August Alsina Slams Young Thug’s “Dumb A**” Remarks About DL Men: “I Took That Personal”

‘I Luv This Sh*t’ hitmaker August Alsina didn’t exactly love recently resurfaced commentary made by Young Thug about closeted gay men and he’s not afraid to let the chart-topping rapper know.

A clip from Thug’s 2025 ‘Perspektives with Bank’ podcast interview began making its rounds on the net again recently and – like many – rubbed Alsina the wrong way.

“I don’t got nothing against gay people. You know what I’m saying? If you’re portraying a certain thing… If I look at you like a man and we f*cking b*tches together, girls together, and we doing certain sh*t together, I’m looking at you in a man light. Then I find out you gay, it ain’t really nothing you can say to me. I’mma just look at you like you broke a man code,” Young (born Jeffery Williams) said at the time.

Once the clip landed on August’s desk, the R&B singer – who’s made headlines over the last few years for coming out as queer – wasted little time delivering a fiery clap back.

“Nothing keep the Black community in a chokehold like the gay conversation,” he said on social media before relaying, “So, that [Young Thug] comment, I took personal…It’s time to start calling out stupid. The older I get, I’m not into convincing that they stupid no more. Your life will show you that… At the same time, I am into simply saying, ‘That’s stupid. That’s a dumb a** take.”

Ouch! That’s not all he said. Click PLAY on the video above to hear August’s full address of the situation.

At writing, Williams has not publicly responded to Alsina’s now viral reaction to his 2025 interview clip.
