug took to his official X/Twitter account earlier today to clear up one of his bars on the track and explained: “When I said these U.S bitches kinda bad I meant “bad girls” not ugly girls.. we got the prettiest girls on earth…”

Back in 2022, Young Thug – real name Jeffery Lamar Williams – was arrested and spent two years in prison on gang-related charges. He was then charged with seven additional felonies. In November, the rapper was released from jail after pleading guilty to gang, drug and gun charges, ending the longest criminal trial in Georgia history.

The ‘Slime Language’ rapper was originally arrested alongside fellow rapper Gunna, who are both involved with the musical collective YSL (Young Stoner Life), which prosecutors accused of being “a criminal street gang”.

Both musicians had denied their charges, with the former having his bail denied three times.

‘WHAM’ marks Lil Baby’s first full-length release since 2022’s ‘It’s Only Me‘. In a three-star review of the LP, NME shared: “Fortunately, closer ‘Russian Roulette’ bookends the album with a sentiment that mirrors the record’s introductory track as Lil Baby peers into the farthest corners of his musicality. If the trimmings were removed from ‘It’s Only Me’, it might rival his previous releases – instead, it’s a few notches shy of greatness”

In other news, Young Thug recently made his first post-trial appearance in an Instagram video with T.I.
