Young Thug Praises Drake in Instagram Post, Calls Him One of the 'Realest Rappers I Know'

If a picture is worth a thousand words, maybe Young Thug's latest Instagram post is a case of subliminal shots fired.

Interesting things take place on Young Thug’s Instagram feed. Aside from being the destination of choice to post previews of new content, Thugger uses Instagram to flaunt his unconventional sartorial choices and run-ins with fellow celebrities. Jeffrey has recently been sharing behind-the-scenes photos from Drake’s Boy Meets World European tour, and Friday found him in a thankful mood for the opportunity.

“Thanks for this journey my brada... u 1 of the realist rappers I know,” Thugger wrote in the caption if a photo featuring himself and Drake. “Very GgenuinNe man and brada, I love the way u treat me and respect me and my heart!!! YOU R NUN LIKE THESE OTHER RAPPERS. I mean ALL OF EM.... And for that I'm with u foreva!”

No names were mentioned, but it seems safe to assume some of his peers haven’t given him the cordial treatment he praised Drake for showing. The caption is particularly telling given that the driver in Lil Wayne’s 2016 bus shooting sued Young Thug, Birdman, and Cash Money Records. And there’s the rather obvious connection between Drake, Birdman, and Wayne, since Wayne brought Drake to Cash Money via his Young Money imprint.

Drake’s Boy Meets World tour is scheduled to wrap up on March 23 in Glasgow, Scotland.
