When asked about Kendrick’s lyrics, Thug downplayed the situation and made it clear that he supports Drake.
Before his release, Thug’s girlfriend Mariah The Scientist had already shared some of his thoughts on the beef. She revealed that she used to play the diss songs for him during phone calls while he was locked up.
According to her, he followed the situation with interest but didn’t take any side publicly at the time.
Young Thug and Drake have built a strong relationship over the years, both personally and professionally. Their bond reportedly grew even stronger after Thug’s release.
According to media personality DJ Akademiks, Drake visited Thug shortly after he got out of jail and allegedly gave him $1 million.
