“Mf got Delonte West as the Album Cover…,” one user responded to Thug’s post on X (formerly Twitter). Another wrote: “I beg you with everything you love, do not make this the cover art.” One more fan added: “Thug the cover so ugly this might genuinely effect streams.”
Other fans pointed out Thug’s groundbreaking album covers in the past, such as Jeffrey, for which he wore an elaborate dress. For his mixtape, Barter 6, he also posed in the nude.
Thug previously discussed his inspiration for the title of the project with GQ. He told the outlet: “I just feel big, you know. The name of my album UY Scuti. I feel like I’m one of the biggest stars. I did a lot. Founding this culture. The new rap game that’s happening right now. I’m out of this world. Not like God, though.”
