Young Thug is moving fast to make things right. On September 26, the Atlanta superstar took to X (formerly Twitter) to publicly apologize after fans noticed Rod Wave’s verse was missing from the reflective track “Blaming Jesus” on Thug’s new album, Uy Scuti.
The omission sparked instant disappointment online, with fans of Rod Wave voicing frustration over the absence of the soulful vocals they’d eagerly anticipated. Social media quickly lit up with confusion, memes, and calls for answers, as the collaboration had been one of the album’s most hyped moments.
Thug Addresses the Oversight
