Young Thug is no longer Young Thug, according to 300 Entertainment co-founder Lyor Cohen.
In a recent interview with Rap Radar, Thugger’s label boss explained the name change and said there’s a commercial coming soon that will reveal the re-branding.
“Young Thug is not going to be Young Thug anymore. His new name is gonna be ‘No, My Name Is Jeffery,'” he said. “And the reality is when you see this commercial you’re all gonna understand what we do at 300.”
He spoke about how Thug’s new name is part of his evolution as an artist, and seemed serious about the transition.
“Please respect us to actually segue and utilize his name going forward, ok? Because it’s important,” Cohen said.
Meanwhile, NMNIJ continued to promote his upcoming Jeffery project, with a handwritten tracklist and some posts that hinted at an August 16 release date, which would mean it comes out the same day that he turns 25.
It’s tough to decipher some of the track titles, but the running theme seems to be that the songs are named after celebrities, including Floyd Mayweather, Elton John and Birdman.

Change his name?
Piss in a jar and call it “grannies peach tea”, cover shit w syrup and call it pancakes….a name change isn’t needed; talent is!
I know dats right. He still garbage!
Fuck this cross dressing phaggot
Why is it spelled different on the bags in the photo
Respect them? When Young Thug doesn’t even open his mouth on tracks? And Cohen keep flooding the scene with wackness for profit?
Y’all seen his freestyles? Hilarious. Instead of changing those teeth of his and his name, he need to change that style.

Look at him. He looks so happy surrounded by material things (the “jeffrey” shopping bags). Look how empty he is, soulless shallow person who contributes nothing but negative energy to the universe. He will never be able to find purpose in his life, and he will never be truly happy and content.
Look at you, worried about a celebrity. Sending out negative energy about a person that you don’t even know. I’m not going to cast random judgment about you nor your future, as you did. God bless your soul.
This breaking news has just come in. The Justice Department is seeking to indict both Cohen and Thugger as well as Birdman Sandusky on charges of consipring to ruin not only HipHop but the listeners ability to ever enjoy music again. Investigators are said to believe that some questionable behaviors as well as some maybe unlawful lewd acts are going on behind the scenes with this trio that may violate more than one law. Mean while BirdMan continues rubbing his hands together as Cohen rocks his fragile hips back and forth in Thuggers direction with little too no concern for what Thugger is mumbling as he proceeds with the odd adoption process thats ongoing between him and BirdMan. For the latest updates regarding this investigation stay tuned for altest installment of Weezy Wednesdays….
He acted like a gay cartoon and now gets mocked the whole time and nobody takes him seriously so he thinks by changing his name he is gonna be able to get some credibility or some respect, its not gonna work cause the social media, blogs and comments love to destroy celebritys and he gives too deam much material
