In a bold move, Young Thug has aimed a direct lyrical jab at Gunna in a recently leaked snippet from an upcoming track. This marks a significant moment in their ongoing feud, highlighting the tensions that have been simmering between the two artists.
During a prominent listening event for Lil Baby’s anticipated album The Leak$, Thugger utilized his guest verse to make a pointed reference to Gunna, which is his most explicit diss since Gunna’s release from incarceration last year. The intensity of his lyrics showcases the unresolved issues that linger between these once-close collaborators.
In the snippet, he raps: “Only reason I fucked with you, Gunna, it was ’cause of Troup,” making a poignant reference to the late Keith B. Troup, a mutual friend and mentor who tragically lost his life in 2015. This line not only indicates their past connection but also underscores the emotional weight of their fallout.
As of now, Gunna has not publicly addressed the diss aimed at him by his former friend, leaving fans and followers eagerly awaiting his response. The tension remains palpable as both artists navigate their respective careers amidst this growing conflict.

Previously, Thugger addressed the status of his relationship with Gunna during an interview with GQ. The journalist inquired about the ongoing rumors regarding their rift and sought clarity on their current standing. However, Thugger offered a somewhat cryptic response, saying, “I know everybody wonders [what our relationship is like now],” before adding, “I don’t know.” This ambiguity has only fueled speculation among fans and industry insiders.
Coinciding with the release of that interview, Young Thug dropped the lead single from his upcoming album Uy Scuti, titled “Money On Money,” featuring Future. The track showcases Thug’s signature style and marks a triumphant return to form, yet it also contains pointed lines that seem directed at Gunna and his controversial decision to accept an Alford plea during the extensive and contentious YSL RICO trial.
On the hook of the song, Thug raps: “These fuck n-ggas tellin’ for nothin’, and I gotta be the one callin’ ’em friends.” This line reflects the disappointment and betrayal Thug feels regarding loyalty among friends in the rap game. He intensifies the accusation in a subsequent verse, stating, “Brother, you a rat (My brother).” This repeated insinuation reinforces the narrative surrounding Gunna’s legal choices.
Thugger continues to assert his stance in another part of the song, declaring: “Twin, you a rat, you smoked, uh.” These lyrics paint a vivid picture of his feelings towards Gunna’s actions, contributing to the ongoing narrative of betrayal and loyalty within the hip-hop community.
Despite Gunna’s consistent denial of ever cooperating with law enforcement, this isn’t the first instance where Thug has seemingly labeled him a “rat.” In a snippet of another track shared on Instagram, Thug can be heard rapping: “Never associate with a rat/ Go and get some money, get a pack.” This sentiment echoes throughout the hip-hop world, where authenticity and loyalty are paramount.
Additionally, Gunna’s former attorney, Steve Sadow, has publicly refuted claims that the rapper cooperated with prosecutors in exchange for a plea deal. This ongoing saga continues to captivate fans and media alike, as the implications of their feud resonate throughout the industry.
