Young Thug Apologizes After New Wave of Alleged Jail-Call Leaks Hits Future and Drake

A flood of unverified jail-call audio is testing industry ties across rap.

Overview

  • Young Thug posted a public apology to Mariah The Scientist after a leaked clip featured him admitting he cheated the day before his May 2022 arrest.
  • He was heard in newly circulated audio disparaging Future’s parenting and criticizing him for declining a proposed “Free Thug” show, with an extended call featuring additional insults.
  • Separate clips allegedly capture Thug faulting Drake for not doing more to help secure his release and for how he handled Metro Boomin following his mother’s death, even as Ian Connor shared purported Drake messages and audio recounting a jail visit.
  • A fan account circulated what it said was an unfinished, jail‑phone‑recorded Young Thug verse intended for Future and Metro Boomin’s Where My Twin @.
  • Reactions mounted as Future associate Zona Man defended Future on Instagram, The Game labeled the leaking of private audio as “the new snitching,” and Mariah posted lyrics on Instagram that appeared to address Thug’s apology, while online speculation about other voices in the calls remained unverified.
