It appears Young Thug is trying to make amends after some of his jail calls were leaked online, making him a topic of discussion because of the things he said.
In his latest Thursday-released single, Man I Miss My Dogs, Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Lamar Williams II, apologized to his longtime girlfriend, Mariah the Scientist, Complex reported. Besides expressing his gratitude to fellow rappers Drake and 21 Savage on the track, the 34-year-old also disclosed that his efforts to contact Lil Baby had proved futile.
“Baby, I’m sorry. One of my biggest fears is losing you to the internet,” the So Much Fun rapper tells Mariah. “Waking up in our bed with you right by my neck. Saving don’t you break a sweat. Pillow talking ain’t my game. Pillow talking ain’t my name. Pillow talking ain’t my name. Baby, I love you. I know you see this rain. I know you feel my pain.”
“Look at these n***as bashing me like Jesus cause I made it,” he raps. “Look at all this sh*t we’ve been through, baby crying in Mercedes. F*ck a jail call, I was playing, I’d never trade you. You was encouraging me on my bad days.”
Thug on the song also tells Mariah that he’s “sorry for being a part of these hoes laughing at you.” “I’m sorry for taking you from who bao you Just to put you through this madness. I’m the reason you crashing.”
Thug additionally gave props to Drake for visiting him while he was locked up and disclosed that he tried to get the Canadian rapper on the same page with producer Metro Boomin and fellow rapper Future.

“Love to my n***as still with us. Those that stay down through rough waters can relate,” he said on the song. “Feel like my future ain’t sh*t. It is what it is. Drizzy, you my brother. You know I ain’t going against you. Came to visit me at Cobb County like my kin do. F*ck the jail call, you know the other calls we had.”
He added: “Trying to get you, Metro, and Pluto on the same page. The internet don’t know about it because real n****s don’t say. Real n****s do I called Metro on the phone and told him let it go.”
Elsewhere on the song, Thug also gives a shout-out to 21 Savage. “Savage, you are a real n****. Don’t let them tell you different,” he said.
Thug shared the lyrics to his song on his Instagram page, and Drake appeared to endorse the song as he liked his post, Complex reported.
After some of his jail calls were leaked online, Thug became the talk of social media. In the leaked recordings, the Lifestyle rapper was heard talking about a variety of topics, including his supposed infidelity in his relationship with Mariah, as well as his issues with Drake and what he thought about Gunna.
