Posted by Young Thug recently suggested his latest album, Punk, was more of an R&B album. During his Saturday Night Live debut on Saturday (October 16), the Atlanta native brought his theory to life with a double shot of performances — “Tick Tock” and “Love You More” featuring a fashionably ready Gunna, Fun. singer Nate Reuss and Hip Hop drummer-for-hire Travis Barker.
Rocking pink for both performances, Thugger ran through “Tick Tock” with high wire energy, letting his blond dreadlocks flow in front of him as Barker backed him on drums. For “Love You More,” he donned a pink fur jacket, wrapped his hair up and performed the single as if he and Gunna were an R&B duo who knew a thing or two about falling in love and expressing it.
