Young Thug beat his YSL Rico case months ago, and now, he is preparing his first comeback album. UY SCUTI does not have a release date, although we should be getting it very soon. Having said that, Thugger has been going viral as of late thanks to his comments about snitches.
"If u a rapper and u a rat, u gotta just go gospel twin," the artist tweeted on Monday. Of course, many fans immediately took this as a shot at Gunna. While some certainly agreed with the sentiment, others were not so enthusiastic about it.
For instance, DJ Akademiks leveled a response to Young Thug on social media. "Somebody gotta tell Young Thug that he's the last rapper on earth who cares who SNITCHING," Akademiks wrote. "Lowkey half these n***** telling and the ones telling make the best music. Fans don't give af."
Young Thug saw these comments and made it a point to respond. "That's actually crazy but true, except the making the best music part," he wrote.
At the end of the day, it is easy to see why Thugger would have such strong feelings towards snitching. The YSL Rico case could have put him in prison for the rest of his life. However, the prosecution had a messy case, and he was able to get away with 15 years of probation.
During the trial, there were all sorts of rumors about Gunna's role in all of this and whether or not he would be Thug's downfall. In the end, the Gunna snitching allegations are just that, allegations. No one truly knows exactly what went down there.
Having said that, fans are very excited about Thug's return to music. His new album promises to boast a star-studded cast, and we're sure the artist is just excited to show people what he's capable of. Rap fans have been wanting this project for years.
Not for the first time, Moby is speaking out against Donald Trump’s administration with clear frustration.
“The U.S. is collapsing under a deeply corrupt and shockingly ineffective administration,” the longtime electronic musician shared on social media. “These are unbelievably dark times.”
Moby went deeper into his thoughts through a video message, where he explained that people outside the United States keep asking Americans what is actually happening in the country.
“So many of my friends outside the United States keep asking me, ‘what the hell is happening over there?’ And honestly, we don’t even know,” he said. “The country is being controlled by one of the most corrupt, dangerous and incompetent administrations imaginable. Nobody fully understands what’s happening right now. These are very dark times in America.”
Moby joins a growing list of artists publicly criticizing Trump and MAGA politics, including Bruce Springsteen, Jack White, Eminem and Billie Eilish.
Earlier this year, Moby uploaded another statement to social media where he addressed how people should respond following the killing of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis. “The real question isn’t whether people should feel horrified or outraged by what’s happening in the United States,” Moby explained in the Jan. 26 clip. “The question is what are we actually going to do about it?”
The musician and activist also encouraged people to protest, saying demonstrations are a constitutional right and something he believes Trump’s administration is attempting to weaken.
In the end, he urged people to vote regularly, “not only during the upcoming midterms, even though those matter, but also in every special election throughout the year.” He also encouraged supporters to “stop giving money to the scumbag corporations backing Trump and ICE. We all know who they are. Boycott them.”
His newest remarks arrive as the U.S. Justice Department unveils a nearly $1.8 billion compensation fund for Trump allies who claim they were unfairly investigated. At the same time, the Strait of Hormuz remains shut down following military action launched by the U.S. and Israel against Iran in late February without approval from Congress, leading to rising gas prices across the globe.
Throughout his independent music career, Moby has earned 10 entries on the Billboard 200 along with two songs on the Billboard Hot 100 and an enormous catalog of sync placements. Overseas, particularly in the United Kingdom, he is viewed as one of the defining artists of his era. He scored two No. 1 albums there with Play from 1999 and 18 from 2002, alongside 18 top 40 singles and two nominations for Best International Male at the BRIT Awards.
