“I love people so much to the point that, the only thing that will make me not love you anymore is betrayal,” says Young Thug as he towers over _GQ’s_ Zach Baron in a perfectly landscaped garden, which sits next to an eccentric taxidermy-filled mansion on the East Side of Los Angeles.

In October of last year, the rapper Young Thug walked free from the Fulton County jail in Atlanta, concluding one of the strangest and most fraught spectacles in modern music. In May 2022 as part of a complex RICO case, Georgia prosecutors alleged that Young Thug—in addition to being the head of a record label, YSL—was also the leader of a gang of the same name. What followed was the longest criminal trial in Georgia history.

Since getting out, Young Thug has mostly laid low, to the point of sometimes wearing a mask in public. He has not said much about the last few years of his life, or about anything at all, really… until now. This is the _GQ_ Video Covery Story with Young Thug.
