Young Thug might be cooking up a massive resurgence, and his supporters are all for it. For the second day in a row, the Atlanta rap superstar lit up the airwaves after being spotted courtside with girlfriend Mariah The Scientist, watching an NBA game, a Miami Heat game, on Tuesday (March 25). But the talk didn’t just stem from their courtside chemistry; a cryptic jersey Thugger flashed on the Jumbotron also sent fans into a frenzy.
Thug sported a custom jersey with “UY SCUTI” on the back during the game. For the uninitiated, UY Scuti is the name of the most prominent known star in the universe, a red hypergiant so immense that its existence in the cosmos is nearly unfathomable. Of course, fans had to read this as a not-so-veiled indication that Thugger’s preparing to release new music, and while he hasn’t specified whether it’d be an album named after the celestial giant.
Fan pages such as Thugger Daily quickly analyzed the clue, posting screenshots of a Google search of UY Scuti and noting that Thug had followed an Instagram account, @uyscutiiiiii, after appearing at the game.
Then, the following day (March 26), Thug added more fuel to the speculation fire by tweeting, “KING SPIDER THE BIGGEST STAR.” If that’s not a teaser for an album, I don’t know what is.
The anticipation for Thugger’s next steps has been percolating for weeks, enabled in long part by a snippet of unreleased music that popped up earlier this month. The 15-second video had fans picking apart every word as Thug seemingly ranted about losing precious possessions to law enforcement following a police raid on his home back in 2022.
Although he recently recovered several items of his confiscated jewelry, one item is still not in his possession. In the leak, Thug delivers a bar that’s got fans debating what or who he’s referring to:
“I’m in a jiggity-jam, I lost a g####### lamb; she got a question for me… Daddy sir, I’m him? Yes ma’am!”
With the cryptic message, the social media clues, and a heightened demand for fresh songs, it’s fair to say Young Thug has something cooking. Whether it’s an album titled UY SCUTI, King Spider, or something entirely unexpected, whatever Thugger has planned next is sure to be something fans are more than ready for.
Nothing is confirmed, but Young Thug is known to be a crazy person for rollouts. Keeping fans guessing is part of his genius, as was this latest stunt at the Heat game. Whether this is the sign of an album about to land or just another inscrutable crumb of Thug mythology, the biggest star is cooking up something monumental.
