Young Thug’s recent announcement to include Quavo on his upcoming UY SCUTI tour has sparked a mix of excitement and backlash within the music community. During a livestream interview with Adin Ross, Young Thug confirmed, “I’m going on tour to begin the next year. I’m gonna take a few people. Quavo, that’s one person that’s going on it.” This collaboration is particularly noteworthy given their previous work together on the track “Spider or Jeffery.”
While some fans express enthusiasm, others have reacted negatively to the partnership. A post shared by Young Thug, featuring a clip of him and Quavo in the studio, has drawn significant attention. The video, captioned with Quavo’s handle, prompted a wave of criticism on social media. One user questioned the timing of their collaboration, stating, “Sooo GUNNA WORKING WITH SET AND THIS IS YOUR LINK UP?” This sentiment seems to reflect a broader frustration with Young Thug and his choices in light of recent events.
Online discussions have highlighted a perceived rivalry between Young Thug and his former collaborators. One commenter remarked, “Yep. The way how Gunna and Offset have gotten close… Of course these sissies wanna be them now.” This statement reveals a tension that has surfaced as fans speculate about the implications of Young Thug’s and Quavo’s renewed partnership.
Despite the backlash, Offset recently addressed concerns regarding any potential tension between himself and Quavo. “It be the internet trying to do some old sh*t, but with us, it ain’t about that,” he stated. “We gotta holla at each other in the day, at the end of the day, man. That’s family at the end of the day, man.” His comments suggest a desire to maintain familial ties regardless of the surrounding drama.
Young Thug’s Album Performance
In addition to the tour news, Young Thug’s latest album, UY SCUTI, has received a lukewarm reception on the music charts. The album debuted at number six on the Billboard Hot 200, selling approximately 52,000 units, with just 13,000 of those being physical copies. These figures indicate that while Young Thug remains a significant figure in the industry, the album’s performance may not have met initial expectations.
As the music community watches the dynamics between these artists unfold, the anticipation surrounding Young Thug’s tour and collaborations continues to grow. Fans and critics alike will be keenly observing how these relationships evolve in the coming months, especially as the music landscape remains ever-changing.
