Fans are wondering what this could possibly mean, as the two don't exactly have a tight relationship in the public eye right now.

Young Thug's Instagram page has many fans scratching their heads, as a link to Gunna's DS4EVER is now in his bio. Of course, given that he currently waits in jail on RICO charges along with various other codefendants, this is an odd development. Not only that, but it's even odder because his "Ski" collaborator took a plea deal and testified against YSL. If you're looking for an explanation, the comments sections on coverage of this phenomenon is already rife with theories and assumptions. Whatever the case, there's too little information to know the true intent of this move, or to identify what their relationship is like now.

"How else he finna pay for them lawyer fees," one user suggested under DJ Akademiks' post of the development. As such, many think that this is just promotion for DS4EVER so YSL can make more money while its members wait behind bars. "Gunna watching too many hacking documentaries sitting at the crib," another fan theorized. Other possible interpretations are that this is Thugger's PR team trying to make public amends. Maybe Young Thug himself sought to make their friendship clear without a statement, or deliver a very convoluted and strange diss.

Young Thug Promotes Gunna On Instagram

Regardless, our guess is as good as yours as to what could've prompted this move. Still, even if Thug came out with a statement defending Gunna, people would likely continue to trash him for his actions. For example, when a fan compiled all his anti-snitching bars, social media bashed him. In addition, other rappers apparently threw subliminals or unfollowed the "Drip Or Drown" MC, along with strong words from his (perhaps former) YSL cohorts.

Meanwhile, Thugger is currently looking for bond with the help of his attorney- for the fourth time in the past year. "Mr. Williams is not a risk to commit a crime and he’s not a risk to flee the jurisdiction and that’s what bond is about," attorney Brian Steel told ABC News. Also, he added that he "previously put forth compelling evidence, without doubt, that conditions can be imposed which permit bond to be set." This request for bond comes as concerns for his health due to fatigue and sleep depravation become more common on social media. Hopefully he can await jurisdiction in humane and healthy conditions. Regardless, the fact remains that, until someone offers an explanation, fans can't wrap their head around that Instagram bio. For the latest news on Young Thug and Gunna, stick around on HNHH.
