The late great Rich Homie Quan was sadly not able to squash his issues with Young Thug before he passed away.

Young Thug has had a lot of changes to his industry friendship and dynamics over the years. One of the most tragic for fans was his falling out with the late Rich Homie Quan. They weren't able to settle their issues before Quan passed, but Thug made it clear his love for him hasn't waned. After a post from Rich Homie Nard asking Thugger to forgive him, he showed love to the late rapper.

"@thuggerthugger1 u said until we d.i.e Quan gone and not coming back come on slime !!!!!!" Nard wrote on Instagram. "Yall n***as was kids having yall way @richhomiequan loved u homie… Stop doing da homie like dat that’s not P slime! u tattooed shawty name on you, bro the same way them n***as forgave you for talking about them on that phone to your girl give him the same common courtesy slime!!! Nobody’s perfect!!! Players f**k up 2!!!"

"My brada forever," Jeffery responded in the comments section, as caught by No Jumper on IG. "never ever said nun bout bro even when he called me gay publicly, my sons called me and asked me was I gay cause of that nard. U no I would’ve died bout that boy, I no he know that. Players f**k up."

It's unclear exactly what context led to this interaction. Still, it heartened fans to see Thug show love to Quan, even if it's a bittersweet display when considering his passing.

Rich Homie Quan & Young Thug's Fallout

For those unaware, Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug's dynamic soured at some point around 2015 after establishing themselves as one of the defining duos of the 2010s. The fallout was due to conflicting solo priorities and rumors of tension, although they never egged the conflict on themselves.

Young Thug addressed the Rich Homie Quan controversy at various points in the past, with even Quan's family stepping in to push back on his narratives. It's still very complex, but these interactions show the friendship stands tall above all else. Still, fans continue to lament what could've been. We'll see if we get more context to these comments soon, or if more revelations will follow.
