Tensions Run High
Leaked jail calls from Young Thug have gone viral, exposing raw moments in the hip-hop world. Recorded before Thug’s 2024 RICO case release, the audio reveals the rapper criticizing Drake for not doing more to secure his freedom and calling out Future for neglecting his children.
Drake and Metro Beef
Thug also touches on the infamous “Trance” track from Metro Boomin’s 2022 HEROES & VILLAINS album, which featured Travis Scott. Drake wanted the song for his Honestly, Nevermind album, but Metro, grieving the loss of his mother, declined.
Thug sympathizes with Metro’s decision but expresses frustration at Drake, suggesting the rapper reached out too soon:
“If I was Metro, I would look at it differently because as a man, business gotta keep going…”
Thug believes Drake’s intentions were good but says, “As soon as Metro’s mother died, Drake should’ve immediately known he wouldn’t be on his album.”
Calling Out Future
The leaks also feature Thug lashing out at Future after he declined to do a “Free Thug” show:
“You biting and you ain’t real — a buster all the way around.”
“He just don’t know nothing, he just ret*rded to certain things, he don’t know nothing but music…”
Thug’s words also reveal his frustration with perceived loyalty in the industry:
“He call me to the studio asking how to start his song. But when girls in the room, he act like he don’t hear me — I don’t know what image you trying to get off, but you’re an idiot…”
Drake, the President, and Prison
In another jaw-dropping moment, Thug allegedly tells Drake to go higher:
“Drake, you Drake, go talk to the president… ‘Aye, man, let my little brother out. Go pardon him, go do something.’ Go talk to the president and get me out…”
He accuses Drake of prioritizing music over freedom, saying, “Don’t call me talking about, ‘Fix something’ for you to have a song from a n*a. Man, ain’t nobody give a fk about no song.”
The Fallout
Fans and hip-hop insiders have reacted to the leaks with shock and amusement. Social media is buzzing with takes on loyalty, grief, and the personal tensions behind the scenes of some of hip-hop’s biggest names.
