ABOUT GUNNA:
Gunna has undergone perhaps one of the most significant transformations in hip-hop history. You can trace his evolution throughout a string of projects over the last ten years as he’s morphed from delivering gritty street anthems born from the darkest corners of Atlanta to providing motivation via his music, altering his mindset to prioritize wellness, and inspiring through his business moves as an elite entrepreneur.
He delivered an inescapable anthem in the form of “Drip Too Hard” with Lil Baby, receiving a Diamond certification from the RIAA and cracking the Top 5 of the Billboard Hot 100. He has scored two back-to-back #1 debuts on the Billboard 200 with Wunna [2020] and DS4Ever
Following A Gift & a Curse [2023], he landed his fifth Top 3 debut on the Billboard 200 and fifth #1 debut on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart with the acclaimed One of Wun [2024]. In support of the latter, he embarked on the sold-out “The Bittersweet Tour” headline run across the U.S.
Upping his business game, this entrepreneur also co-owns Flerish Hydration and has invested in CYMBIOTIKA. Plus, he gives back at every turn with his non-profit organization “Gunna’s Great Giveaway.” Among many initiatives, he teamed up with sustainable hunger relief company Goodr to host the first-ever Gunna’s Goodr Grocery Store and Drip Closet at his alma mater Ronald E. McNair Middle School. In 2025, the diamond-selling superstar remains a voice for his generation on his sixth full-length album The Last Wun [via Young Stoner Life Records/300 Entertainment]
