Earlier this week, a fan spotted a billboard that reads: “UNIVERSE HAS BEEN TOO QUIET. UNTIL NOW. UY SCUTI.”

At the bottom, May 2025 is listed with the actual date replaced with question marks.
This comes just a few weeks after Young Thug held up a jersey that had “UY SCUTI #5” printed on the back at the Heat versus Warriors game, so fans figured this was the name of the album – which will be his first since his release from jail.
Last month, Thug got into a social media spat with a fan after they compared him to Playboi Carti over the new album.
“Yall mfers goin have to beg me to drop this shit nocizzy,” he wrote on X.

One user took issue with Thugger’s post and hit back: “U NOT CARTI LIL BRA,” referencing the long-delayed release of Carti’s latest LP Music.
hat prompted a snappy response from the YSL leader, who wrote back: “I wonder who’s couch you’re on tweeting this.”
After Thugger’s clap-back went viral, receiving over 100,000 likes on the platform, the fan quickly backed down and issued an apology.
“Dear Young Thug (Uy Scuti, King Spider, Jeffery, Sex, Thugger), I hope this message finds you well. I want to take a moment to sincerely apologize for the disrespectful comment I made when I said, ‘U NOT CARTI LIL BRA.’ That was completely out of line, and I deeply regret it,” they replied.

“You are a trailblazer, a legend, and an artist whose influence has shaped the sound and culture of music in ways that go far beyond comparison. My words were thoughtless and fail to reflect the admiration I have for you and your craft.”
The back-and-forth comes shortly after Young Thug appeared to kickstart the rollout for his new album with the aforementioned jersey.
Uy Scuti, which is the name of a supergiant star, is also an Instagram account which only follows Thugger and is followed back by the rapper.
