“Don’t ask me how I got the picture, but I appreciate all the people that were there. Young Thug has linked up in the studio with all these individuals,” Akademiks said. “I gotta think they’re either still working on whatever’s coming out for Baby … I think this was the Avengers of n—-s linking up — this was the f–k Gunna Avengers.”
Producer LondonOnDaTrack posted a photo to his IG Story on Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack private jet on Monday, signaling he could’ve also been involved in the studio session.
Billboard has reached out to Young Thug, Travis Scott, Future and Lil Baby’s reps for comment.
Last week, Young Thug appeared to be teasing new music with Lil Baby as he tweeted “Wham let’s drop one on these rats peter” shortly after his release from jail.
Billboards also began popping up in Los Angeles that repeated, “Whatever Wham Says Goes,” which could possibly be hinting at a title of their collab or Baby’s next album.
While he plots his next move, Thug has been busy in the two weeks since regaining his freedom. Thugger was seen at the studio with T.I. and also delivered an impromptu lecture to his attorney Brian Steel’s law school class about the importance of defense attorneys.
Young Thug secured his freedom on Oct. 31 after reaching a plea deal agreement that saw him sentenced to 15 years of probation and bring his 700-plus days behind bars to an end as part of the YSL RICO trial.
