“This Is My Last Wun”: The Rap Star Marks a Bold New Era
Gunna just shook the hip-hop world—again.
On June 25, 2025, the Atlanta rapper officially announced his upcoming album titled The Last Wun, declaring it his final release under Young Stoner Life Records (YSL). The move marks the end of a pivotal chapter in his career and signals the start of something fiercely independent.
With a simple tweet that read:
“THE LAST WUN 💿 (ALBUM) 🚨COMING SOON🚨”
Gunna dropped the mic—sending fans, critics, and hip-hop blogs into instant overdrive. The hashtag #TheLastWun quickly began trending, with fans speculating on what this means for the embattled YSL camp and Gunna’s place in rap history.
👋 The End of an Era: Leaving YSL Behind
The announcement confirms long-brewing rumors that Gunna was preparing to cut ties with YSL, the label that helped elevate him from Atlanta’s underground scene into global superstardom.
YSL, founded by Young Thug, has been mired in controversy since 2022, when multiple members—including Thug—were arrested in a sweeping RICO indictment that shook the industry. Gunna was released from jail that same year after taking an Alford plea, sparking praise from fans—but also backlash from parts of the rap community.
Some began labeling him a “snitch” despite the legal nuances, a narrative that Gunna never directly addressed—but clearly felt.
🧠 “The Last Wun” Isn’t Just an Album—It’s a Statement
While a release date has yet to be confirmed, insiders expect The Last Wun to drop in summer 2025, just in time to dominate playlists and festival stages.
But make no mistake: this project is more than just a collection of tracks.
“The title says farewell, but the energy says freedom,” one industry insider told The Pop Radar.
“Gunna’s letting go of the label—but he’s not letting go of his power.”
Indeed, Gunna appears to be reclaiming his narrative—pivoting away from the courtroom headlines and into creative control. This is his victory lap, not a retreat.
📀 What We Know So Far About The Last Wun
Though Gunna has kept the tracklist tightly under wraps, fans are already bracing for an explosive and emotional album—one that dives deep into loyalty, betrayal, resilience, and rebirth.
Given the tone of his previous release, a Gift & a Curse—which dropped in 2023 and showcased his introspective lyricism over trap-meets-melody production—expect The Last Wun to deliver raw honesty.
Anticipated Features & Sounds:
- No official guest list yet, but fans speculate he may go feature-light to emphasize his independence.
- Expect the signature melodic flow, emotionally vulnerable bars, and hard-hitting production he’s become known for.
- Possible continuation of themes from “fukumean” and “rodeo dr.” — tracks that captured his internal conflict and creative fire post-RICO.
🎤 A Rocky Road with YSL: From Brothers to Silence
Gunna and YSL once looked inseparable. Alongside Young Thug, he helped build the label’s identity—balancing streetwise credibility with Billboard-friendly charisma.
But since his 2022 release from jail, that relationship has visibly chilled.
- Gunna has not been seen with other YSL members in public.
- He’s kept his distance from legal commentary.
- No major YSL collaborations have emerged since.
In fact, tensions surfaced again when Future threw subtle shade at Gunna on Ferg’s “Allure,” a track that many fans interpreted as a call-out for disloyalty.
🧨 “Street Culture” vs. Survival: The Gunna Debate
Gunna’s image has been complicated ever since he left jail.
While millions of fans celebrated his return and praised a Gift & a Curse for its emotional depth, some corners of the rap world have refused to forgive—or forget.
The core debate?
- Was Gunna simply protecting himself legally?
- Or did he break the unspoken rules of street loyalty?
Whatever side you’re on, one thing’s for sure: Gunna’s not waiting for anyone’s approval anymore.
“This album is his emancipation,” says music journalist Ciara Porter.
“He’s not asking to be let back in—he’s building his own lane.”
🔥 Fan Reactions: Emotional, Divided, but Hyped
The announcement of The Last Wun lit up social media:
“This gonna be Gunna’s best work. He got something to prove.” – @HipHopShawty
“YSL or not, he still got the flow. I’m tuned in.” – @SlattSeason
“Kinda sad to see it end like this, but I get it. Do you, Gunna.” – @TrapSoulQueen
Others were quick to point out the symbolic weight of the title:
“#TheLastWun ain’t just about YSL. It’s about Gunna saying: ‘I’m done with the drama.’”
📈 What’s Next for Gunna?
With The Last Wun, Gunna is not just dropping an album—he’s setting the stage for life after YSL.
This could mean:
- Launching his own label imprint
- Signing a solo distribution deal
- Or fully embracing an independent model like artists such as Russ and Chance the Rapper
And given the cultural divide around his name, that independence might be exactly what he needs to rebuild his brand on his own terms.
🎯 Final Word: Gunna Isn’t Running—He’s Reinventing
From courtroom whispers to Billboard climbs, Gunna’s journey has been anything but predictable. Now, he’s closing one of the most dramatic chapters of his life with what could be his boldest, rawest, and most defining album yet.
So is The Last Wun a goodbye?
Yes—but it’s also a rebirth.
