Young Thug's name has been in headlines concerning his YSL RICO case, but he turned the attention of fans to a possible new project after posting a mysterious QR code on Instagram on Friday (June 16). 

The post was captioned, "BUSINESS IS BUSINESS," and the code led to a countdown clock that is set to end next Friday (June 23). Rumors of a new musical project began surfacing, seemingly confirmed after producer Metro Boomin shared the code and a handshake and suitcase emoji. London On Da Track followed suit with the "100" emoji. 808 Mafia producer Southside, Wheezy, and Chase B also shared the post. 

This comes after Gunna dropped his first album since his release after taking an Alford Plea in the YSL RICO case last year. In one song, "I Was Just Thinking," Gunna speaks about Young Thug, rapping, "Only I done cried, ‘cause this feelin’ for my bro (King Slime)." He adds on "Ca$h $h*t, "Hide the barrel, man, free my bro Jeffro."
