“I was with Mac [Miller] the day before he died,” Thug began. “He was at my studio. We did the song on my album. “This shit so crazy, but coincidental. He came to the studio, did a song. The next day, he died. And the song that we did at the studio, the name of the song is ‘Day Before.'” Shit crazy.

Young Thug went on to describe track No. 20 the last song on the album. “But the song is just about women,” he continued. “Like…Back then they didn’t want me, now I’m hot, they all…It was like, flamboyant. Yeah, ‘Day Before.’ This nigga died the next day, bro.” When asked if he reflects on his final moments with Mac Miller, although Thug wasn’t aware that would be the last time they’d see one another, the Atlanta rapper confirmed that he does. “Yeah, I think deep on that because it’s…is that a sign?” he told morning show co-hosts Charlamagne Tha God and Angela Yee.

Young Thug also spoke on his close relationship with Juice WRLD , who died of an accidental overdose after suffering from a seizure in 2019. Juice has a feature on the album called “Rich Nigga Shit.” Thug also admitted to how he hasn’t processed the deaths of neither Mac or Juice and feels he’s still running from dealing with the emotions tied to their passing’s.
