Young Thug Seemingly Addresses Online Backlash After Jail Calls Leak: ‘Bashing Me Only Goin F— That Rap Community Up More’

Leaked jail calls reveal Young Thug's anger over Gunna's plea deal, accusing disloyalty and causing division among Atlanta's rap artists and fans, impacting collaborations and reputations.

  • On September 3, 2025, leaked jail calls from Rapper Young Thug ignited controversy across the rap world as audio clips recorded before his release resurfaced this week.
  • Gunna accepted a 2022 Alford plea in the YSL RICO case, securing release with probation and community service, while Young Thug's leaked calls frame this plea as betrayal of loyalty and street code.
  • He explained during a call that `Bashing me only goin f*ck that rap community up more, I׳m the blue to this fake ass game` and accused Gunna of accepting an Alford plea 'to get out for a woman.'
  • Social-Media commentators like DJ Akademiks are dissecting the audio, triggering fierce debate while Gunna has yet to respond and the Gunnaupdates fanpage helps amplify the clips.
  • Because some material is obtainable via public records, critics say the leaks spotlight a decline in Atlanta's rap scene authenticity and Gunnaupdates said jail calls can be obtained through open-records requests confirmed by the Cobb County Sheriff's Office.
