My Rivalry With Lil Wayne Was Influenced By His Lack Of Social Media – Young Thug

Popular rapper Young Thug has opened up about his current relationship with legendary lyricist Lil Wayne. He recently revealed that the longstanding beef between him and the “Monalisa” crooner has been squashed.

Speaking during an interview on the Pivot Podcast, Thug said that there is even a possibility of a collaborative album in the near future.

According to him, fan interactions at shows actually shaped Wayne’s perception of their rivalry, and he let outside voices influence their relationship in many ways.

He stated that Lil Wayne’s lack of social media made him react to whatever he was told by people close to him.

“He [Lil Wayne] ain’t on the internet. He tends to react to what he hears from people or what the fans say in person. They’d be like, ‘Hey, fk Young Thug. That ni** just wanna be you. He’s a bi**h. He wore a dress.’ He was feeding off that typa sh*t,” he said.

Despite their past conflict, Young Thug insisted that he shares a better relationship with Wayne now.

He concluded by hinting at a potential creative collaboration soon, stressing that they just need to find time to make the release happen.

“Me and him got a way better relationship now. We got an album and everything. We just ain’t sat down and just put the sh*t together and release the album together,” he added.

Young Thug and Lil Wayne go as far back as the mid-2010s. After Thug decided to title his debut commercial mixtape “Barter 6,” its release coincided with Wayne’s preparation for “Tha Carter V,” stoking tension between both parties at the time.

Moving on, Young Thug’s latest album “UY Scuti” features household names like Ken Carson, Cardi B, T.I., Lil Baby, Sexyy Red, YFN Lucci, 21 Savage, Travis Scott, Quavo, Lil Gotit, 1300Saint, Future, and Mariah the Scientist. However, Wayne does not feature.
