Young Thug Reminds Fans How Funny He Is While Reacting To Man Eating A Bug On “Chillin Island”

January 02, 2022

Coi Leray, Lil Yachty, Killer Mike, and others also appear on the HBO reality-survival series.

Young Thug's stint on HBO's Chillin Island is earning him a lot of flowers, but not for obvious reasons. The PUNK rapper is used to being praised for his musical talents, but this time around, his personality is taking centre stage – more specifically, his reaction to a co-star eating a bug – causing him to trend on social media.

If you're not familiar, the six-part survival reality series is executive produced by Uncut Gems director Josh Safdie and follows Alec “Despot” Reinstein, Ashok “Dap” Kondabolu, and Aleksey “Lakutis” Weintraub as they link up with some of our favourite recording artists to explore "the edge of nature."



In a clip from the rapper's episode that's since gone viral, Thugger can be seen watching Lakutis snack on a bug while they're in the desert together. "Boy, you nasty! What the f*ck type of n*gga is you?!" he exclaimed after witnessing his co-star feast on his interesting treat. "N*gga, what the fuck type of n*gga is you?!"

Apparently, fans of the "Stupid/Asking" artist have forgotten how funny he is, but they didn't hesitate to remind social media, urging others to watch the episode for themselves.
