### The Origin of the Beef
The beef between Young Thug and YFN Lucci dates back to 2017. It ignited over a social media dispute involving the legendary late rapper Tupac Shakur. Young Thug posted on social media:
*”I dropped E. B. B. T. G. on 2PACS bday because Im the #NewPac. I feel like Im the thug he didnt get to become.”*
This post came after Young Thug released his 2017 EP, *Easy Breezy Beautiful Thugger Girls*. YFN Lucci took offense to the claim, responding by saying Tupac “never wore a dress,” referencing Young Thug’s 2016 mixtape cover for *Jeffery* where he appeared in a dress.
The two exchanged sharp words and threats, with Young Thug warning Lucci to “be humble” or risk a “deep sleep,” implying violent consequences. YFN Lucci fired back, releasing the single “Like Pac,” further escalating the feud.

### The Feud Continues
In 2018, the rivalry cooled down briefly when both rappers appeared on T.I.’s album *Dime Trap*. However, tension resurfaced in March 2019 during an Instagram live session where Young Thug said he would “slap the hell” out of YFN Lucci. The verbal exchange sparked responses on social media, involving close associates and even personal remarks about Young Thug’s wife, Jerrika Karlae.
Young Thug also took shots at Lucci in his 2019 album *So Much Fun*, keeping the beef alive through music.

In an interview with FlyGuyDC on SiriusXM, YFN Lucci explained why they decided to move past the feud:
*”First off, we been through a lot. Everybody lost people; we lost people. Most important sh*t, we lost our time. We had to be away from our family. So, coming home, it’s like, damn, what the hell can a n***a do to bro? We gone keep doing that sh*t and end up back in jail or one of our homies dead or one of us dead? Or we gone fix this sh*t and make this sh*t look good for the A?”*
Lucci emphasized that their decision to collaborate was about growth and unity, regardless of some fans’ mixed reactions.
