Drake: “I Can’t Wait for New Young Thug Music”
While giving away lavish prizes during the highly anticipated “Drizzmas Giveaway,” Drake took a moment to acknowledge his admiration for Atlanta’s very own Young Thug. When asked by streamer Adin Ross about his thoughts on Thug’s return to the music scene, Drake replied enthusiastically, “I can’t wait for new Young Thug music. Welcome home, Thug.”
Young Thug, released last month after accepting a plea deal in his high-profile RICO case, has been a central figure in hip-hop discussions. The 6 God and Thug share a strong bond, previously collaborating on Thug’s June album Business is Business.
It’s rumored that Drake gifted Thug a whopping $1 million following his release—an unconfirmed act of generosity that reflects their close friendship. In a heartfelt gesture before his release, Young Thug had taken to X (formerly Twitter) to call for a truce between Drake and Future, who later acknowledged the request with a repost. This gesture marks a potential end to the tension between the two hip-hop titans, with Future addressing their rift in GQ just last month.
