Quantavious Tavario Thomas[3] (born December 17, 1992), known professionally as Young Nudy, is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, he is known for his collaborations with his cousin and fellow rapper 21 Savage, as well as record producer Pi'erre Bourne. Thomas signed with RCA Records to release his debut studio album Anyways (2020), which was followed by Dr. Ev4l (2021), Rich Shooter (2021), EA Monster (2022), and Gumbo (2023). The latter spawned the single "Peaches and Eggplants" (featuring 21 Savage), which peaked within the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100.
Thomas initially gained fame for his Slimeball mixtape series, which led to him to sign with RCA and Same Plate Entertainment to release Slimeball 3 in 2018. His collaborative album with Pi'erre Bourne, Sli'merre (2019), became his breakout project and peaked at number 63 on the Billboard 200. During this time, he also became known for his unreleased song "Pissy Pamper" (with Pi'erre Bourne featuring Playboi Carti), which became a viral Internet meme following its leak that same year.[4] Also in 2019, he guest appeared on Dreamville Records' single "Down Bad," which became his first entry—at number 64—on the Billboard Hot 100.
