“Ye said almost 😅, guess we didn’t get the job done”

Young Thug reflects on a near-miss collaboration with Kanye West, likely tied to their past studio sessions during the The Life of Pablo era. Only one of Thug’s contributions made the final cut back then, and this tweet hints at yet another unrealized project. It stirred buzz among fans, many referencing past creative friction or West’s shifting priorities.

This tweet addresses a 2022 leaked jail call involving Leena Sayed, where she expressed feelings for Thug. His comment uses “twin” to downplay the situation while reinforcing loyalty to Mariah the Scientist. The term “pushing the p” signals assertiveness or influence, drawing from hip-hop slang.

This statement came just hours after prosecutors attempted to revoke Thug’s probation, citing a previous post interpreted as threatening. Thug’s response insists on his peaceful intentions and distances himself from the allegations.
