Baton Rouge rapper NBA YoungBoy appears to be drawing a line in the sand with Atlanta’s Young Thug, as recent comments from his associate NBA Herm suggest that Thugger has been “unslimed” — a move many are interpreting as YoungBoy asserting dominance within the influential “Slime” movement.
The 𝒹𝓇𝒶𝓂𝒶 escalated after Young Thug publicly showed support for Lil Durk with posts pleading “Free Smurk,” which reportedly did not sit well with the YoungBoy camp amid existing tensions and loyalty questions in the rap world.
NBA Herm took to social media to directly call out Young Thug, stating variations of “Top say your b*tch ass ain’t slime no more,” signaling a clear shift in allegiance.
For years, Young Thug has been closely associated with the “Slime” lifestyle and terminology, even influencing younger artists including NBA YoungBoy early in his career.
However, recent developments — including Young Thug’s post-release activities and public statements — have reportedly caused friction.
Fans are divided, with some accusing Thug of switching sides while others defend his right to show support for incarcerated peers.
This latest chapter highlights the complex and often volatile nature of alliances in modern hip-hop, where titles, loyalty, and street credibility are constantly being negotiated. Neither YoungBoy nor Young Thug has issued a direct statement on the matter, but the online buzz continues to grow as supporters from both sides engage in heated debates.
As the two influential artists navigate their post-incarceration careers, this “unsliming” narrative adds another layer to the ever-evolving landscape of rap politics and influence.
