Young Thug Appears to Ask for Gunna Song to Be Turned Off Before New York Performance
The distance between Young Thug and Gunna appears to have resurfaced in another public moment.
A viral video circulating online appears to show Young Thug asking a store manager to skip “Dollaz On My Head,” a Gunna track that also features Young Thug, while visiting a store ahead of a YSL performance at Irving Plaza in New York City.
Although the brief interaction lasted only a few moments, it quickly spread across social media, reigniting conversations about the once-close collaborators whose relationship has changed dramatically since the high-profile YSL legal case.
Neither Young Thug nor Gunna has publicly commented on the viral clip.
The Viral Moment
According to videos shared online, Young Thug was visiting a store before his scheduled appearance when Gunna’s “Dollaz On My Head” began playing over the speakers.
The footage appears to show Young Thug asking the store manager to change the song.
The moment was brief, but fans quickly circulated the clip across social media, with many interpreting it as another sign that the relationship between the two rappers remains strained.
While the video has fueled discussion, neither artist has confirmed why the song was changed or addressed the incident publicly.
From Close Collaborators to Separate Paths
Before the legal proceedings involving YSL, Young Thug and Gunna were considered one of Atlanta’s strongest creative partnerships.
Together, they released numerous collaborations that became fan favorites and helped define the signature sound associated with YSL Records.
Their chemistry on tracks such as “Dollaz On My Head” made them one of hip-hop’s most successful mentor-and-protégé pairings.
That relationship, however, changed after both artists became involved in the sweeping YSL criminal case.
How the YSL Case Changed Everything
Young Thug and Gunna were both arrested during the broader YSL investigation.
Gunna was later released after accepting a plea agreement before the case proceeded to trial.
His release prompted widespread debate among fans, with some criticizing his decision, while others defended his legal strategy.
Young Thug remained involved in the case for a significantly longer period before eventually resolving his own legal matter through a separate plea agreement.
Since then, Young Thug has made several comments and public gestures that many fans have interpreted as indicating that his relationship with Gunna is no longer what it once was.
Fans Continue to Watch Their Separate Careers
Despite the split between the former collaborators, both artists have continued moving forward professionally.
Gunna has maintained a consistent release schedule and remained commercially successful following his legal case.
Meanwhile, Young Thug has focused on rebuilding his career after spending an extended period navigating the legal proceedings.
Their separate musical paths continue to draw comparisons from fans who once viewed them as one of rap’s defining duos.
Why the Clip Matters
For many hip-hop fans, the viral video represents more than a brief interaction in a store.
It serves as another reminder of how dramatically the relationship between Young Thug and Gunna appears to have changed since the YSL case reshaped both of their careers.
Still, without comments from either artist, the meaning behind the moment remains open to interpretation.
What’s Next for Young Thug and Gunna?
Whether Young Thug and Gunna will ever reconcile remains unknown.
For now, both artists continue to build their careers independently, while fans closely follow every public interaction for clues about where their relationship stands.
As Atlanta’s hip-hop scene continues to evolve, the story of two former collaborators remains one of its most closely watched narratives.
