- Paid for Gunna’s first apartment and his family’s home
- Bought Gunna’s brother a truck behind the scenes
- Tensions escalated after Gunna took a plea deal
In a recent sit-down, Young Thug laid his feelings bare, revealing how he poured time and resources into Gunna so much so that he says he “gave him more time than my kids.”
According to Eko Hot Blog, the Atlanta rapper recounted the extent of his support for Gunna, explaining how he made him a millionaire, bought him his first apartment, and even helped reconnect him with his family all out of loyalty and belief in his protégé.

He didn’t stop there; Young Thug also quietly purchased a house for Gunna’s mother and a truck for Gunna’s brother presented as gifts from Gunna, whom “didn’t even know what’s going on.”
Now, that generosity is giving way to hurt. Young Thug expressed sharp disappointment toward Gunna for accepting a plea deal in the high-profile YSL RICO case a move Thug sees as disloyal. Their bond, once personal and professional, now feels fragile.
Young Thug’s words paint a picture of deep emotional investment. He felt like a mentor who sacrificed for someone he believed in, only to feel let down. “I made him a millionaire… I gave him more time than my kids,” he said phrases that hint at both care and disillusionment.
This split has broader implications. Gunna’s plea deal in December 2022 where he admitted YSL was a gang but avoided a long prison sentence created a rift with Young Thug, who maintains his innocence and rejects any link to such claims.
With fame and loyalty on the line, their dynamic now reflects the tangled mix of business, street codes, and personal attachments that often shape hip-hop relationships. For fans, it raises questions: Can their friendship recover? Or is this the beginning of a lasting divide in Atlanta’s rap scene?
