Young Thug performed “Tick Tock” and “Love You More” on Saturday Night Live this week, a day after releasing his newest album Punk. Travis Barker sat in on drums for both songs, while Gunna and Nate Ruess joined Young Thug on the latter track, which appears on Punk. It marked Thug’s solo debut as SNL musical guest. Rami Malek hosted the episode ahead of next week’s installment with Jason Sudeikis and Brandi Carlile. Watch Young Thug take the stage—and a Prince-off between Malek, Daniel Craig, and Kenan Thompson—below.
Young Thug announced Punk in July during his “Tiny Desk (Home)” performance. He shared the new single “Tick Tock” in August, but the track was omitted from the LP. After releasing the Slime Language 2 compilation with Gunna and Young Stoner Life in April, Young Thug appeared on other big-name projects through the rest of the year. He joined Elton John on “Always Love You” alongside Nicki Minaj, and added a guest verse to Drake’s “Way 2 Sexy” with Future. He also made the final cut of Kanye West’s Donda on “Remote Control.”
