Young Thug expressed disappointment toward Kendrick Lamar after the Compton rapper declined to collaborate on his album Business is Business.
In a recorded phone conversation from jail, Thugger vented about Kendrick refusing the feature, saying: “These n-ggas too big, like ‘I ain’t doing no features,’ why? Why wouldn’t you wanna do a feature for a superstar?”
He continued with: “Put somebody on! It’s okay to run your few hundred M’s up, but who’d you help, though?”

Thug then contrasted Kendrick unfavorably with Drake: “You supposed to be a n-gga blessing niggas. That’s why these n-ggas will never be bigger than Drake, ever in life.”
Kendrick Lamar has not issued a response to the leaked remarks.
Several recordings from Thug’s time behind bars have surfaced recently.
In one call, he expressed anger at Gunna for accepting a plea deal during the YSL RICO proceedings.
He accused his former collaborator of making the plea bargain just to see a woman, saying: “I wish he never get pussy no more, he will never get another dollar in the world, you don’t deserve nothing. Did that shit to get out for a hoe.”
Thug added: “I’m in the same position you in n-gga. I’m a man though, I ain’t doing no sucker shit.”
Thugger also had to reject allegations that he snitched on YSL member Peewee Roscoe after a recording of his police interview was leaked.
He referred to Roscoe during the interrogation but later defended himself online, posting: “They didn’t play my interrogation video in court cause I helped my brada #Ratwhere?”
Snitching has been a consistent point of contention in the YSL RICO case, especially regarding Gunna, who has been widely accused of aiding the prosecution in exchange for his plea — allegations that he and his attorney have repeatedly denied.
