"The first verse of "Man I Miss My Dogs" is dedicated to Young Thug's longtime girlfriend, Mariah the Scientist, who he recently admitted to cheating. "Baby I'm sorry/One of my biggest fears is losing you to the internet," he raps. "Fuck a jail call, I was playing, I'd never trade you." (Young Thug shared the lyrics in a separate post on Instagram.)"
"Young Thug goes on to imply that Lil Baby-whose song " Dum, Dumb, and Dumber" he featured on at the beginning of the year-is no longer taking his phone calls. The track's latter three verses seem to be addressed to Future-"I don't gotta speak on your name, they know astrology"- 21 Savage, and Gucci Mane, with whom Young Thug pleads "N***a, please I'm not a rat/But that cheese where it's at/All the n****s on the case that didn't take pleas, that is that.""
"In the autumn of 2024, Young Thug was released from jail after agreeing to plead guilty to participating in criminal street gang activity. He shared the Future collaboration " Money on Money" in April. The track will reportedly appear on a forthcoming new album titled UY Scuti, titled after a red supergiant star that's one of the largest in the known universe."
Recordings of Young Thug's jail phone calls surfaced online, prompting public responses on X and a three-hour podcast. Young Thug uploaded a seven-minute track titled "Man I Miss My Dogs" to X and Instagram as a direct apology to some subjects of the leaks. The first verse addresses his longtime girlfriend Mariah the Scientist and expresses remorse. The song references Drake, suggests Lil Baby is not taking calls, and directs later verses toward Future, 21 Savage, and Gucci Mane while denying being a rat. Young Thug was released in autumn 2024 after a guilty plea and plans a new album, UY Scuti.
