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.

There is no question that Clipse’s Let God Sort Em Out made a serious impact and continues to hold weight. The project showed that hip hop is not limited by age and proved that a long-awaited return can still land in a major way regardless of the time away.
If you need a reminder, the Virginia duo’s fourth studio album debuted comfortably within the top five of the Hot 200. It secured the number four position and moved an impressive 118,000 units in its first week.
On top of that, it picked up a win at this year’s Grammys, earning Best Rap Performance for “Chains & Whips.” The album also received four additional nominations, including Best Music Video, Rap Album, and Album of the Year.
It is hard to believe the project will officially hit its one year mark this summer on July 11. Even so, Pusha T is making it clear that both supporters and critics should not be overlooking it anytime soon.
While performing at Coachella yesterday, King Push told the crowd that LGSEO still sits at the top, regardless of genre.
He said, “‘Let God Sort Em Out’ is still the album of the motherfckin year. Whole new year, still album of the year,” per Kurrco. “Album of the motherfcking year until we drop again. We don't care who dropping. It don't matter.”
That is a strong statement for obvious reasons, especially considering the recent claims surrounding Push himself.
Over the same weekend, hip hop social media lit up after several alleged reference tracks connected to Quentin Miller and Push began circulating. Three tracks surfaced in total, but one that drew the most attention was an alleged record titled “Real Gon’ Come.” It is said to come from the DAYTONA era, around 2017 to 2018.
The situation gained traction because fans remember the past tension between Drake and Pusha T before Drake’s clash with Kendrick Lamar. During that feud, Pusha accused Drake of using ghostwriters on tracks like “Infrared,” which appears on DAYTONA. On that song, he raps, “The bigger question is how the Russians did it /
It was written like Nas, but it came from Quentin.”
Reactions have been mixed. Some people argue it is not a major issue since Miller’s alleged contributions were limited to hooks. Others point out that the songs were never officially released, so they see no real problem. Meanwhile, critics view it as clear hypocrisy on Pusha T’s part, a perspective that DJ Akademiks has also supported.
