Does Young Thug Want to be Lil Wayne? Turk Gives His Opinion on 'Tha Carter 6' Album Title

Former Hot Boys member, Turk, recently sat down with The Breakfast Club and dished on a number of topics, including Young Thug's decision to name his album Tha Carter 6. Turk gave his opinion and also said that Thug may want to be Wayne.

Though the naming of Thug's album has seemingly accelerated the turmoil in the Cash Money camp, Turk believes the controversy is a bit overblown, partially because of the media.

"I think it's slick. I think Young Thug wants to be Wayne," he said of Thug's album title. "Whether directly or indirectly, he done said it and it be contradicting statements when he talk, but I believe he looks up to Wayne. I think the media is making it like that [disrespectful] and he's running with it because he loves the attention."

When asked about a similar incident when Wayne named his third album 500 Degreez at the time Juvenile was at odds with Cash Money, Turk gave a different perspective.

"I was locked up so I can't speak on that...but I feel like you can really name your album whatever you want, you got a freedom of speech. I don't see no problem with it, but when you have all that other stuff coming with it trying to make fun and stuff, that's the disrespect and I'm strong on respect."

Juvenile released his third studio album, 400 Degreez, in 1998, four years before Wayne's album dropped.

During the interview, Turk also discussed his current relationships with Juvenile, Mannie Fresh and Wayne and the future of The Hot Boys.

He also opened up about a few personal issues like being clean for 11 years and his wife fighting cancer.
