Is Young Thug next artist set to be launched in space via Blue Origin next month? Viral rumor debunked

After the success story of the all-female crew going to space via Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin, there are rumors that Young Thug will join the next batch of artists and celebrities taking the next space trip.

Two photos posted by Daily Noud on X sparked the rumors. In the first, Young Thug is dressed in a space suit, while the other is a screenshot of Blue Origin's X post announcing its new crew going to space.

Young Thug is among the celebrities mentioned in the screenshot, along with Tom Cruise, Kendall Jenner, Drew 'Druski' Desbordes, Angel Reese, and Jameis Winston.

However, the news of these A-listers going to space is fake. The account that posted the news, Daily Noud, is a parody account, their bio states, and they often share viral content with a pinch of salt. Daily Noud only posts:

"fake stories | Not affiliated with @DailyLoud 🙅‍♂️🙅‍♀️," their bio states.
