Young Thug came through with his first major collaboration in 2025, as promised.
Thugger appeared on Lil Baby's brand-new album WHAM which dropped on Friday, January 3. He teamed up with Future on Baby's new hit "Dum, Dumb and Dumber." On the Wheezy-produced song, the Georgia native began his verse by referring to his two-year stint in jail during the YSL RICO trial.
"King Spider back," he began. "I don't even believe I was locked up, for real, for real I was havin' my way the whole time, fool, you know what I'm sayin'?"
WARNING: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE
Thugger also had to explain one of his lyrics after some fans made a fuss online. In a post on X, he reassured his female fans in the U.S. that he was not calling them "ugly."
"When I said these U.S b***hes kinda bad I meant “bad girls” not ugly girls.. we got the prettiest girls on earth…" he wrote.
Young Thug dropped his BUSINESS IS BUSINESS album in June 2023 while he was in jail awaiting his trial. A year later, Thugger teased his collaboration with Lil Baby during the height of the trial. In a post on X, he told fans "whateva wham say goes." The 33-year-old artist took to social media several days after his release from jail in October and fueled more hype for his comeback with another post directed at Lil Baby.
"Wham let’s drop one on these rats peter," he wrote.
In the days leading up to Baby's new album, a snippet of an unreleased verse from Young Thug surfaced online. Thugger can be heard rapping, "Never associate with a rat," which some fans interpreted as a sneak diss toward Gunna. The verse was not included in "Dum, Dumb and Dumber," however, it's possible that it could pop up in another collaboration Baby is saving for the deluxe version.
"@thuggerthugger1 chil bra the deluxe coming Tuesday it's on thereeee," Baby wrote on his Instagram Story.
