Young Thug and Rich Homie Quan: A Complicated Relationship
During a recent concert, Young Thug made headlines by shouting, “Hey, fuck Rich Homie!” before performing “Lifestyle,” his biggest hit. This outburst referred to Rich Homie Quan, with whom Thug released the 2014 joint tape Tha Tour: Part 1 as part of the duo Rich Gang. Since the breakup of the group, Young Thug has seemingly distanced himself from Quan.
In contrast, Rich Homie Quan appears to be taking the high road. He previewed a new track on Instagram that addresses the Rich Gang split. In it, he lip-syncs, “I had to separate myself from Rich Gang,” while expressing no disrespect toward Birdman. He affirms that “Thugga Thugga still my BEST FRIEND,” possibly referencing Thug’s hit from Slime Season.
In the post’s caption, Quan wrote, “u can say fuck me all u want to u still my BESTFRIEND,” showing a desire to maintain their friendship despite the tension.
Ultimately, while the situation remains complicated, Quan’s upcoming song is shaping up to be a potential hit. Regardless of the drama, both artists have contributed significantly to hip-hop and their past collaborations remain beloved.
