Young Thug has broken his silence with a lengthy and emotional letter addressing Mariah the Scientist, Drake, Lil Baby, Future, 21 Savage, Gucci Mane, and his family. The handwritten statement, shared on Instagram, reads as both an apology and a reflection.
The letter, which circulated widely online, opens with a direct apology to Mariah the Scientist, his longtime partner. Thug expresses regret over the pain and public scrutiny their relationship has endured, writing that one of his biggest fears is “losing you to the internet.” He admits his mistakes, acknowledging moments where his actions caused her distress while also praising her support during his darkest periods.

From there, the rapper extends his words to friends and collaborators who have been part of his career. To Drake, he emphasizes loyalty and brotherhood, thanking him for private support that the public has never seen, including personal visits while he was incarcerated. He clarifies he has never dissed him and appreciates Drake’s contributions to the culture.
Lil Baby, Future, and Metro Boomin are also referenced, with Thug recalling behind-the-scenes conversations and efforts to mend fractured relationships. He notes that Future, whom he refers to as “Pluto,” served as a mentor and role model, shaping his understanding of loyalty and manhood.
Addressing 21 Savage, Thug credits him with staying close during hardships and working to reconcile differences with others in the industry.
The most personal section of the letter turns to his family. Thug apologizes to his parents, siblings, and children for the pain his choices have caused, admitting that fame and mistakes have made him difficult to understand. “Mama, I’m sorry. Daddy, I’m sorry,” he writes, calling family the foundation that has kept him going.
Throughout the letter, Thug grapples with betrayal, loyalty, and legacy. He references financial support for co-defendants, the weight of public judgment, and the deep sense of responsibility he feels toward those around him. Here is the complete letter:
