Young Thug is making it clear how he intends to perform "Ninja" live at ComplexCon 2025.
During a livestream with Adin Ross, Thugger was asked about tracks from his Uy Scuti album, and someone in the room brought up the fan-favorite single "Ninja," which features Thug saying the N-word several times, and how he plans to perform the record and what he'll do when "50,000" fans recite the lyrics, including white fans.
According to Thug, he's going to give fans a warning before performing it.
"I think before I perform that song, I'm going to ask them. Listen, I love all people. Yeah. All lives matter. I love white people. I love black people. I love f***ing Jewish people."
When he was pressed by Adin on where he'd first perform it, Thug confirmed his plans were for ComplexCon. Later in the stream, Thug expanded on how he'll address the crowd before the performance.
"I think when I do perform that, I'm gonna tell my fans, you know, I love y'all and I respect y'all. I want y'all to respect me," said Thug. "I'mma say this. I'mma perform this song with y'all. You know, black people, you okay. White people, you can't say the word. You can't. ... I'm just saying respectfully. You can't say the word."
He added, "If I look at one of you motherfucking white people in this crowd, if any of y'all saying that, I'm leaving. I'm telling you. If any one of you motherfuckers say the N-word and you are white hard, I'm leaving. Any r. If you say N-I-G-G, you can't say 'nigg.'"
On top of that, Young Thug revealed he wants the entire moment streamed live by Adin Ross himself.
"Adin, you gotta come out there and stream it," Thug said, calling the upcoming ComplexCon performance "special."
