Young Thug has responded to Quavo’s urging of a reconciliation with Gunna by denying he’s the reason that they aren’t on speaking terms.
On Thursday (Nov. 12), the Qrömelife artist posted a clip from Offset’s new Popcast interview, where the former Migos member discussed collaborating with Gunna when his group disbanded.
“We all family @thuggerthugger1 we all some playas,” Quavo posted in his Instagram Story. “We gon fix it or lets hit.”

The UY Scuti artist responded on his Instagram Story by seeming to deny that he caused a fallout with Gunna.
"How Uma fix some shit I didn't break qua?” Thug wrote. “I been a real man since day one, no n***a on this earth can tell u I lead then wrong or fucked them over.”
In the Popcast interview, Offset acknowledged how the fallouts between artists — including internal to his own group, in addition to the one between Thug and Gunna — impacted Atlanta rap. Offset and Quavo have patched up their differences after the death of Migos member Takeoff.
"I'm not a follower. I rock with who rock with me,” he said. “All that bull divided our city and then made each artist pay for it.”
He continued, “At the end of the day, we ran the whole hip-hop scene. Now it's a gap. Right now, it ain’t no real city.”
The division began during the YSL RICO case, which involved Thug and nearly thirty of the label’s affiliates. While Thug's case didn't end until Oct. 2024, when he was granted a plea deal and fifteen years of probation. Gunna was released from jail after taking an Alford plea two years before.
Thug addressed no longer being on speaking terms with his “Hot” collaborator on an Oct. 2025 episode of podcast It's Up There.
"We can go get a trillion dollars together. I'm still not gonna be able to look at you the way I looked at you before we went to jail,” he said.
In a jail call with 21 Savage that leaked last September, Thug said Gunna "gave the jurors the agreement that it's a gang," and claimed that the concession led to the case becoming a RICO, per Billboard.
As part of Gunna’s Alford plea, he signed a stipulation that included language about YSL as a “gang.” It was also part of his deal that he had to agree to testify in the trial if called, though he has said that was never raised as a possibility.
"While I have agreed to always be truthful, I want to make it perfectly clear that I have NOT made any statements, have NOT been interviewed, have NOT cooperated, have NOT agreed to testify or be a witness for or against any party in the case and have absolutely NO intention of being involved in the trial process in any way," he said in a statement following the plea.
