"Times like these is when my luvs ones are supposed to look at the good I did towards them then the ugly," Thug wrote.

The track comes as Thug is continuing to work on his upcoming fourth studio album, UY Scuti. He has yet to confirm a release date for the project, but it will be his first since getting of a jail, last year.

In the aforementioned jail calls, Thug dissed a number of other hip-hop artists, including Gunna, Kendrick Lamar, Future, and more. He also admitted to having cheated on his partner, Mariah The Scientist. After that call leaked, he issued an apology to her on social media.

U showed me what love is and I hope I haven’t lost u forever… everybody leave her out of this please she’s an innocent girl and feels bad about all of this. Please give her peace."

On Sunday, Thug shared another apology for everyone involved in the drama. "To everyone involved in this situation I’m sorry this is happening and I hope u guys can forgive me, I’m moving forward with my life -THANK U GOD," he wrote on X.
