Young Thug Drake Jail Call Reveal

Nearly 11 months after reaching a plea deal to secure his release from jail in the YSL RICO trial, Young Thug returned with his Uy exempted album on Friday (Sept. 26).

Before letting his music do the talking, Thug became the victim of street politics and a plethora of leaked jail phone calls, which muddied his reputation in recent months.

While some rappers distanced themselves from King Spyder, Drake doubled down on his friendship with Thug, as the YSL honcho revealed that Drizzy reached out to him in the midst of the chaos to let him know they’ll always remain solid.

Thugger joined thand pivot podcast on Friday, where he revealed the advice Drake gave him, along with clearing the air regarding their friendship.

“Drake, the jail phones all that s—t came out, Drake text me, ‘N—a, I love you. Drop that music, bro. Let your music talk,’” he recalled.

Thug went on to claim he’s never been one to pillow talk with women, but jail had him in a frazzled state of mind, which made him comment on plenty of his hip-hop peers.

“Damn, I was really on the phone talking about people. No girl in my entire life can tell you that I pillow talk with them,” he said. “That s—t get to me every day, I was really on the phone like a p—y.”

An alleged jail phone call leak between Thug and Mariah the Scientist saw the Atlanta rapper criticizing Drake over his treatment of Metro Boomin following his mother’s passing.

“You’re using the fact that you’re Drake as a weapon now and the n—a just not feeling that right now,” Thug said on a leaked call, according to VIBE. “You supposed to get on your big ol’ plane, and went to where that n—a was or where that n—a momma died, cause you really, really, really, mess with a n—a.”

There’s been speculation regarding the rift between Drake and Metro Boomin stemming from Drizzy requesting a song from Metro while he was in the midst of grieving the loss of his mother.

After dishing out a pair of assists on Thug’s 2023 Business Is Business album, Drake was noticeably absent from the star-studded Uy exempted guest list, but Thugger insists they’re still tight. Drake was among those Thug apologized to in his sincere “Miss My Dogs” single.
