Young Thug announced that his feud with Lil Wayne has ended, and the rappers plan to release a collaborative album together. Thug explained on The Pivot podcast that Wayne avoids social media and previously formed opinions based on comments from fans at concerts. The conflict began in the mid-2010s when Thug titled his debut mixtape Barter 6 as a tribute to Wayne, but Wayne misunderstood the gesture while working on Tha Carter V.
The misunderstanding escalated into one of hip-hop's notable disputes. A shooting targeted Wayne's tour bus in 2015 during the height of tensions between the artists. Thug stated that their relationship has improved significantly, and they have recorded material for an album, but have not finalized the project for release. The collaboration would unite two influential voices in the genre.
