Young Thug Faces Backlash Over Alleged J. Cole and André 3000 Disses

Young Thug is under fire after alleged leaked comments targeting some of hip hop’s biggest names, including J. Cole, André 3000, GloRilla, Kendrick Lamar, and Gucci Mane.

The controversy comes as he navigates legal troubles and a snitching scandal, adding more heat to an already complicated situation.

A clip shared on Twitter reportedly captures Young Thug criticizing J. Cole and André 3000. In the conversation, he questioned why J. Cole had not collaborated with rising artists. “YB the biggest artist in the world on YouTube. Why wouldn’t J. Cole do a song with him?” he allegedly said. He went on to call out artists for avoiding collaborations, explaining, “Like, come on, bruh. You ain’t never in your life sold more records than this boy, this young n***a. F**k is you thinking? Like, tripping. N***a just be on that, ‘Oh, I don’t like your music. I ain’t doing no music with you.’ Man, n****s don’t like y’all n****s’ music either. Ain’t nobody really like that st you’re talking about. N***as just want to do songs, it’s the game we in. It ain’t no Atlanta Falcons ain’t playing the Miami Dolphins because they don’t like the Dolphins. Man, we playing everybody. It’s the sport we in.”

He also targeted André 3000 for not mentoring or supporting younger artists. “André 3000, you’re one of the biggest artists in the world. You became one of the biggest artists in the world. But you ain’t help nobody. You ain’t put nobody on. Now you vintage. Now you goddamn can’t put out a song and go top 50. You see what I’m saying? You put a song out right now, you can’t even go top 50. But you were the biggest artist in the entire world at one point. But you ain’t put nobody on, though. You ain’t did nothing. Ain’t no na saying they got a career off of you. Like, y’all n****s ain’t help nobody. All that cap rap s**t, that rap s**t don’t mean nothing. In 10, 15 years, that s**t don’t mean nothing.”

Thug has also been criticized for mocking GloRilla, prompting her response on social media. He later apologized on Twitter, but fans are still waiting to see if he will address the larger controversy surrounding these alleged comments.
