And it's like, people are seeing you in a negative light already, so you gonna use somebody like me, like the water boys situation, and comment under some s**t and be like 'hit me up.'""Like, as if you finna give me some money or something like that. Not that I actually need your money, but it's the fact that y'all be making these empty a** promises to try to make yourself look good."According to Fox News 5, a woman by the name Tristen Richardson claimed that Atlanta's 'water boys' scammed her while buying from them. She said she didn't have two dollars on hand, so she offered to pay them via Cash App, resulting in one of the boys taking her phone to type in the correct username."One of the boys came up to my window. He took the phone. He was like, nah, let me just, let me just type in the right [username]. When he gave the phone back to me and I sent the payment, it was $1,100."Richardsen added that she reported the theft to the Atlanta Police Department, and she was not the only victim.

According to Rap-Up, he tearfully added that he was on an EBT card and asked Brown to pay him $25,000 for the four songs he worked on for the singer. Following this, Young Thug took to his X account to write that he was willing to give McCall money, posting:“Kevin McCall hit me my n***a, I’ll give u the 25k u need, and i no CB would give it to u also bro he a real one. N***as is busy sometimes brada.”However, he rescinded the offer in a follow-up X post on October 23, writing, "Sorry Mc lol ain't no this was all happening kid." Meanwhile, Brown seemingly responded to McCall's allegations via Instagram Story, alluding to the pair burning bridges."Remember this: you can’t walk across a burnt bridge. And you know what’s funnier than a troll? A BROKE ONE," he wrote.In other news, Young Thug is scheduled to hold a concert, titled "Young Thug & Friends," in his hometown of Atlanta on December 16, 2025.
