THUG CROWNS DRAKE Young Thug Blasts Kendrick Lamar From Jail For Refusing A Feature, Says Drake Is The GOAT For Putting People On!
Young Thug Reportedly Frustrated Over Kendrick Lamar’s Refusal to Collaborate on Business Is Business
A newly surfaced leaked jail call has given fans a rare glimpse into the mindset of Atlanta rapper Young Thug as he continues to face legal battles behind bars. In the audio, Thug could be heard expressing frustration over fellow rap superstar Kendrick Lamar, accusing him of not supporting other artists in the industry.
According to the leaked conversation, Young Thug revealed that he had attempted to secure a feature from Kendrick Lamar for his most recent album, Business Is Business. However, Kendrick allegedly declined, leaving Thug disappointed. The rapper didn’t hold back in his criticism, claiming that Kendrick rarely lends verses to help elevate other artists. He even took a jab at Kendrick’s cousin and frequent collaborator Baby Keem, implying that the breakout star’s rise has been more insulated than organic.
Despite venting his frustrations, Thug quickly pivoted to praise Drake, one of his closest collaborators and allies in the music world. He pointed out how Drake has consistently used his platform to boost other artists’ careers, suggesting that this generosity is a key reason for Drake’s unmatched influence and dominance in the hip-hop industry.
“That’s why they’ll never be bigger than Drake, EVER in life,” Thug reportedly said during the call. “You know how many people’s lives Drake changed?” His comments highlight the contrasting reputations between Drake and Kendrick when it comes to collaboration and mentorship within the rap community.
The leaked audio has sparked heated debates among fans online. Supporters of Kendrick argue that the Compton rapper’s selective approach is part of his artistry and not necessarily a sign of selfishness, while others side with Thug, acknowledging how Drake’s openness to features has undeniably shaped the careers of many rising stars.
With Young Thug’s trial still ongoing, moments like these show how hip-hop’s biggest figures continue to weigh heavily on the conversation — even from behind bars. Whether Kendrick will respond to the claims remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the comparisons between him and Drake won’t be ending anytime soon.
