Young Thug has apologized to GloRilla after calling her “ugly as f—” in a leaked jail phone call with his girlfriend, Mariah The Scientist.
Thugger took to X on Thursday (Sept. 4), walking back his statements from behind bars and saying in reality, he doesn’t think she’s “ugly at all.”
“First of all I’m sorry to u for my words and I honestly don’t think ur ugly at all, I was speaking from jail just having a hard time with life,” Thug wrote. “I don’t like bashing girls and hardly ever did.. I’m sorry to u twin.”
Fans seemed to respect Thug for taking accountability for his words. “Finally a good tweet, this is a step in the right direction,” one person replied.
Another chimed in: “Accountability [checkmark emoji] they don’t know the struggle of sitting in that box alone.”
In the midst of the chaos of her name being thrown around, GloRilla fired off a subliminal tweet about a certain guy blowing up her phone, which many thought was about Thug.
“Mind you dis da same n—a blowing my phone up to ask what color my eyes is lmaooo,” she wrote.
During the jail call in question, Thug mocked Glo’s looks for being compared to Rihanna. “That bi— ugly as f—. They say she ain’t ugly, man that bi— ain’t nothing,” he said. “Long a– bullsh– a– wig, skinny sh–, God damn big a– head, big mouth. … I would not pursue her, like at all… That sh– ain’t nothing.”
There’s been a flood of alleged leaked jail phone calls from Thug during his time behind bars throughout the YSL RICO case (May 2022-October 2024). One that caught fire on social media found the YSL rapper claiming he purchased $50,000 worth of streams for Gunna’s DS4EVER album to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 over The Weeknd’s Dawn FM in January 2022.
