Elton John gave props to Young Thug in an interview with Noisy last year which started rumors that the two would work together eventually. Though a collaboration has yet to happen, the two met with each other in Atlanta recently for a photo opp fueling more rumors.
Thugger posted two photos on his Instagram page with the iconic pop musician known for classics including “Bennie And The Jets” and “Honky Cat” today (March 23). One featured the Barter 6 rapper handing Sir Elton a Young Thug branded jacket. In another, Elton can be seen wearing a Thugger hat.
This isn’t the first time Elton has aligned himself with Hip Hop. The Empty Sky artists accompanied Eminem during a performance of “Stan” during the 2001 Grammy Awards following complaints of Shady’s homophobic lyrics. Considering Thug’s non-gender conforming aesthetic and questionable rhymes, seeing the two possibly working together should have many people talking.

Speaking from Federal Prison in Miami where he is serving the fifth of his ten year sentence for drug related offenses, Buju Banton, in a statement ,explains why the “music is suffering and sadness is prevailing.”
“Tell my fans do not be distracted by all the things that are taking place around them, because it is designed to throw them off kilter, to make moral decadence even more widespread than it already is, and plunge people into a state of darkness.”
“They’re trying to reverse the progress that we have made over the years through the music. And now the music is meaningless. It doesn’t stimulate, it doesn’t educate, it doesn’t reinvigorate.”
“All it does is get you angry, because it’s filled with nothing but narcissists exalting themselves over the earthly possessions that they have managed to get. They don’t even have anything, it’s crumbs.”
“Therefore, the music is suffering. The people are suffering. Sadness and gloom is prevailing. It’s widespread. But be patient. Because suffering may endure for the night, but joy cometh in the morning,” Buju’s statement said
