Offset Defends Gunna as Quavo Calls for Young Thug Reconciliation
Offset has defended his fellow rapper Gunna, saying on a New York Times podcast that Gunna "ain't told on nobody." The remark came on Thursday, Nov. 12, during an appearance on the Times' Popcast, where Offset explained why he stood by Gunna after Gunna's 2022 plea deal in the YSL racketeering case.
A plea deal is an agreement to resolve criminal charges without a full trial. Gunna's deal was an Alford plea, a type of plea in which a defendant does not admit guilt but accepts that the state has enough evidence to convict. The YSL case, short for Young Stoner Life, was a prosecution in Georgia that charged a group of rappers, including Young Thug and Gunna, under racketeering laws, which target organised criminal activity.
Offset's loyalty has now reached his music. His album GMFU arrived on Friday, Nov. 13, and includes "Spit Propane," on which he recruited Gunna as a featured artist.
The same week, Quavo, the third member of the group Migos, used his Instagram Story on Thursday to call for Young Thug and Gunna to make peace. He wrote to Young Thug: "We all family @thuggerthugger1 we all some playas," adding, "We gon fix it or lets hit."
Young Thug replied publicly. He asked: "How Uma fix some shit I didn't break qua?" He also said he had "been a real man since day one," and that no one could say he had led them wrong or wronged them.
Young Thug and Gunna have not worked together since Young Thug reached his own plea deal in the YSL case and was released in October 2024. Neither artist has announced a new project together.
For fans, the exchange is a rare public look at a split that has played out mostly in interviews and social media. Quavo's post asked for repair, while Young Thug's reply pushed back on the idea that he needed fixing.
