Young Thug Has Removed Gunna Album Links From IG Bio

Young Thug has removed Gunna‘s album links from his Instagram bio less than 24 hours after displaying them in an apparent show of support for his embattled label mate.

Eagle-eye fans noticed on Thursday (April 27) that Thugger had updated his Instagram bio link, which pointed to all streaming links to Gunna’s 2022 album, DS4Ever.

The effort was Gunna’s third studio album and arrived just months before him and Thug along with over a dozen of their fellow YSL members were put behind bars as part of a sweeping RICO indictment.

Thug is featured on the album as well as Future, 21 Savage, Drake, Kodak Black, Chlöe, Lil Baby, G Herbo, Nechie, Yung Bleu, Chris Brown and Roddy Ricch.

It didn’t take long for fans of the “Pick Up The Phone” rapper to speculate that he’d stood up for a snitch, with comments flying on social media speculating about the true reason for the promotion of Gunna’s work.

Now, however, the speculation will have to remain just that.

Gunna was released from jail in December after signing an Alford plea and in turn pleading guilty to a racketeering conspiracy charge. He was sentenced to five years with one year served due to the time he spent behind bars after being arrested last May – leading many to believe he “snitched” on his longtime collaborator and label head.

Thug’s post seemed to speak to the pair being on good terms, and Gunna himself has long since denied any allegations to the contrary.

“While I have agreed to always be truthful, I want to make it perfectly clear that I have NOT made any statements, have NOT been interviewed, have NOT cooperated, have NOT agreed to testify or be a witness for or against any party in the case and have absolutely NO intention of being involved in the trial process in any way,” he said in a statement following his release from jail.

Gunna’s plea deal has been a talking point amongst rappers and fans alike, and following an Okayplayer article that interviewed legal experts to discuss Alford pleas, Gunna’s legal team commented on the story and reaffirmed their client’s innocence, claiming he “never” cooperated with authorities.

“Gunna has never been interviewed by or cooperated with law enforcement or prosecutors in the RICO case,” the statement read. “Nor have his attorneys proffered information on his behalf.”
