The ongoing leaks of Young Thug’s jail conversations are continuing to stir up socials, and his latest comments put Kendrick Lamar and Drake at the center of debate once again.
First off, Thugger is a Drake ally, and he’s been made that known in and out of jail, standing on ten toes.
Thug used one call to weigh in on the way Kendrick approaches collaboration compared to Drake. While reflecting on his 2023 project Business Is Business, he suggested Kendrick’s selective nature has kept him from reaching the same level of influence. “You supposed to be a n**** blessing ns,” Thug said when speaking on Kendrick. “That’s why these ns will never be bigger than Drake, EVER in life.”
For Thug, the point was clear. He sees Drake’s dominance not just in his chart success but in his consistent decision to share his platform with others. Over the course of more than a decade, Drake has boosted careers by linking up with artists early, from Migos and Future to Lil Baby, while also experimenting across genres and crossing borders to expand his global reach. Those moves, Thug argued, have kept him firmly at the top of the game.
It’s clear that the leaked call also reflected Thug’s own philosophy of strength in numbers. Business Is Business, released during his legal struggles, was stacked with support from Drake, Future, and Travis Scott. To him, Kendrick’s absence from that collaborative web highlights a different mindset about what it takes to build a legacy and remain influential in hip hop.
Like we said with his chest out standing on ten toes, Thug is sliding for Drizzy.
