One user summed up his stance by saying Gunna was “the missing piece” to Young Thug’s album. Another agreed, going as far as to say that Gunna could’ve “saved” Thug’s project.

Thug album good but you cannot replace Gunna. 😭 He was the missing piece to this album. pic.twitter.com/zNyRH0GB5s

One person joked that Gunna himself would be surprised over “the public agree[ing] he’s better than Young Thug right now.”

However, not everyone was feeding into the album beef, as one user noted, “You can listen to Gunna and Thug btw.” Many others shared similar sentiments.

Aside from the albums being compared, we should also acknowledge some speculated references within the projects.

Once Thugger’s album dropped, people began buzzing that Gunna was referenced within “Jonesboro,’ the thirteenth track.

"N**** told and he was my homie, I can't miss him. Ain't nobody feel him."
