Young Thug does not appear to have wasted any time in dissing Gunna as he gears up to release his first album since he agreed a plea deal in his RICO case last year.
Earlier today, Thugger dropped the lead single from upcoming album Uy Scuti titled “Money On Money” featuring Future.
While the track is a bombastic return to the Atlanta star’s best, it is most notable for some lines that appear to be aimed at his former friend and his decision to take an Alford plea during YSL’s long-running and controversial RICO trial.
On the song’s hook, Thug raps: “These fuck n-ggas tellin’ for nothin’, and I gotta be the one callin’ ’em friends.”

He later spits: “Brother, you a rat (My brother).”
Thugger also reiterated the accusation in a subsequent verse: “Twin, you a rat, you smoked, uh.”
Gunna has always denied snitching on Young Thug but it is not the first time his label boss has appeared to label him a rat.

On a snippet of a track he posted on his Instagram, Thug could be heard rapping: “Never associate with a rat/ Go and get some money, get a pack.”
Gunna’s former lawyer, Steve Sadow, also denied that the rapper had cooperated with prosecutors in exchange for a plea.
Sadow said: “I was Gunna’s attorney but I am NOT speaking on his behalf. This long post is solely to set out the truth. Gunna did NOT cooperate, and did NOTHING and said NOTHING to cause harm to Thug’s case. He spent 8 months in jail and was released in Dec. 2022 after entering an Alford plea. Gunna’s plea could not and was not used at Thug’s trial and he was never even named as a witness. He received a 5-yr suspended sentence, with no reporting, no travel restrictions, no living restrictions, AND NO PROBATION.

“Over the last two years, from media reports, he has performed all over the world, achieved international fame and recognition, and earned millions of dollars. Conversely, Thug went to trial and eventually pled guilty and nolo after spending 30-months in jail, received 15 years probation, with reporting conditions and is not even allowed to live in Atlanta. THOSE THAT HAVE AND CONTINUE TO BAD MOUTH GUNNA, GET OVER IT. NUFF’ SAID.”
