As the clip circulated online, netizens and hip-hop fans accused Thug of snitching, alluding to him being a hypocrite due to his dislike for snitches.

In another post, he wrote:“They didn’t play my interrogation video in court cause I helped my brada #Ratwhere?”Roscoe also supported Young Thug amid the growing backlash.
