Gunna has decided that his comeback will be greater than the setbacks of the last couple of years, teasing that he’ll be dropping new music “soon.”
The revelation came after the Atlanta rapper left a comment on the Rap Caviar Instagram page on Friday (January 5) after the outlet posted the question, “@ a rapper who needs to drop in 2024.”

Gunna chimed in, tagged himself, and said “soon.” Spotify, too, replied to Gunna’s comment with the eyes emoji.

In December, Gunna was selected by HipHopDX as having the comeback of the year for 2023.
For a while, many doubted that Gunna would be able to climb his way back to the heights he achieved just 11 months prior when he earned his first No. 1 album with DS4Ever. Some even wondered whether his career was over altogether.

With the release of his third album A Gift & A Curse this past summer, though, Gunna silenced the critics and proved that not even snitching allegations can drown the Drip King.
Loaded with infectious, hard-hitting anthems and a defiant edge that’s reflected in its lack of guest features, the project peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart while its platinum-certified single “Fukumean” cracked the Top 5 on the Hot 100 chart, becoming one of the biggest (and unlikeliest) rap hits of 2023.
Gunna also delivered two sold-out — and impressively put-together — arena shows in New York City and Los Angeles, proving the line of people still riding with him outnumber those ready to tear him down.
Gunna definitely had the biggest comeback of 2023 and he has shown no sign of slowing down moving into the new year.

That hasn’t stopped some from still bringing up the not-so-distant past. Last month, Young Thug’s dad Jeffrey Williams Sr., hit out at Lil Baby after footage surfaced of him calling Gunna a “rat” during a concert.
Speaking to journalist Infamous Sylvia about Thug’s ongoing RICO case, Williams Sr. said: “He needs to shut the fuck up because he doesn’t know what’s going on. He’s going off what he heard.

“Ask Lil Baby: has he ever come to a court date? That’s what I want y’all to ask these goddamn rappers and these bloggers with this old snitch shit. When have y’all went to a court date to support Slime, to support Jeffrey, to support Thug? However you wanna name him.”
“Go on their social media pages and say, ‘Why in the fuck haven’t you been to the courthouse to support your dude?’ And I guarantee you won’t get an answer,” he added. “So that’s how I feel. Everybody that hasn’t been there needs to shut the fuck up about Gunna.”
