He shared insights about their renewed relationship during a recent appearance on “The Pivot.”
“He [Lil Wayne] ain’t on the internet,” Thug explained. “He was just like going off of what people would say to him or what fans’ll say. So, he ain’t looking at the internet. He’ll just be at one of his shows, and his fans’ll be, ‘Hey, f**k Young Thug. That n***a just wanna be you. He’s a b***h. He wore a dress. He was feeding off that typa s**t.”
Thug emphasized that their connection has grown much stronger over time.
“Me and him got a way better relationship now. We got an album and everything. We just ain’t sat down and just put the s**t together and release the album together.”
This shows how a rivalry that once seemed unfixable has transformed into creative collaboration.
Their beef first began in the mid-2010s when Young Thug named his debut commercial mixtape “Barter 6.” Though it was meant as a tribute to Lil Wayne, Wayne took offense to the title while still focused on releasing “Tha Carter V.” This misunderstanding escalated quickly, sparking one of the most notable conflicts in modern hip-hop. Wayne’s tour bus was infamously shot up in 2015, an incident reportedly tied to the feud.
Despite such past controversies, Young Thug and Lil Wayne are moving forward. Their upcoming album could mark a significant moment in hip-hop, uniting two of the genre’s most influential voices.
