Frenemies? Young Thug took to X (formerly Twitter) this weekend to make his feelings about Gunna pretty clear—or at least, that’s what fans thought before he quickly deleted the tweet. Thugger’s message stirred up plenty of buzz, with many wondering if this signals a real rift between the two rappers or just another chapter in a complicated relationship.

After reaching a probation deal last week, Thug’s attorney requested permission for the two to continue working together, and the judge approved it. But Thug’s now-deleted tweet painted a different picture: “Gunna stop acting like we friends on the internet, I don’t know u my guy.” With the post vanishing almost as quickly as it appeared, fans were left to piece together the status of their friendship and what might have gone wrong.
Young Thug and Gunna go way back, with Gunna joining Young Stoner Life Records early in his career. Together, they became a powerful force in the rap world, dropping some unforgettable tracks like “Hot” and “Dollaz on My Head,” which fans consider among the best collaborations in modern rap. Their chemistry has been undeniable—Thug’s street-hood style paired perfectly with Gunna’s laid-back, melodic flow.
However, things started to shift with the 2022 YSL RICO case, when both rappers were charged and Gunna ultimately accepted a plea deal. While Gunna maintains his plea didn’t involve testifying against anyone, some fans—and possibly Thug himself—viewed it as a betrayal. That sentiment seemed to echo in Thug’s tweet, adding to the mystery of where they stand today.
Fans were quick to react, with opinions split across the board. Some took Thug’s tweet as confirmation that he sees Gunna as a snitch, while others accused Thug of biting the hand that feeds him, as Gunna’s recent projects have been commercially successful and continue to bring in revenue for the label.
One fan wrote, “So he’s a rat,” complete with a rat emoji. Another criticized Thug for “coming for Gunna” while the rapper was still helping YSL thrive, suggesting that if he “dropped” Gunna, it might hurt his label’s numbers.
Even Lil Baby’s nickname, “Wham,” was thrown into the conversation after Thug’s previous post about “dropping one on these rats, Peter.” This cryptic message fueled speculation that he might be referencing Gunna indirectly, especially given Lil Baby’s rumored tension with Gunna.
Adding to the intrigue, Thug’s recent online activity could risk drawing legal scrutiny, especially as he’s been prohibited from promoting gang activity on social media. Some fans even joked that “the judge is watching Thug’s tweets” with gifs and laughing emojis, highlighting the potential consequences of his posts.
So, what’s next for Thugger and Gunna? Are they drifting apart for good, or could they still mend their bond? Either way, this situation has the rap world holding its breath, waiting to see if one of hip-hop’s strongest partnerships can survive the strain.
