Young Thug found himself at the center of online ridicule Wednesday (August 27) after old police interview audio resurfaced showing him allegedly naming Peewee Roscoe in connection to a high-profile shooting, prompting accusations of snitching and a wave of memes calling him a “rat.”
The clip, which quickly made the rounds on social media, features the Atlanta rapper in a police interrogation room discussing the 2015 shooting of Lil Wayne‘s tour bus.
During the two-hour audio recording, Thug appears to reference Roscoe. “They said Roscoe,” he says. “But I don’t wanna block out y’all case by saying Roscoe ain’t do that.”
He also adds, “Every day [Roscoe] broke the f###### law.”

The resurfaced recording triggered a flood of online commentary. Users compared Thug’s situation to that of Gunna, who was previously accused of cooperating with prosecutors after taking an Alford plea in the YSL RICO case.
One user wrote, “Legit nothing Gunna said was used in court either… You can’t move the goalpost now.”
Another added, “Young Thug came out of jail, burnt down bridges, released zero good music and just got exposed for being a rat. Tough scenes.”

Mad at the fact you disowned your brother Gunna over doing what he had to do.
System used him same way they used you.

Young Thug Reacts To Resurfaced Audio
Thug responded to the backlash on X( Twitter). He wrote, “They didn’t play my interrogation video in court cause I helped my brada #Ratwhere?
He also reposted a message from a fan account that read, “The DA kept objecting to letting it in.”
The irony wasn’t lost on many, given Thug’s past cryptic jabs at Gunna.
In earlier posts, Thug wrote, “If u a rapper and u a rat, u gotta just go gospel twin,” and “U f###### rat representer shut up,” which many interpreted as thinly veiled shots at his former collaborator.
Gunna, who walked free in December 2022 after entering an Alford plea, has consistently denied cooperating with authorities.
