Young Thug is getting ready to hit the road with YSL’s “New Generation,” but before the tour begins, he’s found himself in a public dispute involving former YSL artist Nine Vicious. After the two exchanged words online over an alleged re-signing deal, Thug took to his Instagram Story to accuse Nine Vicious of walking back his earlier denial.
For those who missed the drama, Thugger recently claimed during a PlaqueBoyMax livestream that he had re-signed Nine Vicious to YSL in a multi-million-dollar deal. However, after the news circulated on Instagram, Nine Vicious allegedly commented from his account, dismissing the claim as false.
As captured by Kurrco on Twitter, Young Thug later shared what appeared to be a text message from Nine Vicious on his Instagram Story. In the alleged exchange, Nine reportedly sent him a link to Kurrco’s post about the Instagram comment and wrote, “This [cap emoji] ion even talk like this,” followed by several laughing and crying emojis.
It’s still unclear why Young Thug decided to share the alleged conversation. Some fans believe he was simply clearing up the confusion and confirming that the re-signing deal did happen. Others, however, speculated that the post was meant as a subtle call-out rather than a peace offering, with some even claiming Thug had blocked Nine Vicious based on the symbol displayed next to his contact name.
It remains to be seen whether either artist will address the situation more directly or simply move on. The disagreement marks one of the more notable YSL-related controversies in recent years involving the label, its roster, and affiliated artists. Still, there’s also a chance the issue fades away as a brief misunderstanding.
Outside of his situation with Young Thug, Nine Vicious has also been dealing with an ongoing feud involving fellow rising rapper Che. Their dispute recently escalated after footage of an alleged physical altercation surfaced online earlier this week. Since then, the two have continued exchanging diss records, leaving fans eager to see how the rivalry unfolds.
Meanwhile, Young Thug remains focused on expanding YSL with or without Nine Vicious. The rapper has already announced that a new YSL compilation album is on the way, which is expected to coincide with the upcoming “New Generation” tour. Fans are now waiting to see if those plans come together as expected.
