It seems that a Young Thug album may be on the horizon. The Go Crazy hitmaker has been hinting at a new album over the past few days, consistently using one particular phrase: "UY Scuti."
During a Miami Heat vs. Golden State game on March 25, 2025, Young Thug was seen in a jersey with UY Scuti emblazoned on it. The following day, the rapper reportedly followed an Instagram account named UY Scuti, prompting fans to conclude that the phrase relates to an upcoming album.
UY Scuti is among the largest known stars in the Milky Way and is classified as a red hypergiant. The rapper’s frequent references to UY Scuti may indicate he intends to use it as either an album title or a visual element.
Rumors have it that Young Thug might drop an album soon
@Kurrco on X claimed that the rapper might begin dishing out pre-album launch snippets soon. The news channel tweeted:
"Young Thug may be starting his album rollout. Young Thug just followed a new Instagram account named after the largest star in the universe — "UY Scuti." He also showed off a jersey with the name at last night's Miami Heat game..."
Netizens reacted excitedly to the news, with some calling 2025 the year of epic music releases:
“Yeah, 2025 might beat 2016/2018 with music,” @lxlvshot stated.
“Lookin' like a GOATED year. Wham BULKY and UY Scutti,” @edge_troll expressed.
“A summer young thug album is everything I want rn,” @cambashoes tweeted.
“Let’s go, Thug. Awaiting on this one,” @Killa11211 stated.
The rapper hasn’t made any official statements about a new album, but fans and media have been piecing together details from his public appearances. Regardless of a new album, the rapper has remained busy collaborating with prominent artists. He worked with Lil Baby on the song "Dum, Dumb" from the latter’s "Wham" album. Young Thug’s recent social media presence followed the announcement of his performance at the upcoming Belgian Music Festival Les Ardennes.
The organizers announced the following:
"Eight years after his last visit to Les Ardentes, Young Thug is back! See you on Saturday, July 5th for an ME-MO-RABLE show!”
Whether the talented rapper will release music this year remains to be seen. Stay tuned for more updates!
