Drizzy and Young Thug have previously worked together on a few singles such as Sacrifices, Solid, and Ice Melts. Back in November last year, Drizzy also reportedly gave a gift of $1 million to Young Thug after being released from prison. This was first claimed by DJ Akademiks during a live-streaming session. He stated:

"When Thug gets out of jail, the talk is this: They say two hours afterward, Drake flew to Thug and allegedly gave him a [million dollars]. Drake gon' hit me up and be, like, 'Who told you this?'"

While Young Thug's tweet went viral, netizens took to the comments section of his post to share their reactions to the same. One of them seemingly predicted that Drizzy and Thug were possibly joining each other for another project and wrote:

"Which boy? I see old dudes," a netizen commented on X.
"That ain't last long huh," another X user reacted.

In one of the songs, Gimme a Hug, Drizzy seemingly spoke about his rap battle with Kendrick Lamar, alongside his longtime dispute with Joe Budden over the years. However, the album has received mixed reviews, and while speaking to TMZ, an insider from the music industry also stated:

"The response to the response was pretty lukewarm. Many felt it didn't live up to the scorched earth nature of Not Like Us."

Not Like Us was a diss track by Kendrick Lamar released during his beef with Drizzy last year. It was able to reach on top of the Billboard charts, and Lamar's recent show at the Super Bowl LIX was also in the headlines after he performed the single.

While Young Thug's response to $$$4U is trending everywhere, other personalities have also shared their opinion about the album, including Charlamagne Tha God and Kanye West.
