Young Thug Teases Collaboration With NBA YoungBoy

Elliot Montanez, director of operations for Lyrical Lemonade, commented in a statement about Thugger finally getting to perform at the festival: “In a weird way, all of that happened with Summer Smash being one of the shows he was about to do before he went away for a little bit, and now Summer Smash being the first show [he’s doing] fresh out, it is full circle.

“I just think it’s interesting. I’m definitely glad that moment will be at Summer Smash, where fans will interact with him in person for the first time in a minute. But it’s a beautiful, full-circle moment.”

Thugger recently joked about quitting music to become a full time streamer.

Appearing on Adin Ross’ Kick stream, Thugger found out that the controversial streamer was making millions of dollars and 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.”
