Car enthusiasts and gearheads look away. This article may induce nausea, vomiting, and/or feelings of great loss. To promote his upcoming album Punk, Young Thug decided to go big. Alongside close friends Gunna and Metro Boomin, he trashed a Rolls Royce Wraith. Why? It’s Punk, that’s why.
With the new album set to drop this Friday (October 15th), Thugger celebrated last Tuesday night (October 12th) with a release party at Delilah in West Hollywood, CA. However, the party alone just did not quite do it for the Atlanta rapper. Nothing less than the public execution of a brand new Rolls Royce Wraith would suffice. So, following the party, Thugger and his friends took their remaining energy out on the hapless Wraith.
So Much Fun
Pre-destruction, the car was spray-painted with the word “Punk”, on the windshield, doors, and body. But that was just the first defilement. Next, Thugger and friends took bats to it. In one video, Gunna can be seen absolutely wailing and stomping on the windshield, while Thug and co. beat the windows, hood, and trunk. Another video shows the massacre continuing, the rage directed at the rear of the car. The Wraith never stood a chance. Still, the assault could have been worse. Thug and his cohorts seemed to reign in some of their swings to avoid hitting members of the crowd or each other, a silver lining.
Thug-gery
Young Thug’s last album, 2019’s So Much Fun, was a slam dunk for the rapper, earning him a permanent place under the hip-hop sun. With Punk just days away, expectations for a follow-up are high. Though announced in August of 2019, Punk did not get an official release date until July of this year. Also on the docket for Thug is a spot on Saturday Night Live. This coming Saturday, he will make his musical guest debut, alongside Oscar-winning host Rami Malek.
