When the walls close in, even the strongest voices can crack—and Young Thug admits his did.

Young Thug has finally broken his silence on the leaked phone call scandals that have been dominating headlines. Appearing on a new podcast with Big Bank, the Atlanta rapper opened up about his state of mind during those conversations, admitting that the comments were a reflection of his lowest moments behind bars. “I was so f*cked up I felt like it was just over […] at this point I’m thinking life ain’t what it is, I’m just talking,” he said.

Thug acknowledged the backlash but stressed that the context matters. Locked up and dealing with the pressure of a high-profile RICO case, he revealed that isolation pushed him into uncharacteristic behavior. “I ain’t ever been the n*** to talk about nobody else in my life, the last few days I just been sitting thinking what was I doing?” His words suggest regret, but also a determination to clarify his intentions.

The rapper also emphasized that while he may have said things in frustration, he has never shied away from accountability. He noted that if he had something to say, he could stand on it face-to-face, reinforcing his reputation for being direct.

This marks the first time Thug has publicly reflected on the leaks, and it paints a picture of a man wrestling with both his current reality and the weight of his words. For fans, it’s a rare glimpse into the emotional toll the case has taken, as well as his effort to reclaim control of his narrative.
