Young Thug didn’t hold back his sarcasm after spotting Gunna’s missing YSL tattoo in a recent gym selfie, poking fun at the move with a pointed Instagram comment.
Gunna issued a statement after he took a plea deal in the YSL RICO case that ensnared Young Thug, Gunna, Lil Rod, Yak Gotti and others.
In December 2022, Gunna issued a statement and acknowledged YSL was a music label and a gang.
“I have chosen to end my own RICO case with an Alford plea and end my personal ordeal by publicly acknowledging my association with YSL,” Gunna said.
The tattoo cover-up, first spotted in shirtless photos Gunna posted online, erased the YSL logo that once symbolized his loyalty to the label. The move apparently rankled Thugger, who decided to comment.
“I mean… he said it must end lol,” Young Thug wrote in response to the tattoo removal.

Gunna’s latest ink swap has only fueled speculation that his relationship with Young Thug is fractured beyond repair.
Social media lit up with theories about whether the rapper was distancing himself from the crew that helped launch his career.
this Gunna Young Thug beef ain’t your regular rap drama.

Despite public backlash and rumors of snitching, Gunna has insisted he never cooperated with prosecutors.
“I have NOT made any statements, I have NOT been interviewed, I have NOT cooperated, I have NOT agreed to testify or be a witness for or against any party in the case,” he said in a statement following his release.
Still, the optics of the plea—and now the tattoo removal—have only deepened the divide between the two rappers.
Young Thug also pleaded guilty in the same RICO case and was sentenced to time served and 15 years of probation.

Joe Biden addressed the public Monday (May 19) after confirming he’s battling an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones.
The 82-year-old former president took to Instagram to thank supporters and reflect on the emotional weight of the diagnosis.
“Cancer touches us all,” he wrote. “Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places. Thank you for lifting us up with love and support.”
The message was posted alongside a photo of Biden with his wife Jill Biden and their cat.
Biden’s office released a statement Sunday confirming the diagnosis, which followed a medical evaluation prompted by worsening urinary symptoms.
“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms,” the statement read.
“On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone.”
The statement added that although the cancer is aggressive, it is hormone-sensitive, which allows for treatment options that could help manage the disease.
“The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians,” the statement said.
In an unexpected show of support, Donald Trump posted a message on Truth Social offering well wishes.
“Melania (Trump) and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis,” Trump wrote. “We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.”

Diddy allegedly tried to force his way into Cassie Ventura’s home with a hammer after a brutal hotel assault, according to testimony delivered Monday (May 19) in a New York courtroom.
The disturbing claim came from Kerry Morgan, a former assistant and close friend of Ventura, who described a terrifying encounter that followed the now-public 2016 hotel beating.
That incident, captured on surveillance footage and shown in court last week, showed Diddy attacking Ventura in a hallway.
Morgan told jurors the violence didn’t stop there. She said Diddy showed up at Ventura’s residence shortly after she arrived and tried to break in.
“He was hitting the door with a hammer to try to open it,” Morgan testified. “I was freaking out. I don’t think (Ventura) cared if (Diddy) came in and killed her.”
Morgan said Ventura had a black eye at the time and appeared emotionally detached. She claimed Diddy arrived about 30 minutes after she got there.
The assistant also testified that she was assaulted by Diddy in 2018 inside Ventura’s Hollywood Hills apartment. She said the Hip-Hop mogul accused Ventura of cheating and turned violent.
“He choked me,” Morgan told the court, adding that she had “finger marks on my neck.” She continued, “When I got up, he boomeranged a (coat) hanger at my head.”
Morgan said she sought medical help at an urgent care clinic and was diagnosed with a concussion. She told the court that the attack ended her friendship with Ventura.
Diddy is currently facing federal charges including sex trafficking, racketeering and transporting individuals for prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty to all allegations.

Megan Thee Stallion unloaded on social media after a growing wave of support for Tory Lanez, including a public pardon request from a sitting member of Congress, reignited debate over the 2020 shooting that left her injured.
The Grammy-winning rapper appeared fed up after Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna urged California Gov. Gavin Newsom to pardon Lanez, who is serving a 10-year sentence for shooting Megan in the foot.
I am calling on Gov. Newsom @CAgovernor to review Tory Lanez’s case and issue a pardon.
His 10-year sentence was based on flawed evidence, political pressure, and prosecutorial bias. Justice must be blind— not driven by headlines.
Free Tory Lanez.https://t.co/7rvvrJI4r7
— Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (@RepLuna) May 19, 2025
Luna claimed the case was politically motivated and called the evidence “flawed,” demanding Lanez be released immediately.
“His 10-year sentence was based on flawed evidence, political pressure, and prosecutorial bias. Justice must be blind— not driven by headlines Free Tory Lanez,” Luna wrote.
In a lengthy post on her Instagram Stories, Megan Thee Stallion didn’t hold back. “At what point are yall gonna stop making me have to re live being shot BY TORY!? At what point are Tory and yall FANS gonna stop lying? Like how much is the check to keep harassing me? Why is this happening EVERY DAY?? One min him/ yall said I was never shot now yall letting him play in yall face AGAIN and say I was shot but it wasn’t him oh okay… ?” she wrote.
Her frustration comes as a petition calling for Lanez’s release has gained more than 266,000 signatures, backed by celebrities like Drake, Chris Brown and Ty Dolla $ign.
The petition, launched by the Caldwell Institute for Public Safety, argues Lanez’s conviction lacked solid physical evidence and was tainted by political bias.
Megan Thee Stallion continued, “I’m sick of this s### LEAVE ME TF ALONE!!!! HE AINT DARE GET ON THAT STAND AND DENY HE SHOT ME AND THAT WAS HIS CHOICE BECAUSE HE KNOWS HE DID THAT S###!”
Tory Lanez was convicted in December 2022 of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and other charges. His legal team has since launched an appeal, citing new witness testimony and alleged mishandling of forensic evidence.
A man named Bradley James, who identified himself as the former bodyguard of Megan’s ex-friend Kelsey Harris, claimed Harris admitted to firing the gun.
According to James, Harris confessed during a phone call that she fired three shots and that Lanez only tried to stop her by pushing her arm down.
Lanez’s attorneys say James’s account aligns with testimony from Sean Kelly, a neutral witness who said he saw two women fighting before shots were fired from the passenger side of the vehicle.
Despite the new claims, Megan’s legal team maintained that the trial was fair and that the verdict was just. Harris, who was granted immunity during the trial, has not responded publicly to the latest allegations.
Megan added in her post, “FACTS ARE FACTS , he did it , it was PROVEN IN COURT f### the hate campaign on the internet TORY YOU SHOT ME !! Ain’t no new f###### evidence yall been saying the same s### for years TORY PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE you a f###### demon. I’m off this silly ass internet s###, BYE.”
