Slim Thug has reacted to the Oceangate submarine tragedy with indifference, saying he doesn’t “feel sorry” for the five billionaires that died.
The Already Platinum rapper took to Instagram Live to share his thoughts on the five billionaires who died on board a missing submersible craft that provided tours of the Titanic shipwreck, and said people should save their sympathies for people who don’t do “dumb shit.”

“I don’t know, I don’t know, them people dead y’all,” Thug said. “They said it on The Simpsons first. Ay, when that documentary come out man? I need to watch that documentary. I need more info. I need more info on what happened man.”
He continued, “Them people gone man. I don’t know what they was thinking about a billionaire should have had more common sense, and then you bring your son? That was double dumb. I’m not sure what happened, but them people don’t deserve our sympathy they clearly on some dumb shit. That was some dumb shit…save your heart and your thoughts for people that really deserve them. Some people be on some dumb shit man.

“Some people just be on some dumb shit. Some people you gotta just say, ‘why the fuck this dumb motherfucker do some dumb shit like that? It don’t make no fucking sense. So I ain’t feeling sorry for them. Y’all can be as mad as y’all want at me, I ain’t feeling sorry for them. They can’t get my sorry. You don’t do no dumb shit like that.”
This isn’t the first time Thug has criticized people who showcase their wealth. The rapper has also previously spoken out about the dangers that come when rappers in particular showcase their riches.
Last February, the 42-year-old posted a picture to Instagram of a man in one frame displaying a large amount of cash while in a separate frame, the same man is getting beaten on the ground by multiple men trying to steal his money.
The Houston native captioned the post: “If ppl on IG who be capping go outside by their self.”
Thug is also stranger to sharing his opinions online, no matter how many people it bothers. In March he took to Instagram to criticize designer outfits, using the term “gay” to describe the luxury clothes.
Slim Thug took a moment to clarify his use of the term — which has historically had a derogatory connotation when used as a descriptor — and said he has no ill feelings towards the LGBTQ+ community.

“Let me show you guys why I still got money and a lot of rappers went broke,” Thug said before showing off a $5.99 T-shirt he just bought. “The $5.99 shirt. Let me see how much the shorts is. The shorts, $12.99. Less than $20. I be in the club with this shit on and you don’t know ’cause I got on a million dollars worth of jewelry.”
He continued: “But y’all be buying that designer. Y’all be looking gay ’cause all the designers are gay and I’m the only one standing out here. There be 10 of y’all standing around with the same Christian Dior shirt, 10 of y’all with the same Gucci shirt, and I be standing out with the plain T that cost me $5.”
“Same as a happy meal or less. That’s how you stay rich longer. I just wanted to give y’all that game today,” he added.
