Young Thug Says He Has More 'Stadium' Hits Than Jay-Z
Young Thug is facing backlash for claiming he has more stadium hits than Hov.
Speaking with Gillie Da Kid’s “Million Dollaz Worth of Game” podcast, Thugger boasted about his catalogue, claiming he has 30-40 songs that concertgoers would recognize if he performed them live.
“When I perform, I got 30, 40 songs that the whole stadium gon’ know. They gon’ know these ones, all 30 songs,” he said.
He then boldly declared that his catalogue would rival Jay-Z. “Jay-Z ain’t got 30 songs like that…that the whole stadium gonna sing.”
The host countered, “He got a lot though” before Thug backpedaled. “I know he do. He probably got 50 of them bitches,” he said. “I’m not just literally saying him, I’m saying ni**as who you thinking the man…”
Thug went on to say he’s been backstage at other rappers’ shows and was surprised when the audience didn’t respond to their hits. “I’m backstage like, ‘I thought they knew this song from him.'”
Thug won’t perform a song unless it’s familiar to the crowd. “I’m so scared to get booed, I don’t even perform a song they won’t know,” he said. “They know every song. It ain’t no dull moment. Every song. I ain’t even perform a song they don’t know.”
