Young Thug faces renewed cooperation claims after resurfaced cop audio

Young Thug drew a fresh wave of online criticism Wednesday after an alleged two hour police interrogation audio resurfaced in which the Atlanta rapper appears to reference fellow figure Peewee Roscoe in connection with a 2015 shooting, prompting renewed accusations of cooperating with authorities. The clip, which circulated widely on social media, rekindled debate about loyalty and cooperation tied to the long-running YSL prosecutions.

In the recording, a man widely believed to be Young Thug discusses the 2015 attack on Lil Wayne's tour bus and appears to tell investigators, "They said Roscoe, but I dont wanna block out yall case by saying Roscoe aint do that," and "Every day Roscoe broke the f law." The audio, which users said originally surfaced nearly two years ago before reemerging on Wednesday, was met by a barrage of memes and posts calling the rapper a rat.

Young Thug responded on X, formerly Twitter, suggesting the clip has been misread and that his comments were meant to protect Roscoe. "They didnt play my interrogation video in court cause I helped my brada Ratwhere?" he wrote. Peewee Roscoe later posted a video defending Young Thug, calling him "clean as Listerine"...
