Young Thug found himself in the middle of a debate after sharing his thoughts on protective custody in prison. The Atlanta rapper’s opinion on the matter has not gone over well with some of his hip-hop peers. This discussion started when Boosie Badazz brought up the topic of protective custody.
The Protective Custody Debate
Boosie Badazz kicked off the conversation by criticizing Kodak Black for allegedlyusing protective custody, often referred to as “PC.” while incarcerated. Boosie stated in a video that checking into PC invalidates anything a rapper claims to be about. This led Boosie to share a list of artists who supposedly avoided protective custody. Young Thug was on this list, and he decided to weigh in on the situation.
Young Thug’s Stance
Young Thug took to X, formerly Twitter, to share his perspective on protective custody. He suggested that opting for PC is a smarter move. Thugger explained that harsh actions can lead to heartbreak for family and kids. He also mentioned that too much happening in the dorms could result in more charges. This take from Young Thug didn’t sit right with Boosie Badazz, who quickly fired back.
Boosie’s Rebuttal
According to HotNewHipHop, Boosie Badazz questioned why Young Thug himself hadn’t chosen protective custody if he believes it’s the smarter option. Boosie argued that if you claim to be a “real n” from the streets, you can’t check into PC. He believes that checking into PC makes someone a coward and that people know the risks they sign up for. Boosie further stated that people should not save anyone and instead let them “drown.” suggesting Young Thug was picking sides.
Background of the Beef
This exchange adds another layer to the ongoing back-and-forth between Boosie Badazz and Kodak Black. Their beef intensified in 2023 after Kodak Black collaborated with 6ix9ine. Boosie took issue with this collaboration due to 6ix9ine’s past legal troubles and allegations of snitching. Boosie Badazz’s strong feelings about loyalty and prison conduct clearly shape his views on Young Thug’s comments
