The rapper recently shared a photo showing that he had covered up his “YSL” tattoo with a new design, which includes flames inked over the original letters.
The tattoo image quickly caught attention and fueled conversation among hip-hop fans, and also brought it to the attention of Young Thug. He didn’t hold back, jumping into the comment section with a cryptic but pointed message: “I mean… he said it must end lol.”
While some fans viewed the tattoo cover-up as Gunna distancing himself from YSL entirely, others speculated it was a symbolic gesture — perhaps an attempt at rebranding or a subtle nod to leaving the gang-related controversy behind while continuing his music career. Shortly after Young Thug’s comment began circulating online, Gunna seemed to respond with a cryptic message of his own — a potential subliminal shot posted to his Instagram Stories. While he didn’t directly address Thug’s remark, fans have been quick to interpret the post as a sign of lingering tension between the two.
The relationship between Gunna and the rest of the YSL camp has remained a topic of debate ever since his release from jail and his decision to take the plea deal. Some members of the hip-hop community have accused him of “snitching,” while others argue that he simply did what was necessary to protect himself and move forward.
