Young Thug’s latest album, BUSINESS IS BUSINESS, has sparked new talk in hip-hop circles. The opener “Parade on Cleveland,” which features Drake, is now seen as more than just music. Leaked jail calls suggest the lyrics could be aimed at Gunna.
The tension started after Gunna accepted an Alford plea deal in the YSL RICO case. Many saw this as a form of “snitching.” Young Thug expressed anger in calls from prison. He said he felt betrayed by someone he once supported in the industry.
Drake’s part on the album is also under focus. His feature on the opener is being linked to the same theme of loyalty and betrayal. Together, their music and the leaked calls point to strained ties between the rappers.
Young Thug's leaked call details about Gunna
In one leaked call, Young Thug said, “I literally don’t hate nobody in the entire world but him. I literally hate him… But business is business.”
His words made it clear just how strongly he felt about Gunna’s decision. He even admitted to spending $50,000 on fake streams to boost Gunna’s album DS4EVER to the No. 1 spot. In another call, Thug spoke about the support he had given Gunna over the years, including how Drake had contributed features to strengthen his projects. Now, he suggested, the music itself reflects the depth of his betrayal.
Reports also point out that while Thug expressed anger, he later admitted he no longer truly hates Gunna. Still, the wound over loyalty remains. The calls show both bitterness and disappointment at how things unfolded.
