Young Thug recently did an interview with GQ and ended up speaking a little bit about Lil Wayne, who he called “the greatest” and “the best rapper in the fucking world”.
During their conversation, Thug was asked why he wanted to connect with Birdman and Cash Money, if he tried to get Tunechi killed, if it bothers him that Tune may not like him, and why he would rather be Wayne than himself if he had the chance to choose.

Why’d you decide to connect with Birdman and Cash Money Records?
Because my whole life I looked up to them. I wanted to stunt like Birdman, which I fucking am. And I wanted to be like Wayne.Plain and simple: Did you try to have Lil Wayne killed?
Fuck no.Does it bother you that Wayne, one of your idols, clearly has a personal problem with you?
Maybe if I was a peasant it would. But of course it bothers me some, because that’s what I always wanted. It was so weird: I always wanted to be in the studio with Wayne. I would tell Birdman to bring him over, but he never fucking came.The first time I saw you perform was five years ago…
That was when I was Wayne. And he’s me now.What do you mean?
I feel like if he had the chance to be himself or me, he’d be me. If I had the chance to be myself or him, I’d be him. That man is the greatest. If we had the biggest problem in the world, I’d still say he’s the best rapper in the fucking world. Everybody knows nobody raps better than the fucking boss.
