Although his stage name remains Young Thug, the rapper appeared uncomfortable with sharing a first name similar to the late convicted sex offender. He did not share any further details about whether he plans to legally change his name or what he might choose instead.
Meek Mill also joined the conversation, asking him what he would change it to. Meanwhile, fans are already speculating about Thug’s next move. The moment comes as Young Thug continues to make headlines, including rumours of a possible appearance on Drake’s upcoming album, ‘Iceman’.
