A secretly recorded jailhouse phone call, leaked recently, went viral and an uproar has followed with Young Thug under fire for insulting remarks about rapper GloRilla. On the recording, Thug desribes the Wanna Be singer as "ugly as f**k" and also refers to the appearance of her wig, the shape of her head, and her mouth in a mocking way. He goes on further, saying, "I would not mess with her, like at all, ever."

These words have attracted raised eyebrows, more so considering GloRilla's increased popularity within the rap scene. The leaked call, made while Thug was behind bars between 2022-2024, has gone viral once again, with international outrage circulating on social media platforms. People and artists have disapproved of the words, raising questions about Thug's motives together with the timing of the leak.

In a fiery comeback, No More Love songstress turned to social media, posting:

"Mind you dis da same n**** blowing my phone up to ask what color my eyes is lmaooo."

GloRilla's reaction to Young Thug's words

GloRilla's post suggests a prior flirting between the two rappers, and it adds an aspect of irony to Thug's recent words. The post immediately went viral on social media, and her supporters took her side, condemning Thug for his remark.

The leaked call is just one of a chain of inflammatory calls throughout Thug's time in jail, during which he also showed disrespect to other artists like Kendrick Lamar and Gunna. The leaks have created a broader discussion about the issue of loyalty, respect, and relationship dynamics in the world of hip-hop.

The reaction to Young Thug's leaked comment regarding TGIF hitmaker places the nuances of music relationships in perspective. While Thug's comment was probably intended as a diss, it has done the complete opposite of what he wanted and created an open dialogue regarding respect, self-respect, and how social media keeps public figures' feet to the fire.
