When your nickname becomes “Chatty Thug,” you know the leaks are bad. The first episode of Front Row Saturdays with Jill Munroe unpacked how Young Thug has been serving up more tea from a jail cell than some rappers do with a mic.
Over the past week, a steady drip of phone calls from Thug’s time behind bars has gone public, and let’s just say nobody in hip hop is safe. Future, GloRilla, Gunna, Kendrick Lamar — all managed to catch strays in conversations that were supposed to be private. Instead, they’ve gone viral, and now Thug’s words are dominating headlines.
Young Thug’s Collect-Call Confessional
The calls paint a picture of an artist frustrated, isolated, and maybe a little too comfortable venting to his girlfriend, Mariah the Scientist. In one leaked clip, Thug accused Future of “nutting in hoes too much” and said multiple women had abortions because of him. He didn’t stop there — adding that Future is “burnt out” and a “deadbeat.”
Next up? GloRilla. Thug questioned why anyone considered her attractive, dismissing her looks with comments about her wigs and head size. “She looks like Rihanna? Long a** bullsh** wig. Skinny sh**, goddamn big a** head, big mouth, man watch out.”
GloRilla wasn’t about to let that slide. She clapped back online: “Mind you dis da same n*** blowing my phone up to ask what color my eyes is lmaooo.”* The Memphis rapper made it clear she wasn’t phased, flipping the insult back on him with humor. Thug has since apologized, calling her his “twin” and blaming his comments on being in a bad place.
Thug also threw shade at Lil Durk (“not solid”), doubled down on Gunna (“he told, I don’t care what nobody say”), and even found time to question Kendrick Lamar’s street credibility. Oh, and he suggested Quality Control’s P “don’t run sh** anymore.”
It’s messy, it’s damaging, and although Thug has since apologized and Wack 100 is taking credit… the genie is out of the bottle.
Charlie Sheen Comes Clean
Next we pivoted to another jaw-dropper: Charlie Sheen finally addressing the long-whispered rumors about his sex life. In a new Netflix documentary and PEOPLE cover story, Sheen admits to having sex with men during his crack-fueled years.
“It’s liberating,” Sheen said. “Some of it was weird. A lot of it was f***ing fun, and life goes on.”
For years, Sheen’s off-camera life was a circus: a high-profile marriage to Denise Richards, messy relationships, drug use, HIV revelations, and hush money payouts to keep partners quiet. Now, he’s rewriting the narrative as personal redemption.
The Culture Keeps Moving
From Young Thug’s messy calls to Sheen’s “liberation” and Dash’s downfall, Front Row Saturdays highlighted how quickly the culture can turn receipts into narratives. Sometimes it’s accountability, sometimes it’s spectacle — but either way, it’s always front row.
