Young Thug Reflects on Rich Homie Quan’s Death: ‘Never Switched on U’
Young Thug posted footage and a caption on Instagram mourning Rich Homie Quan and questioning where their relationship broke down. The two rose together in the mid-2010s and later fell out; Quan died in September 2024.
Young Thug posted a tribute and a question on Instagram after the death of Rich Homie Quan. The Story used footage from their 2014 collaboration and carried the caption: “Never switched on u brada always road with u what happened [crying emoji]”.
Young Thug and Rich Homie Quan rose together in the mid-2010s. They teamed up on Rich Gang’s 2014 single “Lifestyle,” which reached No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart.
Their relationship deteriorated in 2015. Young Thug used derogatory language toward Quan during performances that year. Quan said in a 2017 interview with WEDR 99 JAMZ that they were not on speaking terms. “We don’t got no bad blood, but we don’t talk,” he said. “I wish him the best.”
Rich Homie Quan died in September 2024 at age 33. The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the death an accidental drug overdose.
After Quan’s death, Young Thug spoke publicly about regret. On an October livestream with Adin Ross he said he wished they could have made amends before Quan died. “R.I.P. the boy Quan. I wish we could have made amends before he died,” he said.
Young Thug has also appeared on The New York Times’ 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters list and performed at Coachella in April.
