Young Thug issued an apology to rapper GloRilla after a leaked jailhouse call with his girlfriend, Mariah the Scientist, captured him making negative remarks about GloRilla's looks.

"That b— ugly as f—... I would not pursue her, like at all," he said during the call, also making harsh comments about her appearance, including her wig and body.

After the video gained traction online and drew backlash, 46-year-old Young Thug apologized in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on September 4, AllHipHop reported.

"First of all I'm sorry to u for my words and I honestly don't think ur ugly at all," he wrote. "I was speaking from jail just having a hard time with life. I don't like bashing girls and hardly ever did... I'm sorry to u twin."

His trial has faced multiple delays, and leaked calls like this continue to fuel controversy outside the courtroom.
