After a week of damning revelations, Young Thug has seemingly opted to wrap up all the chatter and move on from his recently leaked jail calls.
The tapes, which surfaced in waves throughout social media, saw the YSL label head give his unfiltered opinions about figures throughout hip hop – sending shockwaves throughout the industry and even his own personal life.
But after 5 or 6-odd days of ridicule and diminishing commentary, Thugger aptly chose Sunday, september 7, to promote more positive message.
“To everyone involved in this situation I’m sorry this is happening,” he tweeted. “I hope u guys can forgive me, I’m moving forward with my life -THANK U GOD.” He followed it up with another post: “Flaws and all.”
Touching as that sentiment may be, it’s certainly a tall task to ask for people’s forgiveness after much of what was said in his calls.
Thug was critical of artists who he felt didn’t do features with riding talent, calling out J Cole, Andre 3000 and Kendrick Lamar, who thug may have a personal gripe with for not hopping on Business is Business.
Other times he got down right nasty, calling Drake “funky” and Glorilla ugly, which he personally apologized for later(but only after Glo spilled the tea about her dm’s)
But no call feels more discrediting at the moment than the one where he admits to cheating on longtime girlfriend Mariah the Scientist.
In the leaked audio, Young Thug discusses a moment of infidelity when one of his joints shared a photo while she was inside his condo, which he initially dismissed as something that happened a long time ago to the “Burning Blue” singer.
Welp, it turns out that moment happened just days before he was arrested in May 2022.
“My baby I was wrong and I’m sorry for what I put u through. U deserved better from me. Thank you for everything and I will do anything to make this work. U showed me what love is and I hope I haven’t lost u forever… everybody leave her out of this please she’s an innocent girl and feels bad about all of this. Please give her peace,” Young Thug wrote on X.
Despite the apology, it appears the damage was done. About an hour after her man apologized online, she shared two posts on her Instagram Story of lyrics from her song ‘Rainy Days’ — a moment fans interpreted as her looking to move on.
“I was naive, not ignorant. So much for my innocence now. Love me, leave me, let me down. I put forth an open heart and I’ve been hurt. Looking back in retrospect that ain’t what I deserve.”
Thug himself seemed to echo that sentiment soon after, writing: “Chapter ended.”
Much has already been made of the recent Thug tapes, and more is almost certain to come as a new week rolls on. Only time will tell how things bode for King Slime, who has presumably made some new enemies recently. But he’s clearly not discouraged by the noise, and is hopefully looking to bigger and better.
