Young Thug shared his thoughts about Kendrick Lamar and gave Drake his flowers in another leaked call from his time in jail.
In the newly released audio, the 34-year-old rapper appears to react after K.Dot allegedly declined his request to collaborate on a song for his previous album Business Is Business. After discussing Lamar's rare appearances on songs by his cousin Baby Keem, Thug questioned why Lamar wouldn't "want to do a feature with a superstar?"
"These n***as too big like 'Ion wanna do no features. Why?" Thug said. "Why you don't wanna do no features? Why wouldn't you wanna do a feature for a superstar?"

"It ain't like Strick calling you for a song," he continued. 'You really got Lil Durk for a song. Lil Baby, Thug, real superstars calling you for a song. Why wouldn't you do the song? We lit and we going No. 1 too. F**k is you thinking? I don't be understanding that type of s**t."
Later in the conversation, Young Thug gives Drake his props for working with him no matter what the circumstances are. Drizzy gave Thug not one but two verses for Business Is Business, including the intro "Parade On Cleveland" and "Oh You Went." Thug praised Drake for blessing him and trashed Lamar for not even entertaining the idea.
"You supposed to be a nigga who bless a n***as," Thug said. "That's why them n***as will never be bigger than Drake, ever in life. They'll never be bigger than Buddy. Buddy gonna do it right. Buddy f**k with everybody. You know many n***a lives Drake changed? How many n***as can take care of their families because of Buddy? Kendrick, goddamn, put a n***a on. You're a superstar. You done ran up a few hundred M's, but you ain't put nobody on though. You ain't even put Keem on."
Thug's comment came from another leaked call from jail. It's the latest recording to turn the Internet inside out following the series of calls that spread on social media over the weekend. As of this report, neither Thug nor Kendrick has responded to the leaked call.
