Young Thug vs. Justin Bieber: Rapper Slams New Album, Bieber Fires Back

🚨 The internet is in shambles after a heated exchange between two of music’s biggest names — Young Thug and Justin Bieber. What started as a casual critique quickly spiraled into a full-on war of words.

The drama unfolded when Young Thug took to Twitter to share his thoughts on Bieber’s latest release, Swag II. While Thug acknowledged that he had always been a fan of Bieber’s sound — even reminiscing about their time on a Travis Scott track together — he didn’t hold back on his opinion of the new album.

“I’ve always been a fan of Justin Bieber even back then when we were on the same track featured by Travis Scott. I loved his music and sound very much, but today he released Swag II, which I think is absolutely garbage. He really could’ve done better and got better features too.”

That blunt assessment immediately set social media ablaze. Fans were split — some applauding Thug’s honesty, while others accused him of unnecessary shade.

But things escalated quickly when Justin Bieber clapped back in the most savage way possible.

“Now you’re trying to use myself and my album to stay relevant and make people forget that you’re a rat? Lmao go back to the sewer Master Splinter 🐀!”

The insult — comparing Thug to the rat mentor from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles — instantly went viral, with fans flooding timelines with memes, reactions, and plenty of debate about who won the exchange.

Fan Reactions

• Team Thug: “At least he’s being real. Swag II wasn’t it.”

• Team Bieber: “Thug better not start with Justin. He’s not ready for Beliebers.”

• The Internet: “Master Splinter trending in 2025 wasn’t on my bingo card.”

Whether this feud fizzles out or turns into a full-blown rivalry remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: when Young Thug and Justin Bieber throw shade, the whole world stops to watch.
