AceShowbiz - Young Thug has publicly extended an offer to sign Kodak Black to his YSL Records imprint following the Florida rapper’s recent departure from Capitol Records.

After news surfaced that Kodak Black is now an independent artist, Young Thug took to X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, June 21, 2026, to broadcast his willingness to provide the rapper with whatever he might want in a new deal. Young Thug emphasized his openness to a partnership that could benefit both parties.

Kodak Black originally signed with Capitol Records in 2022 in a deal reportedly worth millions, following an eight-year tenure with Atlantic Records. He fulfilled his six-album obligation with Atlantic after releasing Pistolz & Pearlz in 2023. Later that year, he debuted under Capitol with When I Was Dead and continued to release multiple projects under that label.

Most recently, Kodak Black dropped Kodak the Blessing, a surprise mixtape released in celebration of his 29th birthday. The extensive 26-track project features collaborations with artists such as 1900Rugrat, Albee Al, Fridayy, Reese Youngn, and Rylo Rodriguez.

The release of Kodak the Blessing marks the end of his Capitol Records chapter, positioning Kodak Black as a free agent in the music industry. If he accepts Young Thug’s offer, he would join YSL Records’ roster, which currently includes artists like Strick, Yung Kayo, 1300Saint, Tezzus, and Diamond*.

As of now, Kodak Black has not publicly responded to the proposal from Young Thug. The move could signal a new era for the Florida rapper as he navigates his independent status and potential new collaborations within YSL.

This development comes amid a growing trend of established artists supporting independent talent and expanding their labels with fresh signees. Fans and industry watchers will be closely following whether Kodak Black decides to join forces with Young Thug and YSL Records in the coming months.
