Young Thug is making amends — on wax. The rapper just released a new song, “Man I Miss My Dogs,” where he apologizes to friends, collaborators, and loved ones for things he said during leaked jail calls.
The track addresses several key figures in his life, including Drake, 21 Savage, Lil Baby, and his girlfriend Mariah the Scientist, showing a reflective side of Thugger fans haven’t seen before.
A Personal Apology to Mariah the Scientist
Thug begins with a heartfelt message to his girlfriend, revealing that one of his greatest fears is losing her to the internet. The leaked jail calls suggested Thug had cheated on Mariah and lied about it, but the song frames his apology as a moment of honesty and accountability.
“Mariah, you know I never meant to hurt you,” he raps, confronting the personal fallout from his past mistakes.
Reconciling with Drake
Young Thug also addresses Drake, one of hip-hop’s biggest names, in the song:
“Drizzy, you my brother / You know I ain’t going against you / I got manners / Everything you did for the rap community can’t ban you / Never diss you / Came to visit me at Cobb County like my kin do / F*** the jail call, you know the other calls we had.”
Fans interpret this as a direct response to speculation that Thug had dissed Drake during the controversial jail calls.
Shoutout to 21 Savage and Others
Thug also takes a moment to apologize to 21 Savage, referencing long jail conversations:
“Savage, you are a real n**** / Don’t let them tell you different.”
He previously apologized to GloRilla as well, after calling her ugly during a jail call with Mariah. Clearly, the rapper is trying to clean the slate with both his friends and the public.
Apology Through Art
The music video and track, released Thursday, present a vulnerable Young Thug, blending personal reflection with his signature style. By turning private apologies into a public song, he not only addresses the individuals involved but also shares his growth and remorse with fans.
Whether it’s reconciling with collaborators or mending his relationship with Mariah, Thugger’s “Man I Miss My Dogs” is an emotional statement that proves he’s willing to own up to his mistakes — all while staying true to his artistry.
