It looks like there might be a shift in the ongoing saga between Young Thug and Gunna. A leaked snippet of a Lil Baby track featuring Young Thug, which originally contained a diss aimed at Gunna, has resurfaced on Lil Baby’s new album, “The Leaks.” However, the revised version of the song, titled “Superman,” notably omits the jab at Gunna.
From Collaborators to Adversaries?
The relationship between Young Thug and Gunna, once close collaborators and friends, took a complicated turn in 2022 following their arrests in a gang indictment. Gunna’s decision to accept a plea deal fueled widespread speculation about “snitching,” a topic that has clearly weighed on Young Thug. While Thug remained relatively quiet for a while, the leaked snippet in August directly addressed Gunna, rapping, “Only reason I f**ked with you Gunna, it was cause of Troup.” This line seemed to offer clarity for many regarding the perceived beef.
Now, with the official release of “Superman,” the absence of Gunna’s name suggests a potential move towards reconciliation or at least a desire to move past the public conflict. The exact reason for the removal remains unclear, but fan theories suggest Young Thug might be ready to let the situation go.
Unpacking Complex Feelings
Young Thug himself touched upon the complexities of the situation in a September appearance on the “Its Up There” podcast. He indicated that his feelings are more nuanced than public perception suggests, expressing that while he still has love for Gunna, he doesn’t see himself working with him again. “I think I’m just in the unpacking phase,” he explained. “It ain’t even about not f*ck with you because I want him to just understand why I feel like it shouldn’t happen again because I’m not gonna be able to look at you the same no matter what.”
We can get a trillion dollars together, I’m still not gonna be able to look at you the way I looked at you before we went to jail. We love each other, we’re just going our own ways. — Young Thug on ‘Its Up There’ podcast
This sentiment suggests a deep sense of betrayal or a fundamental shift in their relationship dynamics due to the legal proceedings. While the door to their past camaraderie may be closed, the removal of the diss track indicates a possible willingness to move forward without public animosity.
