This episode gets even deeper — Thug opens up about the YFN Lucci beef being squashed and the backlash he’s faced from the streets and industry for making peace. He also breaks down his relationships with Lil Durk, NBA YoungBoy, Lil Baby, and Drake, plus speaks on betrayal, loyalty, and how the rap game changes once you’re isolated by legal battles. Thug doesn’t shy away from the tough parts: he talks about leaked jail calls, extortion behind bars, and the emotional toll of being away from his family. He reflects on trust, the silent treatment from artists he once showed love to, and what it really feels like when the industry turns its back. At the same time, he shows respect to those he values, including YoungBoy, Baby, and Drake, while revealing his plans to move into more wholesome, uplifting music as part of his healing journey. This is Young Thug in a vulnerable, reflective space — balancing pain, backlash, and growth while still giving fans a look at what’s next. --- 🔥 Don’t miss Part 1 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHTPRAOq_5k 🎧 Listen on Black Effect / iHeart & everywhere you get podcasts. --- 💡 **Join the movement:** - Patreon for early access + full episodes: https://patreon.com/ItsUpTherePodcast - Discord community: https://discord.gg/3AwsHfDcJB --- #YoungThug #YFNLucci #LilDurk #NBAYoungBoy #LilBaby #Drake #itsuptherepodcast 0:00 Intro 2:34 “Miss My Dogs” record & leaked calls 3:00 Gunna & Brian Steele statement 4:11 YFN Lucci beef squashed + backlash 4:51 Lil Durk 15:39 NBA YoungBoy 16:00 YoungBoy’s growth 24:00 Lil Baby 26:00 Drake 30:00 Extortion & jail calls 36:00 Betrayal & loyalty 45:00 Industry politics & narratives 52:32 Closing thoughts (new album, wholesome music, moving with God) Join Our Its Up There Podcast Clip Channel now https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEh6Wk40kcNcMJ4t_jtmluw Discord https://discord.gg/GJKXMWQS For all exclusive interviews & more content not here click here https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 🚨Unreleased Interviews https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 🦺All Merch Options teespring.com/its-up-there-podcast-merch 🎧LISTEN ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Jheeb8FxYVDRo8khyrz36?si=e339dD2JRte2MYX2Uon3BQ 👀 SUBSCRIBE HERE:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl_GorAVekpEVDlk1Yc8giw 👂 LISTEN ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/its-up-there-podcast/id1317524092?uo=4 👣FOLLOW ITS UP THERE PODCAST HOST : INSTAGRAM | fogfo_looney TIKTOK | https://www.tiktok.com/@fogfo_looney PATREON| https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast SUBSCRIBE TO Youtube Channel ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl_GorAVekpEVDlk1Yc8giw WATCH MORE ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwNIuOcAtoo&list=PLnwwxLxHiDWayq4HPgNYUtsAGvqe3liOOSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

• Feat Young Thug - Young Thug BREAKS SILENCE on Jail Call EXTORTION, SENDS MESSAGE to Gunna & Addresses Features Pulled - Part 1

  Young Thug finally speaks out. In this raw and unfiltered interview, Thug reveals new details about being extorted over leaked jail calls, makes it clear he will never forgive Gunna, and addresses the rumors that his industry features were being pulled during the YSL trial. Young Thug finally speaks out after years of silence. In this explosive conversation on It’s Up There Podcast, Thug details how he was extorted over leaked jail calls, why he will never forgive Gunna, and clears the air on the rumors about his industry features being pulled during the YSL trial. For the first time, Thug lays out what really happened behind the walls — from paying money to stop private calls from leaking, to realizing people close to him were part of the betrayal. He breaks down how extortion works inside the system, the trauma of hearing his own conversations sold to the world, and why this betrayal feels different than anything he’s faced before. The Gunna question is answered directly. Thug admits there will never be reconciliation, even though he still has love. He explains what loyalty really means to him, why trust is forever broken, and how brotherhood changes once it’s mixed with business. The line that shook the culture — “I want you to eat, just not at my table” — is explained in full context here. The conversation also touches on industry politics. Thug responds to claims that rappers pulled features when the case hit. He sets the record straight about who stood by him — mentioning Drake, 21 Savage, Pluto (Future), Cash, and more — and why the narrative that he was abandoned doesn’t match reality. This episode is about more than music. It’s about survival, betrayal, and what it costs to be one of the most influential voices of this generation. Young Thug opens up about losing $50 million while in jail, spending $14 million on lawyers, and the paranoia that follows betrayal. He also dives into his controversial album cover, why he chose to spark conversation about race and artistry, and how he’s rebuilding both his career and his trust in people. If you want the truth behind the headlines, this is the episode you can’t miss.

