A previously unheard collaboration between Young Thug and Gunna, titled “I Went From”, has surfaced online, stirring the pot amid ongoing rumors of a feud between the two rap stars. The song, which appears to date back to 2020 before their arrest in the YSL RICO case, features the duo reflecting on their journey from the “trenches” to winning major Billboard awards.
The Leak and Its Timing
The leak has fueled speculation about the state of the relationship between Young Thug and Gunna, especially following Gunna’s decision to take a plea deal in the high-profile YSL case. Many fans believe that Young Thug’s verse on the new Lil Baby track “Dum, Dumb, and Dumber” contains a subtle diss aimed at Gunna. In the verse, Thug raps, “Never associate with a rat,” leading to further rumors of tension between the two artists. However, Thug does not name anyone directly in his lyrics.
Gunna’s Lawyer Defends Him Amidst Backlash
The drama surrounding the two rappers has been compounded by comments from Gunna’s lawyer, Steve Sadow, who publicly defended his former client on social media. Sadow took to Instagram on January 3 to clear up misconceptions about Gunna’s plea deal, explaining that Gunna did not cooperate with authorities and was not involved in any actions that would harm Young Thug’s case. He further clarified that Gunna’s plea deal did not have any negative impact on Thug’s trial, with Gunna receiving a suspended sentence and enjoying continued success in his music career.
The Bigger Picture: The YSL RICO Case Fallout
The leaking of “I Went From” adds more layers to the ongoing saga, which has divided fans and the hip-hop community. While Gunna continues to build his post-plea career, Young Thug’s legal battles persist, with him eventually pleading guilty after spending over two years in jail. As the case continues to unfold, the public fallout between the two artists remains one of the most discussed topics in the rap world.
