Young Thug Addresses Leaked Prison Calls, Hints at Drake Collaboration on New Song “Man I Miss My Dogs“
Rapper Young Thug has released “Man I miss my Dogs,” his first solo track as being released from jail in October 2024 after pleading guilty to participating in criminal street gang activity. The song directly references strained relationships with several prominent artists and appears to respond to the recent circulation of leaked phone calls made during his incarceration.
The release marks a pivotal moment for the influential artist as he transitions back into the music scene following a prolonged legal battle. “Man I Miss My Dogs” offers a glimpse into the complex dynamics within the hip-hop community and signals Thug’s intent to reassert his position, while also addressing personal fallout revealed by the leaked calls.The track is expected to appear on his forthcoming album, Uy exempt, named after a massive red supergiant star.
On the track, Thug references a desire to collaborate with Drake, Metro Boomin, and Future, rapping, “Trying to get you, Metro, and pluto on the same page/The internet don’t know about it as real n**s don’t say.” He also alludes to a cooling relationship with Lil Baby, noting that the “Dum, Dumb, and Dumber” collaborator is no longer answering his calls.
Further verses appear directed toward Future, 21 Savage, and Gucci Mane, with Thug addressing concerns about loyalty and legal repercussions. He pleads, “Na, please I’m not a rat/But that cheese where it’s at/All the n****s on the case that didn’t take pleas, that is that.”
Prior to his release, Young Thug shared a collaboration with Future, “Money on Money,” in April 2024. The new song arrives as part of what *Pitchfork has described as “The Complex New Era of Young Thug,” following his guilty plea and return to music.
