Young Thug and Gunna were once close collaborators and friends. They collaborated under the YSL (Young Stoner Life) imprint and were popular for their music. However, things turned around after both artists became entangled in a legal case.
In 2022, a big RICO case was filed against the YSL gang, as per a report on December 3, 2024, published in The New York Times. Gunna was released from prison after he accepted an Alford plea deal, which resulted in individuals accusing him of snitching. Young Thug remained in prison longer and went on to accept his own plea deal. After that, their relationship seemed to shift.
Young Thug dropped a fresh song titled Money on Money in 2025. Some of the lines appeared to be directed towards Gunna, and people began to speculate about them having a beef. Let's break down what went down.
What caused the fallout between Young Thug and Gunna?
In a story reported by Times Now on November 10, 2024, the beef seems to have begun with the YSL RICO case. Gunna was arrested with Young Thug and other YSL crew members. Gunna was released in December 2022 after he made an Alford plea. Such a plea indicates he did not plead guilty, but stated the prosecution had enough evidence against him to find him guilty.
Once Gunna was released, individuals on social media blamed him for snitching. Gunna repeatedly denied this. He claimed he did not testify or provide information that would harm anyone in the case. Nevertheless, many felt he betrayed the crew.
Young Thug barely said anything regarding Gunna initially. However, rumors started that Thug was dissatisfied and demanded Gunna remove himself from YSL. According to reports, Thug went as far as telling others that he no longer trusted Gunna. This began altering the fans' perception of their friendship.

Did Young Thug diss Gunna in "Money on Money"?
Young Thug dropped a new song called Money on Money in April 2025, which included Future. The song was released on Atlantic Records rather than YSL Records. This led fans to believe that YSL was over and Gunna was no longer affiliated with the label.
Certain lyrics in the song seemed to be about Gunna. Thug rapped about individuals "telling for nothing" and referred to words such as "rat" and "twin," which fans associated with Gunna. The term "twin" is a name the two artists used for one another in the past.
The timing of the song contributed to the conversation. It was released shortly after Gunna dropped new music and indicated he was still affiliated with YSL. But Thug's song appeared to convey the opposite.
Has either of them spoken publicly about the feud?
Both artists have been diplomatic in their words. Gunna, in interviews, has stated that he did not collaborate with the police. He also stated he wanted to proceed with his career and music. He did not address the lyrics of Money on Money directly.
Young Thug has provided brief responses only. During an interview, he was asked about his relationship with Gunna, and he replied, "I don't know." He did not elaborate further. Later, a tweet on his X (formerly Twitter) account instructed Gunna to "stop acting" like they remain friends. That tweet was deleted shortly afterward.
Despite these indications, neither artist has openly stated what went down between them. This silence has led to speculation and assumption among fans. A lot of people believe that the friendship has come to an end, but there is no official word from either party.
