Rapper Young Thug has expressed support for Sean “Diddy” Combs during an appearance on Adin Ross’s livestream on Kick. The discussion, held on October 1, marked Thug’s first appearance on the platform since his release from prison in November 2024 following the YSL trial.

During the stream, Ross referenced Cîroc vodka, a brand previously associated with Diddy through his long-standing partnership with Diageo. Thug responded by clarifying his stance, emphasizing that he holds no ill will toward the hip-hop mogul. “Stop saying Cîroc, cause you are making it about Diddy and this is not about Diddy, this is my OG,” he said, as quoted in a clip shared on X (formerly Twitter) by user @FearedBuck. He continued, “I love Diddy. I’m not against him; I overly love him. Love OG, praying for your freedom every day.”

When Ross asked whether Thug would want to see Diddy if he called into the livestream, Thug quickly affirmed, replying “Absolutely!”

The livestream also touched on Young Thug’s latest album, UV Scuti. When questioned about the decision to appear white on the album cover, Thug explained that he associated “being the biggest” with iconic figures who were white, citing Michael Jackson as an example. He further noted that he had at times considered the idea of “turning white.”

Meanwhile, Diddy continues to face significant legal challenges. According to a recent report by The New York Times, a federal judge has denied his motion to dismiss charges related to prostitution. The rapper and entrepreneur is scheduled for sentencing later this week.
