Rich Homie Quan Stands by Young Thug
Wunna can’t seem to catch a break. The YSL trial has cast a shadow over Gunna, and it’s not just fans who are taking sides—fellow rappers are too. What makes this situation even more unfortunate is that two artists who once made magic together, Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug, are now in a tragic situation. Back in 2014, under the moniker Rich Gang, they delivered the classic hit single “Lifestyle,” a song that defined an era. However, life took them in different directions, causing some distance between them. Despite the separation, there was always respect between the two, and many hoped that one day they might reconcile and reignite their chemistry on record.
Sadly, that dream will never come to pass. Rich Homie Quan has passed away, and Young Thug is currently on trial facing serious RICO charges. The opportunity to resurrect Rich Gang or any version of it is now gone forever. But even though they didn’t get to collaborate again, Quan’s loyalty to Thug was clear—especially when it came to the situation with Gunna.
Gunna’s role during the YSL trial has sparked a lot of tension within the rap community. Many believe that by taking a plea deal, Gunna left Young Thug, his label boss, to bear the brunt of the charges. This perceived betrayal has led to widespread backlash, with many artists openly dissing Gunna. Even Young Thug’s children took to social media to express their disappointment with Gunna. To add to the heat, Kendrick Lamar seemingly took a jab at Gunna in his song “Euphoria,” using him as a negative example.
Rich Homie Quan Joins the Disses
Though he’s no longer with us, Rich Homie Quan made his stance clear before his passing. Quan had released his posthumous album, Forever Goin’ In, and didn’t hold back when addressing the Gunna situation. On his track “One of Quan,” he takes direct shots at Gunna, even riffing on the title of Gunna’s latest album, “One of Wunna.” By doing so, Rich Homie Quan aligned himself with those in the industry who believe Gunna’s actions during the trial betrayed Young Thug and the YSL label.

What makes this entire situation even more tragic is the lost potential for a Rich Gang reunion. As two artists who once had undeniable chemistry, the chance for Young Thug and Rich Homie Quan to collaborate again has been permanently cut short. Quan’s passing and Thug’s ongoing legal battle mean that their musical magic will remain in the past. And now, with the tension between Gunna and other artists like Quan, the rift within the YSL family only seems to grow deeper.
As the rap world holds its breath and traces Young Thug’s trial, it becomes apparent that the consequences of Gunna’s behavior will not go unnoticed. The history of Rich Gang will always come with something that never happened, and for the fans, it is sadness of how quickly friends, loyalty, and success have come and gone in the close to the hip hop industry.
Rich Homie Quan Accuses Gunna of Copying His Style
In a bold move, Quan has come forward with serious allegations against Gunna, claiming that the rapper has been stealing his style. In his latest track, he addresses the ongoing debate about Gunna allegedly borrowing his flow for several of his own albums. Rather than admitting to any form of imitation, Quan emphatically defends himself, arguing that the fans have misunderstood the situation. “They probably gon think I took over Gunna’s flow, but this my cadence and I made it,” he passionately raps. With a tone of indignation, he continues, “Ngas was stealing the swag; I was just sitting back and wouldn’t even say sht.” This declaration not only asserts his originality but also emphasizes his frustration over Gunna’s appropriation of his musical style.
In the song, Quan reveals that he feels disrespected by Gunna’s actions but has chosen not to call him out publicly until now. His comments highlight a larger conversation within the rap community about originality and respect among artists. You might expect such a sharp diss to generate significant buzz in the music world, but interestingly, it was overshadowed by another high-profile diss aimed at Gunna on the very same night.
On the day that Rich Homie Quan released his posthumous album, Forever Goin’ In, A$AP Ferg dropped a new single titled “Allure.” This track featured a guest verse from Future, who has longstanding ties with Young Thug. Future’s lyrical assault on Gunna was even more intense than Quan’s, further intensifying the scrutiny on Gunna’s actions.
Gunna Facing Heat from All Sides
With no sugarcoating, Future makes a bold implication regarding Gunna’s future, alluding to a grim fate awaiting him due to his perceived betrayal of Young Thug. “You done took a plea on my slime,” Future spits, leaving little room for interpretation. “Won’t be surprised if you ended up dead.”
The heat Gunna is facing from multiple fronts is palpable. With Rich Homie Quan and Future both making their feelings known, it’s clear that Gunna is in a precarious position within the industry. This flood of criticism adds to the pressures he faces, possibly explaining why he has been frequently spotted at the gym, perhaps as a way to cope with the stress.
Gunna’s situation highlights the nature of the rap industry, where artists must navigate their careers carefully to maintain their reputation. As the landscape continues to develop, it remains to be seen how Gunna will respond to these accusations and whether he will address the criticisms head on or choose to keep a low profile amidst the chaos.
