Speaker 1 (00:00):
Recently, Young Thug spoke on the Pivot podcast about how
certain artists showed their loyalty when leaked jail phone calls
started circulating. Those calls created headlines, stirred speculation, and had
people questioning who was really standing with him. According to Thug,

(00:21):
three artists never wavered Drake, Lil Baby, and twenty one Savage.
He said, when the leaks hit, Drake texted him directly
telling him he loved him, telling him to forget the
noise and to let the music talk. Thug described it
as a moment where he could see people's true colors.

(00:41):
Some reached out, some didn't. For him, the ones that
did were proof of who's real. He even went as
far as saying Drake, Baby and Savage are the realest
people he's met. That's a heavy statement, especially in a
culture where loyalty is the ultimate currency. This moment isn't
just about support texts or private calls. It's about reputation

(01:06):
and positioning. Leaked conversations can be weaponized, They can shift
how people are perceived. By naming the ones who stood
by him, Thug is sending a message his circle isn't broken,
it's clarified. It also comes at a strategic time. Thug
is rolling out music and both Lil Baby and twenty

(01:28):
one Savage are on the new album. The story reinforces
those ties and amplifies anticipation. Meanwhile, Drake's public show of
support only adds weight to the narrative. But there's another
side here. Thug hinted at those who stayed quiet, people
who didn't call, didn't check in. He didn't name them,

(01:53):
but leaving it open invites fans to speculate that in
itself reshuffles how people view alliances in the industry. At
the end of the day, this is a classic hip
hop moment where personal loyalty, public image, and music promotion
all collide. It's part confessional, part marketing, and part challenge

(02:16):
to anyone who didn't show up when the leagus dropped.
So here's the question. Will those named keep showing that
same support publicly, maybe even in the music And will
the ones who stayed quiet ever speak up or will
silence say it all? This is Spate Radio. Thanks for
locking in until next time, Stay sharp, stay curious, and

(02:40):
stay loyal.
