Young Thug Disses 2Pac and Wyclef Jean Calls Young Thug New 2Pac.
2Pac is fake according to Young Thug. Young Thug thinks that 2Pac has done nothing for his community and black lives. Wyclef Jean says Young Thug is the modern 2Pac.
“Y’all fake *ss rappers, y’all n*ggas so fake, y’all n*iggas last so long. I know I won’t last long. You fake p*ssy n*gga. On the Internet y’all reminiscing, you know speak words of the d3ad and the wisdom trying to trick the internet. I don’t respect n*ggas pretending to help black people, but do nothing to help black lives.” – Young Thug
“My comparison was basicly based on the work ethics. I feel like both have the same work ethics. The second thing is I made a history comparison. Both have knowledge on the history they chose for themselves – Wyclef Jean

This was Wyclefs first comment: “He reminded me of a modern Tupac, in a sense – in a revolutionary sense. I mean that by, alright you might see a thug, but his connection to history is similar to what Pac understood, of like, ‘This is who the Black Panthers are. Read this book, read that book.’ This kid understands.”
This is the part 2 to the Wyclef Jean roast and the Young Thug Roast.
It’s a double roasting (Nr. 6 & 7). Wyclef Jean and Young Thug responded to Hip-Hop Universe.
Wyclef Jean has some massive praise for Young Thug, comparing him to Tupac in a recent interview.
“He’s from a project, I’m from a similar background. And he has a natural love for Haiti, understanding the history of Haiti. Haiti is the first black republic. He reminded me of a modern Tupac, in a sense—in a revolutionary sense,” said Jean.
Jean continued, clarifying that though Thug might look like “a thug,” he is far more educated than that label would suggest.
He said, “His connection to history seemed similar to what Pac understood, of like, ‘This is who the Black Panthers are. Read this book, read that book.’ This kid understands.”
The opening track on Young Thug’s latest project, Jeffery, is called “Wyclef Jean,” perhaps partly due to its reggae influence. Since their first meeting, Thug and Wyclef have developed a close rapport. In the new interview, Wyclef even went as far to compare Thug to a late legend who was a contemporary of his: Tupac Shakur.
In the video making its rounds online, the Jeffery rapper seems to poke fun at the two Black female employees after he claims they tried to make him miss his flight. Flashing a Bentley bag full of cash, he begins the video by explaining that he has attempted to offer the two unidentified employees $15,000 a piece if they quit their jobs.
Young Thug also demonstrated his love for Wyclef’s homeland of Haiti when they first met. Thug hails from an impoverished part of Atlanta colloquially known as “Lil Haiti.” He was excited to tell Wyclef that he had named his daughter Haiti and to show him his “Haiti” tattoo. Thug’s similar background and his innate connection to Haiti is what prompted Wyclef to make the Tupac comparison.
He went on to expound on the Pac connection, explaining, “I mean that by, alright, you might see a thug, but his connection to history seemed similar to what Pac understood, of like, ‘This is who the Black Panthers are. Read this book, read that book.'” Wyclef detailed about how he sent Thug a documentary that he executive produced, “Ghosts of Cité Soleil,” which provides a portrait of the gang violence in the worst parts of Port-au-Prince. Thug’s already seen it “10, 15 times,” says Wyclef. “He is like a sponge when it comes to history.”
