Young Thug Opens Up and Apologizes to GloRilla Over Offensive Remark
In the latest episode of “Rappers Say Wild Things From Jail,” Young Thug has found himself in the internet’s crosshairs. A recently leaked phone call from his time behind bars revealed the YSL rapper offering some, let’s say, less-than-flattering opinions about fellow artist GloRilla. The backlash was swift, the drama was juicy, and it all culminated in a public apology that has everyone talking.
Young Thug Sparks Controversy With Leaked Jailhouse Rant About GloRilla
Let’s be real, jailhouse phone calls have become the modern-day version of a diss track, except with way worse audio quality and much higher stakes. This time, the drama unfolded when Young Thug, in a conversation with his girlfriend Mariah The Scientist, was heard going on a bizarre rant about GloRilla’s appearance. Apparently, someone comparing GloRilla to Rihanna was enough to set him off. Because, you know, that’s a perfectly normal and stable reaction.
“That b#### ugly as f###,” Thug declared in the leaked audio. “Long ass b####### ass wig, skinny s###, G####### big ass head, big mouth.” And just to make his point crystal clear, he added, “I would not pursue her, like at all… That s### ain’t nothing.” Charming. It seems being incarcerated gives one a lot of time to ponder the aesthetic qualities of their peers.
The Inevitable Social Media Fallout
As you can imagine, the internet did what the internet does best: it went completely nuts. The clip spread faster than a wildfire in a meme factory. Fans, critics, and rubberneckers all weighed in. The general consensus? Not a good look, Thug. Not at all.
GloRilla, never one to let a slight slide, seemed to fire back with a cryptic but pointed post on X (formerly Twitter). “Mind you dis da same n#### blowing my phone up to ask what color my eyes is lmaooo,” she wrote. While she didn’t drop any names, the timing was just a little too perfect. The internet detectives connected the dots, and the tea was officially piping hot. Mic drop, GloRilla.
Young Thug Issues Public Apology to GloRilla After Leaked Jailhouse Rant
Faced with a tidal wave of criticism and a slick clapback from GloRilla herself, Young Thug did something we don’t always see: he apologized. Taking to his own X account, he tried to smooth things over, blaming his harsh words on the stress of being locked up.
“First of all I’m sorry to u for my words and I honestly don’t think ur ugly at all, I was speaking from jail just having a hard time with life,” he posted, tagging GloRilla. “I don’t like bashing girls and hardly ever did.. I’m sorry to u twin.”
Is “Jail Stress” a Valid Excuse?
The apology drew, as you’d expect, a mixed bag of reactions. Some fans praised him for taking accountability. “Finally a good tweet, this is a step in the right direction,” one user commented. Another sympathized, writing, “Accountability. they don’t know the struggle of sitting in that box alone.”
Others, however, were less than impressed, chalking it up to a classic case of “sorry I got caught.” The “jail stress” defense is a convenient one, but does it really excuse tearing down another artist, especially a woman, over her looks? It’s a debate that’s still raging across social media timelines.
Young Thug’s Leaked Jail Calls Keep Making Headlines — Lessons From the GloRilla Drama
This isn’t the first time Young Thug’s leaked calls have stirred the pot. Another infamous recording featured him claiming he dropped $50,000 to make sure Gunna’s album beat The Weeknd’s for the No. 1 spot. It seems his phone privileges have been a consistent source of headline-grabbing content. You’d think his legal team would have put a stop to this by now, but hey, what do I know?
So, what have we learned from this whole saga? First, if you’re a famous rapper in jail, maybe assume every single word you say is being recorded and will eventually be leaked to the public. Second, attacking someone’s appearance is a low blow, whether you’re in a prison cell or a palace. And third, GloRilla remains unbothered and on top. In the end, this little drama will likely fade, but it serves as another wild chapter in the ever-eventful life of Young Thug, a cautionary tale about the perils of gossip behind bars.
Conclusion
This heartfelt apology shows growth and accountability on Young Thug’s part, reminding fans that words carry weight. By addressing the situation directly with GloRilla, he not only mends bridges but also sets an example for others in the industry. In the end, moments like this highlight the power of humility and respect in maintaining strong relationships.
