Young Thug has joked that he wants to quit rapping to make the kind of money professional streamers bring in.
Appearing on Adin Ross’ Kick stream, Thugger found out that the controversial streamer was making millions of dollars appeared interested in a career change.
He said: “I’ma stop doing music and start streaming. I think I’m gonna stop. I’m telling ya, I’m done rapping and gonna start streaming.”
Thug then reasoned why he wanted to make the switch: “Y’all live a cool life. Y’all go everywhere everyday. Y’all got cats wondering around this bitch. Y’all got all types of crazy stuff.”

Ross also attempted to get Thugger to reveal the release date for his upcoming album Uy Scuti but was stonewalled by the Atlanta rap star.

Despite being coy about when the album is dropping, Young Thug has been rolling out the project and also been employing some unusual tactics.
Ahead of the release, select members of the press have been sent packages which when opened reveal a live spider.
The packages also include the message: “Take care of me until we reach UY SCUTI.”
No exact date for Uy Scuti has yet been revealed by Thugger, only that it will release this month.

He has also only dropped the one single “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.”
In an interview with GQ, Thug refused to clarify his relationship with his YSL cohort who has faced accusations of snitching ever since he agreed to a plea deal.
Asked about the current status of their relationship, Thug replied: “I know everybody wonders [what our relationship is like now]. I don’t know.”
