Cardi B is on one heck of a run.
The rapper made a surprise appearance on Young Thug’s album, “UY SCUTI” featured on the track, “On The News.”
“How you laughing when I heard you getting b*at on, gotta pay your n*gga way every trip y’all be on,” she rapped.
Y’all feeling the Young Thug album and the Cardi verse?

It’s been a turbulent ride since Young Thug was released from jail in October 2024. Nearly 11 months later, Thugger finally returns to speak out with his music, as the highly anticipated UY Scuti album arrived on Friday (Sept. 26).
Thugger set the table for UY Scuti with the Future-assisted “Money on Money” in April. He followed up with “Miss My Dogs” earlier in September, which found him apologizing and addressing some major figures in his life, including girlfriend Mariah the Scientist, Drake, Gucci Mane, 21 Savage, Future and Lil Baby.
The Atlanta native’s last album, Business Is Business, was released in June 2023 while Thug was still behind bars. The LP debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 89,000 total album units earned.
UY Scuti suffered plenty of delays before arriving, as the project was previously rumored to be released in May and June, before getting pushed to Sept. 19.
Thug pivoted to Sept. 26 out of respect for Cardi B, who dropped her Am I the Drama? album on Sept. 19. “Yall know I wasn’t dropping Friday. It’s a ladies day,” he wrote to X. And Cardi replied, “And you better step next week …you got this, You know this !!”
Thugger explained to GQ in April about why he titled the project UY Scuti. “I just feel big, you know. The name of my album UY Scuti. I feel like I’m one of the biggest stars,” he said. “I did a lot. Founding this culture. The new rap game that’s happening right now. I’m out of this world. Not like God, though.”
Young Thug spent Wednesday (Sept. 24) at the Los Angeles federal courthouse supporting his friend Metro Boomin, who was facing trial in his civil sexual assault lawsuit.

Amid conversation surround what Atlanta rapper Young Thug has said on a number of leaked jail calls, the words of his girlfriend, Mariah The Scientist, are now under the spotlight, as she shared with her jailed beau at the time that rapper Kodak Black began hitting on her when Thugger was arrested on RICO charges in 2022.
The leaked audio finds the “Burning Blue” songstress sharing with her man that she feels the need to tell him “everything,” and goes on to read a message from a rapper who slid into her DMs. While the message starts off with well wishes for Young Thug, the sender then pivots into suggesting she should consider seeing him while the Business Is Business artist is locked up.
“But in the meantime, shawty, I’ve been f**ked up about you, and I just can’t put that to rest,” the man wrote. “I’d love to come to some kind of terms with you, bae. You know it’s queen treatment only.”
She then tells Young Thug her response, saying she told the sender, “I got a man and I ain’t going against what I got.” After asking him to guess who sent the DM, Thugger responds, “I don’t like guessing,” leading her to name Kodak Black. Listen to the leaked call below.
While this call revealed the “IDGAF” singer’s loyalty, previous leaked calls from Young Thug have shown just the opposite, as he admitted to cheating on the songstress at least two times on recorded audio. This includes admitting to sleeping with another woman the day before his RICO arrest, and a confession that he had sex with a corrections officer while behind bars. Listen to that audio below.
Young Thug issued an apology after the call leaked via X, writing, “My baby I was wrong and I’m sorry for what I put u through. U deserved better from me. Thank you for everything and I will do anything to make this work. U showed me what love is and I hope I haven’t lost u forever… everybody leave her out of this please she’s an innocent girl and feels bad about all of this. Please give her peace.”
Previously leaked jail calls also include the “Money On Money” rapper disparaging GloRilla, Future, Drake, Gunna, and others, as well as admitting to buying fake streams. In addition to Mariah, Young Thug also issued an apology to his peers.
“To everyone involved in this situation, I’m sorry this is happening, and I hope u guys can forgive me,” he wrote. “I’m moving forward with my life -THANK U GOD.”
Whew, boy drama!
Young Thug is facing backlash online after fans resurfaced an alleged leaked interrogation tape that appears to feature him mentioning Peewee Roscoe. The two-hour clip has gone viral.
Roscoe was previously accused of sh**ting at Lil Wayne’s tour bus in 2015, but he is now stepping forward to defend his longtime friend.
In an Instagram video, Roscoe dismissed the online accusations and stood firmly by Thug. “Jeff clean as listerine,” he said, making it clear he does not believe Thug cooperated against him. Roscoe also added that Thug had always tried to “pull me out the hole,” and he insisted the rapper never snitched on him.
The tape originally surfaced nearly two years ago, but fans have reignited the drama on Twitter. Some tied the controversy to Thug’s feud with Gunna, though Roscoe’s defense may shift the conversation.
What are your thoughts on this messy situation?
