Young Thug has opened up about his estranged relationship with Rich Homie Quan, asserting that he never switched sides. This discussion reignited when Young Thug shared an old video of them together, expressing loyalty through the caption, “Never switched on you brada. Always road with u what happened.” This prompted mixed reactions from fans, some viewing it as a tribute while others questioned its simplicity.
Meanwhile, Quan’s affiliates publicly contested Thug’s claims, with Rich Homie Monta advising, “Don’t ride for me,” and Rich Homie Dre attributing their fallout to “Pride & Ego.” Young Thug replied, stating Quan betrayed him and emphasized that true friends should reach out after disputes.
Thug further explained his loyalty to Quan, revealing that he distanced himself from YFN Lucci due to his loyalty to Quan. The tension between the two has persisted since their initial breakout around 2013, marked by hits like “Lifestyle.” However, by 2015, their collaboration diminished amid reported behind-the-scenes shifts related to their business ties.
Despite occasional expressions of respect over the years, a complete reconciliation never occurred before Rich Homie Quan’s passing in 2024. Young Thug later reflected on this loss, regretting that he didn’t resolve their issues in time.
