Gunna’s sixth studio album showcases an impressive collaboration with a diverse range of guest artists, including Offset, Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Nechie. Spanning a remarkable 25 tracks, this extensive project is a testament to Gunna’s versatility and ability to connect with other top talents in the music industry.
Just over a year ago, Gunna released an album while his label head, Young Thug, was incarcerated, a situation that has been a topic of much discussion in the hip-hop community.
Recently, Gunna took a moment to express his gratitude to his loyal fanbase for their unwavering support during his tumultuous times. In an interview with will.i.am for Uproxx, the Atlanta rapper reflected on the importance of his fans as he navigated serious legal troubles and the fallout from his association with YSL.
When asked about his experience returning to live performances after his time in jail, Gunna shared, “It’s one of the best feelings in the world, that I’ll never forget. I never take it for granted. I can just go back to that time and be like, ‘Man, my fans really came through for me.’ It was about me but it was really about them showing up for me. I got die-hard fans, for sure.” His heartfelt words emphasize the deep connection he shares with his supporters.
In a heartfelt message to his fans, Gunna stated: “First, thank you for being with me. And never give up. Don’t stop, especially when they want you to stop. Really keep going then. That’s when you really, really push. Pray until something happens. A lot of things will pull you down or get in your way… when you get over the hump, you feel stronger.” His advice resonates with anyone facing challenges, encouraging perseverance and faith.
Since reaching a plea deal in 2022, Gunna has faced ongoing accusations of snitching, with some former associates weighing in on the controversy. However, these claims have been addressed by his former attorney, Steve Sadow, who has sought to clarify the situation surrounding Gunna’s legal decisions and maintain his reputation in the industry.
