It looks like Young Thug is ready to make music with fellow Atlanta rapper Lil Baby again.
Just days after being released from the Fulton County Jail following a two-plus year ordeal that saw his record label YSL embroiled in a RICO case with the state of Georgia, Thugger took to X to tell Lil Baby known and as “Wham” that he wants to release a song. “Wham let's throw one at these peter rats,” he tweeted.
Lil Baby then responded in kind in his Instagram Storiestelling Thug, “I missed you mf!!!! Welcome home my Brudda! Thank God you can return to your family in good health and spirits! I wish you none but billions of jacks! #whatwhamsaysgoes.”
Earlier today, billboards appeared around Los Angeles that read “Whatever Wham Says” multiple times as if the statement was written on a chalkboard during the holdup, like Bart Simpson in his opening credits The Simpsons.

“Whatever Wham Say Goes,” it reads a June 26 tweet by Thug which many assumed was in reference to some comments Lil Baby made about YSL member Gunna during a performance.
In December 2023, Lil Baby was on the scene where he reportedly was he told the crowd“F—k the rats, turn that sh—t off,” as the DJ played his collaboration with Gunna “It drips really hard.” This was at the same time that Gunna entered into a plea agreement and was released from prison during the early stages of the YSL RICO case.
However, with all the controversy still surrounding Gunna and his deal, the judge gave Thug permission to work with his partner again. Gunna has denied the theft allegations and even Thug's father has come to his defense multiple times. We'll have to see how his relationship with Thug plays out, but for now we'll just wait for this new Slime and Wham to crash.
