Will we get to enjoy new music from Young Thug soon? Shortly after his release, Thugger broke his silence on social media, sharing his first thoughts after his in-court apology. On Twitter, he posted a brief statement, “Real plea deal jack!” – a short message that left fans guessing, as it could imply many things. However, what truly caught people’s attention was Thug’s next tweet on Sunday (November 3), where he said, “Wham let’s drop one on these rats, Peter.”

For those unaware, “Wham” refers to Lil Baby, Thugger’s close collaborator. Young Thug seemed to be signaling that a joint track with Lil Baby could be his first post-prison release. This hint immediately got fans buzzing with excitement and speculating about what’s next, especially regarding his relationships with Lil Baby and Gunna – his YSL colleague who faced controversy after taking a plea deal nearly two years ago. Both Thugger and Baby had previously hinted publicly at Gunna following the backlash and accusations of him being a “snitch.”
However, things may not be that simple, considering a unique request Young Thug made for his probation conditions. According to his lawyer Brian Steel, Young Thug requested permission to continue making music with Gunna, despite a probation condition preventing him from contacting YSL affiliates. “Gunna is an exceptional artist,” Steel stated in court. “They are contractually obligated, and they frequently collaborate on music.” This statement has left fans puzzled, especially compared to Thug’s recent tweets that appeared somewhat dismissive. Clearly, while their friendship has faced ups and downs, they are still bonded through music.

Fans’ confusion grew even more with a fake AI-generated clip circulating online, supposedly a “first-day-out” verse from Young Thug praising Gunna. However, listeners quickly debunked it as a fabricated product, making fans even more eager for an official statement from Thug about his relationship with Gunna.
Interestingly, during Young Thug’s incarceration, Gunna openly advocated for his mentor’s freedom and denied all “snitching” accusations. This gesture shows that despite controversies and misunderstandings, Gunna remained loyal to YSL and Thugger. Perhaps, after everything, music remains the strongest connection between them, regardless of the turbulence that has passed.
Beyond the personal dynamics, Young Thug’s legal situation has deeply impacted the hip-hop community. His time in prison left a significant void in the industry, missing his unique and creative style. His release is not only a joyous occasion for Thugger but also a shared excitement for hip-hop fans. Many hope that this newfound freedom will allow Thugger to continue his musical journey more meaningfully, steering clear of unnecessary conflicts. Fans are eagerly awaiting new collaborations with Lil Baby and potentially Gunna, both of whom helped build the YSL brand with a unique sound that has influenced an entire generation.

With 2024 coming to a close, fans will continue to closely follow every move Thugger makes. Will he drop a new song with Lil Baby to mark his comeback, or perhaps even release a full album narrating his journey from prison back to life outside? Thug’s recent cryptic tweets have only fueled the public’s excitement. This isn’t just about music; it’s also a story of forgiveness, loyalty, and the journey to find oneself in Young Thug’s complex world.
As the legal landscape shifts, the community is curious to see if he will make positive changes following his recent trials. For an artist as talented and influential as Young Thug, his return could open up many new directions – not only in music but also in how he uses his platform to convey meaningful messages to his fans and young listeners.
Let’s wait and see what Young Thug, after all he’s been through, will bring to the hip-hop world.
