Thug can be heard saying: “These n-ggas too big, like ‘I ain’t doing no features,’ why? Why wouldn’t you wanna do a feature for a superstar?”
He adds: “Put somebody on! It’s okay to run your few hundred M’s up, but who’d you help, though?”

Thugger goes on to negatively compare Kendrick to Drake: “You supposed to be a n-gga blessing niggas. That’s why these n-ggas will never be bigger than Drake, ever in life.”
Kendrick is yet to respond to the leaked comments.
A number of phone calls made by the rapper while he was behind bars have surfaced in recent days.
In one call, Thugger can be heard going off on Gunna for taking a plea deal during YSL’s RICO case.
In the snippet of the call, Thugger appears to believe that his former friend and collaborator made his deal in the longrunning and controversial case in order to see a woman.
He can be heard saying: “I wish he never get pussy no more, he will never get another dollar in the world, you don’t deserve nothing. Did that shit to get out for a hoe.”
Thug adds: “I’m in the same position you in n-gga. I’m a man though, I ain’t doing no sucker shit.”
Young Thug himself was forced to deny snitching on YSL associate Peewee Roscoe after audio of his interrogation was leaked online.
Thugger can be heard mentioning Roscoe but quickly went to social media to deny he was doing anything but help him.
He wrote on X: “They didn’t play my interrogation video in court cause I helped my brada #Ratwhere?”
Snitching has been a recurring theme throughout the controversial YSL RICO case with Gunna accused by many of assisting the prosecution in return for a plea deal, something he and his lawyer have strenuously denied.
