Young Thug ‘UY SCUTI’ Coachella Billboard Hints at May Release Date
Young Thug could be making his official return to music with a new album next month.
Back in March, he attended a Miami Heat game with his girlfriend Mariah the Scientist, where the two held up white Heat jerseys with their names on the back, except Thug’s No. 5 jersey had the words “UY Scuti” on the back. He then tweeted out that he’s “King Spider the biggest star in the world,” which helped fans realize that UY Scuti wasn’t something he made up, but instead is the name of the biggest star in the known universe.
Future also tweeted the phrase a day later, leading fans to believe something from Thug was on the horizon — and that seems to be the case.
Young Thug fan account Thugger Daily is reporting that a new billboard has been spotted near Coachella that says in all-caps: “Universe has been too quiet. Until now. UY SCUTI.” In the lower-right corner of the billboard is a May 2025 release date, with the specific day blacked out.
It’s worth pointing out that May 9 lands on a Friday this year, and that’s the same date the Atlanta rapper and 27 others were taken into custody by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on RICO charges three years ago in 2022.
Aside from a handful of features, Thug hasn’t released any solo music since his release from prison in November. However, the idea of a joint album with him, Future, and Lil Baby has been floated by Baby himself, who said it was Thug’s idea and it’s almost done.
