Young Thug Talks About Retirement And Says He’s Not Making Rap Songs At 50

“I’d instead start doing a different thing. It ain’t even about nobody else; it’s just about me and my integrity and how I want to be looked at. Why would I be 45 or 50 years old trying to record albums? When I’m 50 years old, I know 80% of the world is motherf*cking 15 to 24. What the f*ck am I trying to make an album at 50 for?”

While Thugger says he’s hanging up his rapping when he gets older, he also adds that he’s not pulling out of the game entirely.

“I’ll sell a song to Chanel when I’m 45 or 50. I’ll send three or four songs to Balmain. As far as trying to rap, f*ck no, I ain’t doing it. It’s not [that I have] a problem with it. It’s a problem with me doing it. I don’t want to do it at that point. I got other business and other shit to be doing. I got kids that gonna need more attention from me in 10 years,” Young Thug says.

Later in the interview, Gunna and Young Thug discussed the influence “pushing p” has on the music culture.

“We knew it would happen,” Gunna says. “People are just catching on more and more. It’s nothing that we ain’t been doing. We were ‘Pushin P’ before the song got made. Atlanta was already ‘Pushin P’ before the song came out. That’s why we like, ‘We P’s.’ It’s still lifestyle sh*t.”
