Young Thug isn’t ready to bury the hatchet with Gunna, and not even Quavo appears capable of changing his mind.
The Atlanta rapper fired back after Quavo publicly urged him to reconcile with his former YSL collaborator, making it clear that he doesn’t believe he’s responsible for their fractured relationship.
The exchange unfolded after Offset spoke about his continued friendship with Gunna during an appearance on The New York Times’ Popcast, where he criticized the division that has taken over Atlanta’s hip-hop scene.
Young Thug Responds After Quavo Tries to Squash Gunna Beef
During the interview, Offset explained why he has continued collaborating with Gunna despite the backlash surrounding the rapper’s involvement in the YSL RICO case.
“I’m not a follower. I rock with who rock with me,” Offset said.
He also expressed frustration over how the controversy affected Atlanta’s once-dominant music scene.
“All that bullsh*t divided our city and then made each artist pay for it,” he explained. “At the end of the day, we ran the whole hip-hop scene. Now it’s a gap.”
Quavo seemingly agreed with Offset’s message and took to Instagram to encourage Young Thug to put his differences with Gunna aside.
“We all family @thuggerthugger1 We all some playas,” Quavo wrote. “We gon fix it.”
However, Thugger wasn’t convinced.
“How Uma fix some sht I didn’t break qua? I been a real man since day one, no n*** on this earth can tell u I lead then wrong or f*cked them over,” Young Thug responded.
His response made one thing clear: while Quavo wants to bring everyone back together, Young Thug doesn’t believe he’s the one who needs to make things right.
Why Are Young Thug and Gunna Beefing?
The tension between the former collaborators dates back to the high-profile YSL RICO case in 2022, when both rappers were arrested alongside several alleged associates.
Gunna was released from jail in December 2022 after entering an Alford plea, which allowed him to maintain his innocence while accepting a guilty plea to a racketeering conspiracy charge.
The decision sparked accusations that he had cooperated against Young Thug, although Gunna repeatedly denied being an informant or agreeing to testify against anyone involved in the case.
Young Thug, meanwhile, remained behind bars until October 2024, when he was released after accepting a plea deal.
Their once-close relationship has remained strained ever since.
During a previous interview with Big Bank, Young Thug also claimed that while several rappers supported him financially during his incarceration, Gunna never sent him money.
Despite their history of successful collaborations and Gunna’s rise through Young Thug’s YSL label, the two have yet to publicly resolve their differences.
Offset Continues Supporting Gunna Despite Atlanta Rap Divide
Unlike several artists who distanced themselves from Gunna following the YSL case, Offset has continued working with him.
Their latest collaboration, “Spit Propane,” appears on Offset’s new album GMFU, released November 13.
Quavo’s attempt to reunite Young Thug and Gunna also comes as he and Offset have been rebuilding their own relationship following years of tension after Takeoff’s death in 2022.
