When Young Thug boasted “Every time I dress myself, it goes mothaf***in’ viral” on his 2015 clue “Halftime,” it acquainted like a archetypal rapper braggadocio, but a year after it’s ablaze that not alone was he right, he ability accept been on to something.
Thug’s affection for changeable accouterment that “fit how they’re declared to fit, like a bedrock star” is hardly new, and the Internet’s antipathy and account for his accoutrements seems to accept accomplished a agitation angle with the absolution of his new LP No, My Name Is JEFFERY. On the cover, Thug is decked out in a amethyst (blue?) Alessandro Trincone dress and a humongous bonnet.
As is the case with all things online, it’s been meme’d.
But it has additionally fatigued acclaim from Erykah Badu, who alleged the awning and best of accouterments Andre 3000-esque.
Erykah is, of course, the mother of Andre’s son Seven and adept acquaintance of the added all-embracing ancillary of Outkast, and she has a point. While ‘Dre was criticized for it often, he connected to advance boundaries with his appearance choices and dabbled in women’s accouterment forth with added sorts of beatnik attire.

Thug isn’t the alone rapper he’s afflicted in that way, either anon or indirectly. Whenever a rapper apparel up in article bodies accede effeminate, be it Kanye’s Céline blouse during his Coachella set in 2011, Kid Cudi’s crop top, Lil Wayne’s skintight, adjudicator book leggings or CeeLo Green’s assorted dresses, it consistently seems to be traced aback to Dre.
Earlier this year, 3K proclaimed his account for Thug, stating, “Thug is charging up the rap game” in a attenuate interview. Thug hasn’t cited Three Stacks as an afflatus publicly, but it’s ablaze he at atomic opened the aperture for an anthology awning like this to exist. The dress has additionally sparked chat about gender norms, cantankerous bathrobe and female beyond amusing media.
Maybe that’s what Thug wanted, maybe he aloof capital a ablaze awning to his new anthology or maybe he aloof admired the outfit. Whatever the case, the awning was acutely important to Thug’s plan for the anthology as it acquired a adjournment in Jeffery’s release. Thug took to Instagram to explain, in a back deleted video that, “The acumen why the mixtape isn’t out is because of the photo that they capital to use. I didn’t like the photo and I apperceive my admirers wouldn’t like the photo as abundant as the photo that I’m gonna use.”
Some may not like the allegory of a fable like Andre to an cipher who doesn’t fit traditionalist angle of what a rapper is like. Yet, the Andre-Thug affiliation is appropriate, at atomic in agreement of aesthetics.
