Young Thug has found himself at the center of controversy following the leak of a phone call from jail in which he made disparaging remarks about fellow rapper GloRilla’s appearance. The call, which took place between Young Thug and his girlfriend, Mariah the Scientist, was leaked online just hours ago, exposing a candid conversation that he believed was private. In the recording, Young Thug is heard criticizing GloRilla’s looks, describing her as “ugly” and mocking her hairstyle and facial features.

The leaked conversation reveals Young Thug’s unfiltered opinions, as he claimed that GloRilla resembled a “big mouth” and had a “big head.” He expressed disbelief that people would compare her to global superstar Rihanna, stating, “Man, they like goddamn Rihanna. Watch out.” His comments have sparked a wave of backlash on social media, with many fans defending GloRilla and condemning Young Thug’s remarks.

GloRilla, who has enjoyed a successful year in her music career, responded indirectly to Young Thug’s comments via a tweet, highlighting the irony of his insults given that he had previously been reaching out to her. “Mind you, this the same end blowing up my phone to ask what color my eyes is?” she tweeted, suggesting that his criticisms were contradictory to his previous behavior.

In light of the backlash, Young Thug issued a public apology on social media, stating, “First of all, I’m sorry to you for my words, and I honestly don’t think you’re ugly at all. I was speaking from jail, just having a hard time with life. I don’t like bashing girls, and hardly ever did.” However, the apology was short-lived, as he deleted the post shortly after, leading many to speculate on the sincerity of his regret.

This incident is part of a broader pattern, as the leaked calls are from a series of conversations Young Thug had while incarcerated during the YSL Rico case, which has seen numerous other celebrities mentioned, including Gunna and Kendrick Lamar. The nature of these calls has raised questions about the rapper’s state of mind while behind bars and his attitudes towards his peers.

While GloRilla continues to thrive in her career, recently announcing her relationship with NBA player Brandon Ingram, the fallout from Young Thug’s comments serves as a reminder of the complexities of celebrity interactions and the scrutiny that comes with public life. As fans and commentators weigh in on the situation, it remains to be seen how Young Thug’s comments will affect his relationships within the industry moving forward.
