Young Thug seems to call out “rat” Gunna on new song snippet

Young Thug has shared a snippet of an unreleased song featuring lyrics calling out a “rat,” which many believe is directed at Gunna.

Last week (January 2), the Atlanta rapper uploaded two teasers on his Instagram – the first was a preview of his verse on ‘Dum, Dumb and Dumber’ from Lil Baby’s latest album, ‘Wham’.

The second snippet sees Thug rhyme over a synth-trap instrumental: “Never associate with a rat / Go and get some money, get a pack” – which many believed to be a indirect shot at fellow Atlanta rapper, Gunna.

Both Thug and Gunna were arrested as part of the sweeping YSL R.I.C.O case back in 2021. The latter was released in 2022 after entering an Alford plea, causing the public to speculate whether he cooperated with the authorities – which can be seen as “snitching” or “ratting”.

Frequent collaborator and fellow Thug’s mentee Lil Baby also appeared to call Gunna a “rat” while telling a DJ to turn off their 2018 collaboration, ‘Drip Too Hard’ during a 2023 performance.

The rapper tried to silence the “rat” allegations on ‘Bread & Butter’ – his first single after being released from jail – rapping: “Never gave no statement or agreed to take no stand on ‘em.”
