Young Thug’s new album UY Scuti is almost here, but its cover art has fans in disbelief.
The Atlanta rapper revealed the artwork for his highly anticipated project on Thursday afternoon, sparking instant reactions across social media. The cover shows Young Thug staring into the camera with white skin and blue eyes—a bold choice that left many fans clowning the design.
On X (formerly Twitter), one user joked: “Mf got Delonte West as the Album Cover…” Another wrote: “I beg you with everything you love, do not make this the cover art.” A third added: “Thug the cover so ugly this might genuinely affect streams.”
This isn’t the first time Young Thug has shocked audiences with his visuals. His 2016 album Jeffrey featured him in an elaborate dress, while his Barter 6 mixtape cover famously showed him nude. Whether fans love it or hate it, UY Scuti is continuing that legacy of eye-catching, conversation-starting art.
When does Young Thug’s new album drop?
UY Scuti, Young Thug’s fourth studio album, will officially release on Friday, September 26, 2025, and will be available for streaming right at midnight. Fans can also pre-order both digital and physical editions through Thug’s official website.
Why the title UY Scuti?
Speaking with GQ, Young Thug said the name reflects how massive he feels in the rap game:
“I just feel big, you know. The name of my album UY Scuti. I feel like I’m one of the biggest stars. I did a lot. Founding this culture. The new rap game that’s happening right now. I’m out of this world. Not like God, though.”
Young Thug’s new album tracklist and features
The full UY Scuti tracklist hasn’t been revealed yet, but Thug has already dropped the lead single “Money on Money” featuring Future. He’s also teased a potential collaboration with YFN Lucci. However, it remains unclear if other rumored artists will appear, given recent leaked phone calls from the YSL RICO case where Thug criticized Future, Gunna, Kendrick Lamar, and others, while admitting to cheating on Mariah the Scientist.
Final thoughts
Despite the memes and criticism, Young Thug’s UY Scuti has fans buzzing ahead of release day. With his history of bold, unconventional choices, Thug is once again proving that controversy and creativity often go hand in hand in hip-hop.
