Ever since Gunna was released on an Alford plea in the YSL RICO trial, fans have wondered about his ties to the YSL label and his relationship with Young Thug, who remains behind bars.
The Atlanta rapper welcomed Spotify's RapCaviar into his world for an episode A day in the life with Guna earlier this week, which found him clarifying whether he's still with Young Stoner Life Records.
“I'm still signed to YSL,” he confirmed. “I still provide. We're still pushing. The bureaucracy has not changed. So it's like, whatever's been done and how we've been pushing that, it's continuing.”
After his arrest in May 2022 as part of the YSL RICO case, Gunna – born Sergio Kitchens – secured his release through an Alford plea in December 2022, in which he pleaded guilty to a single charge and was sentenced to five years in prison. The rapper was credited with one year served and the remainder of his sentence was suspended.
Things seem to be fine between Gunna and Thug these days amid the lawsuit. Thugger's father attended Gunna's concert in Atlanta earlier this month and the two hugged and posed for a photo.
In the Spotify video, Gunna showed fans what a typical day looks like for him in ATL, starting with breakfast at his mom's house with his family, hitting the gym, meeting up with friends and more.
The 31-year-old is in his lover's season and wants romance and intimacy to be the inspiration behind his next project.
“I might make this love album… Not just love songs, but a pocket of songs [that are] more familiar songs,” he said. “I think this will be the next album for me.”
Maybe Gunna could work with Bossman Dlow down the line, as Gunna revealed the “Get in With Me” rapper and his most listened to right now are motivational anthems.
“I'm going to Bossman Dlow like a mom–r. Like that tough one. I know all these n—a words, bruh,” Wunna said while giving the Florida rapper his flowers. “Like really. That n—a put me in a pocket. I just feel good. I was on his wave.”
Guna returned in May with his own One from Wun album, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 91,000 album-equivalent units in its first week. The project arrived under exclusive license to Young Stoner Life Records/300 Entertainment, according to a description on Apple Music.
