Did Young Thug release his first song since release from jail called First Day Out? Netizens debunk viral video

YouTube user SPIDER PLUG posted an alleged Young Thug track called First Day Out on November 1. The video got around 7.7K likes. The song later went viral across social media platforms through reposts.

RHTV, aka Raphousetv, reposted the song on X, amassing over 4.3 million views. On the track, Thug allegedly thanked his lawyer, Brian Steele, after his release from prison on October 31 in the YSL Rice trial. He also purportedly hinted that his longtime friend and YSL signee Gunna did not snitch on him during the Rico trial.

Young Thug was released after his attorney, Brian Steele, guided him to sign a no-contest plea deal that came with certain regulations. One of them required the 33-year-old rapper to make anti-gang songs. He was asked not to indulge in music or any project that would promote gang affiliations or related ideas.

The first 20 seconds of the YouTube video seemingly contained what Thug had said before Judge Paige Reese Whitaker in court on Thursday, October 31. However, soon after the track went viral online, netizens pointed out it was AI-generated, not the rapper's original voice. The Community Note under Raphousetv's X post stated the same.

"Lmao this isn't real. It's AI. You guys are cooked it's only gonna get more scary", commented one person.

"Ain't no way n***as think this a real song right? Plz tell me mfs not actually that dumb", wrote one X user.

"Didn’t know AI can make fire like this", said another.

"This the most flawless AI song I ever heard. The internet is scary lol", chimed in one X user.

One person, however, pointed out how these AI songs can negatively impact Thug:

"This is kinda scary. All it takes is for somebody to make an AI song saying gang type stuff that could get him back in jail"

AtlantaUpNext, a rap blog, also confirmed the same on Instagram. The page shared another YouTube repost by SHXDAI BEATS, who credited the song to SPIDER PLUG and labeled it AI.

The rapper has not yet made an official announcement about any new music from his end, nor did he drop any snippets. Thus, the viral track First Day Out can be credited as false.
