Belly Gang Kushington

Belly Gang Kushington, born Victor Thomas, is an American rapper from the Adamsville neighborhood of Atlanta. The name comes from a nickname about having "kush by the ton". He's been recording since 2016, and after a last jail stint in 2023 he committed to rap, signing with the city's Love Renaissance (LVRN) label in late 2024.

His debut album The Streets Is Yours came out in 2025, the year a video of him performing on a shut-down stretch of I-20 went viral and he toured with Lil Wayne. The "Friend Do" remix with YKNiece became his breakthrough that fall, spending three months at No. 1 on Billboard's strip club chart, and a deluxe edition, The Streets Is Yours: The Re-Up, followed in November.

Billboard named him its Hip-Hop Rookie of the Month for March 2026, he picked up a BET Award nomination for Best New Artist, and he was 35 when XXL put him in its 2026 Freshman Class. "WTF GOIN" with 21 Savage became his first Hot 100 entry, peaking at No. 43, and a line from it led Atlanta's Magic City to rename its lemon pepper wings "Belly Gang". In July he cut a Red Bull 60 Second Freestyle back home, and in September he traded verses with BigXThaPlug on "LITE".
