“I was in the process of starting my swimwear line and he would always ask about it,” Karlae says when discussing why she knew that Young Thug was the man she wanted to be with. “He always just seemed into me and my work. Something that I really liked about him was the fact that he was into something else besides saying, ‘Oh, she’s cute.’ He’s still like that to this day. He’s very concerned with what I’m doing with myself. Since we’ve got engaged, I’ve been chilling and he’s telling me that I have to start working and get back to my business. That’s the thing that I love about him.”

In addition to the love he has for his girl, Thugger also remains motivated with the love from his fans; Kanye West happens to be one of those fans. The “Be Me See Me” rapper admits that as a fan, not only does Kanye want to hear the Atlantan’s music, but he also is in the works, or at least the thought process of working on an album with him, according to Young Thug.

Kanye and Thugger “[were] backstage at one of the tour dates at the Staples Center in L.A. and Kanye was backstage. He had a Beats Pill and was like, ‘I wanna hear all of your music in the world that’s not out.’ So I was letting him hear all the music. Then he said I was like Bob Marley and he wanted to do an album with me. I was like, ‘Let’s roll!’ He’s a fan. So that leads back to me saying fans are the main reason you stay motivated and become who you want to be. Kanye is like my brother, but he’s a real fan. He bought me some Yeezys and went on eBay to get them for me. That’s motivation.”
