There always an artist out there saying something so outlandish, or so crazy, that everyone is bound to take notice. That seems to be what happened when Young Thug called Birdman his “lover” on Instagram.
“Me and my lover dripping!!!!” Young Thug wrote in reference to Birdman.
I’m not sure about how the Cash Money Records co-founder feels about being referenced as another man’s “lover” but it’s not like the Lil Wayne “daddy” jokes were going away anytime soon right?
Young Thug is sort of an enigma, as he’s embraced wearing dressed and even painting his nails. It seems like Birdman wants to bring this to the mainstream, as he’s already talked to HipHopDX about Young Thug becoming “a superstar.”
“I think a lot of rappers—niggas now just rapping a lot,” Birdman said. “And it don’t take a lot of rap to make a hit record,” Birdman said. “You know, you got the Wayne and the Drakes who really take songs and don’t rap at all. Might sing on a song. Might do just a little rapping. That’s what I see in him. He one of them that can do that. You know, Wayne developed into doing all these different things. And you got these young artists who really, Wayne is the mold for them. They watched Wayne. They studied Wayne. And he coming in the game like that. To me that put him on a higher level. Our plan as YMCMB and Rich Gang is to make him a superstar, a rock star.”
