Gunna’s new album, One Of Wun, was released on May 10th. It has been extremely well received by his fans, who are already hailing the artist’s flow, lyrical acuity, and meaning. But could there be anything more under the surface? Apparently, there is. Some listeners have stated disses to both Drake and Lil Baby on several tracks. This has generated widespread excitement and speculation in cyberspace.
Let’s get to the song “Still Prevail”? The verse “I clear all the tabs/ They pay for their abs” makes some fans believe that Gunna’s dissing Drake. This echoes rumors about Drake getting cosmetic surgery for a sculpted stomach, similar to comments made by rappers like Kendrick Lamar and Rick Ross.

On the track “collage,” Gunna raps about not needing a writer. This has some fans pointing fingers at Lil Baby. For years, rumors have swirled that Gunna used to ghostwrite for Lil Baby. Some listeners believe Lil Baby’s music hasn’t been the same since their alleged split.
So, where are these disses coming from? It just comes down to that rumor mill. While the supposed Drake surgery is still a rumor, people have been talking about it for quite some time, and speculation about Gunna’s ghostwriting for Lil Baby has been jumping around for years. Nothing has been posted on social media by Drake, Lil Baby, or Gunna himself. But keep track; something may catch fire!
Maybe Gunna’s not even throwing shade. Or, those lyrics are about his success and always how the only way to go from there is down. The album is called One Of Wun, after all. I feel like we’ll never actually know and Gunna’s new album has a lot of levels making for fans to play with and music analysts to scour lyrics looking for reference and connection.
