Offset has claimed that Gunna is his favorite artist to collaborate with.
While many rappers have shied away from Gunna following YSL’s controversial RICO trial in which he took an Alford plea, Offset has made it clear he is standing by his friend.
Speaking on the Full Send Podcast, Offset said: “We just know the pockets to be in, bounce off each other with good ideas.”
The former Migos rapper added that he had not experienced any backlash for working with Gunna: “Don’t be my business, so, nah. I don’t see no flak.”
He continued: “He taught me a valuable lesson too: tune shit out and get to what people really love you for.”
Fat Joe recently claimed that while he was a fan of Gunna’s music, he could not support it due to allegations that he snitched on Young Thug.
He explained: “My thing is now, you got some guys that are the hottest guys in the game. Rats. Like I get a phone call from somebody. He says, ‘Yo man, you got to check this album out.’ … Listen, ever since I assumed you a rat, your people ain’t fucking with you no more. I’m off you no matter what you do.”
Joe added: “I never went to see this guy one time in my life after he ratted because he violated the code. I’ve been through this in my life. And so to see it so acceptable how everybody’s acting like, ‘Yo, it’s OK, it’s no problem, it’s good music. … Let’s separate the art form from what it is.’”
Gunna has been plagued by snitching accusations ever since he agreed an Alford plea in YSL’s long-running and controversial RICO trial.
He has always denied snitching on anybody and has been backed up by his former lawyer, Steve Sadow.
“I was Gunna’s attorney but I am NOT speaking on his behalf. This long post is solely to set out the truth,” he said. “Gunna did NOT cooperate, and did NOTHING and said NOTHING to cause harm to Thug’s case. He spent 8 months in jail and was released in Dec. 2022 after entering an Alford plea. Gunna’s plea could not and was not used at Thug’s trial and he was never even named as a witness. He received a 5-yr suspended sentence, with no reporting, no travel restrictions, no living restrictions, AND NO PROBATION.
