Never shy about speaking his mind, Thug used a recent call to revisit his 2023 album Business Is Business while weighing in on the ongoing conversation about influence and reach in rap. He drew a clear contrast between Kendrick and Drake, arguing that Kendrick’s selective collaborations have stunted his cultural impact.
“You supposed to be blessing [people],” Thug said of Kendrick. “That’s why [they’ll] never be bigger than Drake, EVER in life.”
The remarks highlight Thug’s belief that Drake’s dominance isn’t just tied to his chart success but also to his openness in sharing his platform, helping solidify his role as hip-hop’s most pervasive figure.
