Young Thug responds after fan goes viral for tattooing wrong 'Digits' lyrics on his back: 'Dam Bro'
Young Thug is having a viral moment, and it’s all thanks to a lyrical mix-up that found its way permanently onto a fan’s back. The rapper responded on X (formerly Twitter) after spotting a fan’s tattoo inspired by his 2016 track Digits. The issue? The ink misquoted the lyric — and hilariously so.
Instead of the original line “Hustlers don’t stop / they keep going,” the fan had the phrase “Horses don’t stop / they keep going” tattooed across his back, complete with galloping stallions beneath the text. Thugger’s reaction was quick and classic: “And that’s y I’m talking with more clarity UY SCUTI… dam bro,” he wrote, acknowledging both the lyrical misinterpretation and the viral ink.

The tattoo, reportedly done by Madrid-based artist @infrababy, gained traction on Instagram and TikTok — with users debating whether the misheard lyric was understandable, given Thug’s unique delivery style. Fans chimed in with sympathy for the confusion: “THIS WHOLE TIME HE WAS SAYING ‘HUSTLERS’?! 😭😭😭,” one user posted.
Another added, “I would’ve got it wrong too!! I swore that n**** said horses!! But that s*** hard still!!” One fan admitted, “Just found out Thug said Hustlers don’t stop and not Horses,” while another echoed, “I just found out Thug said ‘hustlers don’t stop they keep going’ not horses.”
Whether it’s “hustlers” or “horses,” the viral tattoo has certainly kept the conversation — and the laughs — going.
