What Did 21 Savage Say About Thug And Gunna’s Rift?

On Wednesday, December 17, the Slaughter Gang boss took to X to play peacemaker and address the long-standing tension between Young Thug and Gunna. 21 Savage didn’t mince words as he publicly urged the former YSL duo to put their differences aside and reunite. In a candid post, he suggested the “streets” haven’t brought anyone anything but trauma. The rapper also insisted there was still love between the two, even referencing past situations that had already been “swept…under the rug.”

As previously reported, the rift between Gunna and Young Thug stems from the YSL RICO case, when Gunna accepted an Alford plea deal in December 2022. That decision led to speculation that Gunna cooperated with authorities, something that reportedly strained his relationship with Thug. While Young Thug later secured his release from jail in October 2024 through a plea deal of his own, the two have yet to publicly reconnect. And, fans are still waiting on any sign of new music or reconciliation between the former collaborators.

Later in the night, Thugger responded to 21, expressing his love for him. Future also weighed in on 21’s message. Swipe below to see the updates.

Adding another layer to the conversation, Young Thug’s father, Williams Sr., has continued to publicly show love to Gunna. Most recently, he was spotted attending Gunna’s sold-out Atlanta show, with videos from the night going viral. His presence once again turned heads, especially amid ongoing accusations that Gunna cooperated with authorities following the 2022 YSL indictment. These allegations surfaced after Gunna accepted a plea deal and was released while Young Thug remained behind bars until October 2024. Despite the noise, Williams Sr. has stood firm in his support. He also previously stated in a 2023 interview that Gunna did nothing to hurt his son’s case. Williams Sr. even appeared in Gunna’s ‘One Of Wun’ music video in 2024 and popped out at a different Atlanta show.