  Charleston White breaks silence on Kanye West (“copying him”), Dr. Umar Johnson, Go Yayo, Jelly Roll, Wack 100 and 1090 Jake in a raw, unfiltered full interview with Loon on It’s Up There Podcast. From the Kanye chain moment and industry fallout to whether Loon can broker Charleston vs. Dr. Umar on an HBCU stage, this episode mixes culture, comedy, and uncomfortable truth for maximum clarity—and controversy. In this Charleston White podcast conversation, Loon pushes for specifics: Kanye’s playbook vs. Charleston’s “spin move,” schools inviting Go Yayo, how Jelly Roll was treated before he blew up, paperwork culture around 1090 Jake, and what real community work looks like (nonprofits, police partnerships, youth funding). If you follow Kanye West, Charleston White, Dr. Umar Johnson, Go Yayo, or Jelly Roll, this episode is a must-watch. 🔗 Links Patreon (early access): https://patreon.com/ItsUpTherePodcast Discord (community): https://discord.gg/3AwsHfDcJB Full playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnwwxLxHiDWYLCXvb81w69QAfr6cc1Y3N #ItsUpTherePodcast #CharlestonWhite #KanyeWest #DrUmarJohnson #GoYayo #JellyRoll0:00 - Introduction and Setting the Stage 00:00:00 – Charleston White Calls Out Kanye West & the Hidden Power of “Invisible Hands” 00:02:12 – Fixing the Rift with Dr. Umar Johnson: “The Missions Are Not the Same” 00:03:03 – The Barber Shop Attack: How Feds, Dirty Cops & Politics Got Involved 00:05:10 – From D.C. to Texas: Speaking Tours, Radical Labels & FBI Attention 00:08:00 – The Blueprint for Black Nonprofits & Why He Teamed Up With Police 00:10:14 – How Churches, Pastors & Nonprofits Really Get City Funding 00:12:11 – Breaking the “Anti-Police” Mold: Learning How the System Really Works 00:14:08 – Groomed to Sell Out: Why Charleston Turned Against the Culture 00:16:23 – Inferiority Complex & The Lie About Growing Up “From the Mud” 00:17:30 – Betrayal, Friends Coming Home From Prison & Street Politics Lessons 00:22:16 – Joining a Gang in the Early ’90s: TV Influence & Acronym Brainwashing 00:26:14 – Monster Kody’s Book & the Rise of Gang Knowledge Power 00:27:02 – Charleston on 1090 Jake: “There Should Be a Call of Action” 00:30:14 – Jelly Roll’s Journey: Mistreatment, Survival & Country Music Takeover 00:35:52 – Comparing Jelly Roll’s Story to Joseph in the Bible 00:37:14 – Fort Worth Dropped the Ball: Go Yayo, Schools & Missed Opportunities 00:40:33 – Riding the Bus, Raising Kids, & Community Work Without Support 00:42:15 – Exposing Federal Snitches: The Truth Behind the Barber Shop Attack 00:46:04 – Hip-Hop’s Rhetoric, Colors & How Songs Indoctrinated Kids 00:49:09 – How Hollywood Turned Gangsterism Into a Mind-Altering Machine 00:53:09 – Live Interview Strategy: Building Equity & Controlling the Narrative 00:55:57 – Why Charleston Chose to Play the Villain to Save Black Culture 00:57:32 – Loon Plans a Charleston x Umar Johnson Live Show at HBCUs 00:58:22 – Hollywood is an Entity: The Power of Imagery & Villain Marketing 00:59:38 – Gangster Imagery as a Substance: Why Hip-Hop Shapes Minds 01:00:00 - Violence and Legal Consequences 01:03:15 - Asian Detective Case and Rhetoric Consequences 01:06:30 - Suburb Kid Playing Hood: Inferiority Complex 01:09:45 - Blue Collar Middle Class Background Truth 01:12:20 - Comedy and Truth-Telling Power 01:15:35 - Golden Glove Champion Attack Story 01:18:50 - Police Corruption and Community Cleanup Efforts Join Our Its Up There Podcast Clip Channel now https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEh6Wk40kcNcMJ4t_jtmluw Discord https://discord.gg/GJKXMWQS For all exclusive interviews & more content not here click here https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 🚨Unreleased Interviews https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 🦺All Merch Options teespring.com/its-up-there-podcast-merch 🎧LISTEN ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Jheeb8FxYVDRo8khyrz36?si=e339dD2JRte2MYX2Uon3BQ 👀 SUBSCRIBE HERE:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl_GorAVekpEVDlk1Yc8giw 👂 LISTEN ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/its-up-there-podcast/id1317524092?uo=4 👣FOLLOW ITS UP THERE PODCAST HOST : INSTAGRAM | fogfo_looney TIKTOK | https://www.tiktok.com/@fogfo_looney PATREON| https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast SUBSCRIBE TO Youtube Channel ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl_GorAVekpEVDlk1Yc8giw WATCH MORE ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwNIuOcAtoo&list=PLnwwxLxHiDWayq4HPgNYUtsAGvqe3liOOJoin Our Its Up There Podcast Clip Channel now https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEh6Wk40kcNcMJ4t_jtmluw Discord https://discord.gg/GJKXMWQS For all exclusive interviews & more content not here click here https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 🚨Unreleased Interviews https://www.patreon.com/itsuptherepodcast 🦺All Merch Options teespring.com/its-up-there-podcast-merchSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
