The saga around Young Thug continues to spiral as more of his alleged jail calls leak online. Over the past week, audio clips have surfaced of Thugger speaking openly about Gunna, Migos, Gucci Mane, and now Kendrick Lamar — sparking nonstop debate across social media.
Thug’s Criticism of Kendrick Lamar
In the latest leaked clip, Thug calls out Kendrick Lamar for refusing to collaborate with him and other Atlanta heavyweights. Comparing Lamar to Drake, Thug suggested Kendrick’s lack of collabs keeps him from reaching his full impact.
“These n**s too big, like ‘I ain’t doing no features,’ why? Why wouldn’t you wanna do a feature for a superstar?” Thug asked.
“Put somebody on! It’s okay to run your few hundred M’s up, but who’d you help, though?”
Thug doubled down with a sharp comparison:
“That’s why these n**s will never be bigger than Drake, EVER in life.”
For Thug, Drake’s willingness to embrace collaborations is what keeps him connected to mainstream fans — something he feels Kendrick lacks.
More Shots at Kendrick and Baby Keem
Thug didn’t stop at Kendrick. He also mocked Lamar’s cousin Baby Keem, allegedly calling him “bullsht a Keem.”* The line immediately sparked heated reactions online, with fans wondering if Keem will fire back.
Thug also dismissed Kendrick’s quiet online persona, joking that he should delete social media altogether instead of pretending he’s not active. To Thug, Kendrick’s low-profile presence reads as weakness in a digital-first industry.
Other Leaked Calls: Gunna, Gucci, and Migos
The Kendrick comments are just one piece of a bigger wave of leaks. In other clips, Thug reportedly said he considered releasing music on the same day as Gunna just to shade him — while also accusing Gunna of benefiting from boosted streams to edge out The Weeknd’s Dawn FM on the charts.
He also criticized Gucci Mane, claiming the 1017 boss went “soft” after prison, and brushed off Migos as irrelevant in today’s rap landscape.
A Raw Look Inside Thug’s Mind
While the authenticity of these calls remains unverified, they’ve offered a raw and unfiltered picture of Thug’s mindset behind bars — frustrated, outspoken, and unafraid to take shots at some of rap’s biggest names.
With Kendrick Lamar now in the crosshairs, the leaked audio has turned the hip-hop world’s attention squarely back to the YSL frontman, fueling even more speculation about what his next moves — musical or legal — could look like.
