Gunna Album Link Briefly Appears in Young Thug’s IG Bio Before Vanishing

Amid snitching speculation in the YSL camp, Young Thug added a link to promote Gunna’s music earlier this week before removing the link not long after.

Thug’s Instagram bio was updated this week to include a link to DS4Ever, Gunna’s 2022 studio album released under Thugger’s YSL imprint.

More recently, however, the link has vanished from his bio: 

It’s unclear if Thug himself is behind the decision to add or remove the link, as the rapper is currently behind bars with limited access to the internet. 

The move came more than four months after Gunna entered a guilty plea in YSL’s RICO case and was subsequently let out of jail. Gunna’s release led some to believe he had cooperated with prosecutors and ratted on his co-defendants, including YSL boss Young Thug and label affiliates like Yak Gotti, Duke, and Unfoonk. So far, Thug has not publicly commented on Gunna’s December 2022 release.

The snitching allegations were immediately shot down by Gunna’s attorney, Steve Sadow, as well as Thugger’s sister Dolly White.

“Can y’all please stop saying that people ratted, and people this-and-that?” White said in a video. “It’s not making anybody better, it’s not making nothing good, bro. Nothing that’s going on is…helping my brother. So can y’all please stop that? Can y’all please stop? If y’all love Gunna, then y’all give him support. Like, what the fuck y’all over there doing? Y’all tripping.”

Gunna also pushed back against the accusations in a statement provided to Complex in late 2022:

When I became affiliated with YSL in 2016, I did not consider it a ‘gang’; more like a group of people from metro Atlanta who had common interests and artistic aspirations. My focus of YSL was entertainment—rap artists who wrote and performed music that exaggerated and ‘glorified’ urban life in the Black community. While I have agreed to always be truthful, I want to make it perfectly clear that I have NOT made any statements, have NOT been interviewed, have NOT cooperated, have NOT agreed to testify or be a witness for or against any party in the case and have absolutely NO intention of being involved in the trial process in any way. I have chosen to end my own RICO case with an Alford plea and end my personal ordeal by publicly acknowledging my association with YSL. An Alford plea in my case is the entry of a guilty plea to the one charge against me, which is in my best interest, while at the same time maintaining my innocence toward the same charge. I love and cherish my association with YSL music, and always will. I look at this as an opportunity to give back to my community and educate young men and women that ‘gangs’ and violence only lead to destruction.”
