Rapper Young Thug released his fourth studio album, UY Scuti, on September 26.
The same day, he shared a message for his fans, announcing that the album had one of Rod Wave’s verses, which could not be included in the album. Young Thug’s X post read:
“Rod wave had a verse on Blaming Jesus and I’m sorry to the fans that my team didn’t put it on the song. Doin some firing in the a.m and the song will be fixed tomorrow -I’m sorry to his fans.”
In April 2025, Thug spoke to GQ’s Zach Baron about his life after jail and his latest album. When asked how working on the new musical work felt to him, the rapper said:
“It came easy. I never lost it. Nothing. I never lost it. I listened to music in jail and I listened to music sometimes in court and things like that, so I never lost it. I was still up to par on what was going on for the most part.”
The interviewer asked Young Thug if making his voice clearer on the record was a choice. He explained that he had told his manager he wanted people to hear what he was saying in his music. In the past, it wasn’t always clear, but now he felt like a new artist starting fresh in the rap world again.
Young Thug reflects on his trial and the present rap culture
Elsewhere in the interview, Zach Baron asked if there was some kind of vibe or spiritual feeling guiding him. Young Thug compared himself to a celestial element. He explained that he felt like he was on another level, almost out of this world. Baron asked if there was a particular moment when he realized this, to which Thug replied:
“Yeah, I was actually in court. I was on trial. And I just started looking around the courtroom like, Damn, there’s a lot of people in here. It’s cameras. It’s the longest trial in Georgia history. And even just the things that the judge said when it was over for me. The judge was just like, “Yo, you got to realize who you are.””
The rapper went on:
“My lawyer, Brian Steel, he always told me every day, like, “Bro, you got to know. You got to know.” And then me just sitting in the cell every night alone, it was just kind of like, “I’m big.” I always was popular. I was always the big bro, even in my neighborhoods and things, so I’ve never looked at it. I didn’t grasp how it is now because I always was like that.”
When asked what he thought about rap music being in a good place, Young Thug agreed but said that the figures could be better. He mentioned that there is a kind of monotony in the existing work and felt that the artists could bring innovation.
