Young Thug Says God Gave Him The Dress For 'Jeffery' Album Cover

Apparently God May Have A Fashion Sense, Of Sorts

Young Thug set the internet ablaze when his new album cover featured him fitted in a periwinkle colored dress. As Black Twitter vacillated on their feelings about his fashion choices, Thugger said it shouldn’t surprise anyone. His decision to wear the dress was, apparently, one of divine intervention but he’s been wearing girl’s/women’s clothing for a really long time. He discusses how his father used to discipline him for his fashion choices but he continues to wear what he wants because he doesn’t care what anyone thinks.

Young Thug has finally opened up about the controversy he recently caused by donning an extravagant gown on the cover of his latest mixtape release, No My Name Is Jeffrey.

His statements are likely to turn more heads.

“When I seen that dress, I felt like God gave it to me.” Thugger said when reflecting on the first time he laid eyes on the threads.

In the artist’s interview with Billboard, he also gave a little insight as to the origin of his gender bender choices of fashion.

“When I was 12, my feet were so small I wore my sisters’ glitter shoes,” he explained.

The rapper then continued, “My dad would whoop me: ‘You’re not going to school now, you’ll embarrass us!’ But I never gave a f— what people think.”

Thugger came close to breaking the internet when the cover of his project was released, as fans went into a frenzy, cooking up hilarious memes, while his Hip-Hop peers chastised his actions.

Despite all of the backlash, Young Thug still managed to land in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 charts for the second time with the August 26 release.

Thug is going to continue to do and wear what he wants and the sooner people let that go, the better off they will be.
