Check out what Thug said about Lil Wayne on the next page…

Within a recent GQ feature, Thug talked about his love for music and how he saw his career shaping up.

“I don’t want to be 50 years old and rapping, man. I’m pretty sure nobody wants to do that. I’m pretty sure Jay Z don’t wanna rap right now,” Thug says. “If you’re 30, 40 years old, you’re not getting listened to by minors. Like, Jay Z has some of the sickest lyrics ever, but I would never buy his CD, just because of my age and because of his age. By the time I turn that old, I ain’t gonna be doing what he’s doing. … I hope to be like Bill Gates, bro. With all the money in the world. Like [Lil] Wayne, someday I want one of those kind of careers. Or Michael Jackson.” (GQ)

Last September, Cash Money Records head Birdman talked about his relationship with Thug.

“I met Thug, flew him to L.A. to come see me and we connected from there, then Quan came to the table. I always believed in unity, that’s always been my thing. They were already working on a project, them two, and I said, ‘Let’s do it together. Let me take it to the next level for y’all, ’cause I see y’all got the potential and the talent.'” (MTV)

Last year, Young Thug dished out his respect for Young Money leader Lil Wayne and called Birdman a father figure.

“Wayne, Wayne and Wayne. The fact that the n*gga got 100 M’s and he still rap everyday, it’s amazing,” Thug said in an interview. “Rich Gang to the death. Big shout out to [Gucci Mane]. He was a big help to my career. But, I’m with Rich Gang and that’s how we gone turn it up… [Cash Money’s Baby] is like a real father figure.” (The FADER)
