Young Thug Trades Insults With French Montana Over Kendrick Lamar Comments
Written by SOURCE on April 22, 2020
Following French Montana‘s revisiting of his Kendrick Lamar comments, specifically his assertion that he has more “anthems” if he and Lamar were to have a hits battle, Young Thug has stepped into the discourse with a message of disapproval.
“Stupid ass n**** say he got more hits than Kendrick Lamar,” Thugger said in a clip shared to social media late Tuesday, followed by a camera zoom-assisted laugh. “Fool.” From there, Thugger and Montana entered into a back-and-forth of sorts that ultimately saw both artists criticizing the other’s legacy and financial standing.
Thugger, at one point, threatened to call up Meek Mill and have a video sent to him which allegedly shows Montana getting “knocked out.” Montana, meanwhile, has largely taken to mocking Thugger’s innovative fashion decisions.
“First of all, don’t get in your feelings, bro,” Thugger said in one clip. “I’m just speaking from the artist standpoint. You don’t got nowhere near more hits than no motherfuckin’ Kendrick Lamar.”
Montana has offered one million dollars in connection with the alleged video in Meek’s (also alleged) possession. And as for a certain 21 Savage tweet referenced by Montana, Thugger has explained that it was a joke and is unrelated to his and Montana’s still-in-progress disagreements. Montana has also threatened to “expose” Thugger, though he didn’t make clear what was meant by that.
Fans have largely responded by debating the merits of each artist’s creative output, while some are calling for the two to hold an Instagram Live hits battle of their own.
