The curious case of the status between Young Thug and Gunna has been a hot topic for some time now.

After Gunna admitted YSL was a violent street gang during his plea deal in the YSL case, he’s been ridiculed by members of the rap world including Young Thug associates, despite his plea and admission not affecting Thug’s case. Thug has mostly remained mum and at times offered conflicting hints about where he stands with Gunna. Why is there a stark contrast between Gunna and Young Thug post-release? Why is Gunna able to thrive despite being black balled and how Young Thug is failing, despite the hype surrounding his release?
