(Video) Uh…What? Young Thug Talks About His Label Situation At The BET Awards & It’s More Confusing Than Ever
Young Thug’s record deal situation has been a topic of convo for some time, as he’s had multiple affiliations with labels since his start in the game, but none have quite been confirmed by the ATL rapper. Recently, however, Kevin Liles revealed that he had signed Young Thug to 300, a new label that was launched by himself and fellow industry execs Lyor Cohen and Todd Moscowitz. But last night on the red carpet at the BET Awards with his manager Birdman, Thugga managed to make it confusing once again. Check out what he told MTV below!
Lil Wayne & The YMCMB Camp Say They’re Still Rockin’ Out With Justin Bieber!
Justin Bieber has been feeling the wrath ever since two videos of him when he was 15 telling racist jokes surfaced. However, his YMCMB homies say they’re still rockin’ with the Biebz no matter what! Young Money president Mack Maine released a statement to TMZ explaining how Justin “legitimately adopted the culture of the hip hop, African American culture.” Mack then went on to explain how he once told a super offensive and racist joke when he was younger. “I remember telling a white man, Chinese man, Black man joke as a kid that was terrible and I told it to my friends because I thought they’d think it was funny,” he said. The only difference is that he never got caught. He also added that JB’s crew is basically all black and that, “Bieber does not have a slave mentality. He treats his people with respect.” You’re still good money with the YMCMB clique, Justin. WHEW!

(Photos) Young Thug Covers Complex Magazine…And Gives The Greatest Interview Ever
Young Thug is making waves in the music industry, and continues his rise to superstardom as he covers the June/July issue of Complex magazine….a cover that almost didn’t happen because of his antics. To top it off, the accompanying interview he gave leaves MUCH to be desired, but luckily his mentor Birdman swooped in to salvage at least some of it. I definitely do enjoy Thugga and his highly-entertaining songs and photos…but behavior like this starting this early in his career doesn’t seem too promising! Check out the interview below and hit the link for the full story. It’s a really great read (because of the folks at Complex, not Young Thug…LOL.)
