Gunna is an American rapper, singer, songwriter and record producer from College Park, Georgia. He rose to fame with his melodic trap style, often called drip music, and became a key figure in the Atlanta hip-hop scene. Known for his smooth flows and luxury-themed lyrics, Gunna has released six studio albums, with Wunna (2020) and DS4Ever (2022) both debuting at number one on the Billboard 200. His hit single Drip Too Hard with Lil Baby earned diamond certification and a Grammy nomination. As of 2026, Gunna continues to release music and perform, maintaining a strong fanbase despite legal controversies. His distinctive fashion sense and laid-back delivery have made him a trendsetter in modern trap music. Born Sergio Giavanni Kitchens on June 14, 1993, he is 33 years old and stands approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall. He has a significant social media presence with millions of followers across platforms. [edit]

Gunna grew up in College Park, a suburb of Atlanta, raised primarily by his mother alongside four older brothers. His father taught him from an early age that if he wanted something in life, it was up to him to go get it. He attended multiple schools, including Ronald E. McNair Middle School, North Springs Charter School, Banneker High School, Langston Hughes High School, and Creekside High School. He started making music at age 15, inspired by artists like Cam'ron, Chingy, and Outkast. In 2013, he released his first mixtape Hard Body under the name Yung Serg. His big break came in 2015 when he met Young Thug through a mutual friend, Keith Troup. Young Thug took Gunna under his wing, and Gunna appeared on Young Thug's 2016 mixtape Jeffery on the track Floyd Mayweather alongside Gucci Mane and Travis Scott. [edit]

Gunna signed with YSL Records and 300 Entertainment in 2016, releasing the Drip Season mixtape series. His breakthrough came in 2018 with Drip Season 3 and the collaborative mixtape Drip Harder with Lil Baby, which peaked at number 4 on the Billboard 200. The single Drip Too Hard reached number 4 on the Hot 100 and went diamond. His debut album Drip or Drown 2 (2019) peaked at number 3. In 2020, Wunna became his first number 1 album, and the single Lemonade hit number 6. DS4Ever (2022) also debuted at number 1. In May 2022, Gunna was arrested in the YSL RICO case; he took a plea deal and was released in December. He returned with A Gift & a Curse (2023), featuring the top 10 single FukUMean, followed by One of Wun (2024) and The Last Wun (2025), his final release through YSL/300. His recent work features collaborations with Offset, Normani, and Roddy Ricch. [edit]

Gunna is known for his melodic trap style, often described as drip music, characterized by smooth, laid-back flows and luxury-themed lyrics. His signature aesthetic includes high-fashion streetwear, designer accessories, and a cool, understated demeanor. The media portrays him as a resilient figure who overcame legal challenges to maintain his career. His content's tone is confident and aspirational, focusing on wealth, success, and street credibility. His fandom does not have an officially documented name, but fans are often associated with the drip culture he popularized. After his 2022 plea deal, some accused him of cooperating, but he maintained he did not testify. [edit]

Gunna's fanbase doesn't have one official name, but his followers have carved out their own informal identities from his personal branding. They call themselves 'Shady Babies,' 'Slimes,' and 'Gunna Wunnas,' terms drawn from his Instagram bio and the broader YSL lexicon. His 'CAPITAL P' hand gesture and phrase have become a fan signal, and the 'WUNNA' chant is a staple at his live shows. Fans are highly active on TikTok, where his music has soundtracked over 640,000 videos, and they coordinate streaming pushes and hashtag campaigns around his releases.

On the fame front, iFANN's Global Fame Engine has evaluated Gunna, but as of August 2026, he does not currently hold a placement in the published rankings, neither in the Global Top 1,000 nor in any Top-100 scope list. That means no numeric rank or score is available, but his reach is undeniable: millions of followers across Instagram, TikTok, Spotify, and YouTube, and a fanbase that rallied around his comeback after legal troubles. His run club, inspired by his own transformation, has become a genuine community activity, with fans lacing up together.[edit]

Gunna started making music at 15 and released his first mixtape, Hard Body, under the name Yung Serg in 2013. He attended four different high schools, and the shooting death of one of his brothers forced him to grow up quickly. He met Young Thug through mutual friend Keith Troup in 2015, and appeared on Young Thug's Jeffery mixtape alongside Gucci Mane and Travis Scott before signing to YSL. He opened a free grocery market at his former middle school through a partnership with Goodr. Despite industry backlash after his 2022 plea deal, he continued to achieve commercial success with A Gift & a Curse (2023) and subsequent albums. As of late 2025, his social media following includes 6.0 million on Instagram, 2.6 million on TikTok, 10.4 million on Spotify, 3.4 million on YouTube, 2.8 million on X, and 2.0 million on Facebook.

One of the most retold stories in his career is the YSL RICO case and the fallout with Young Thug. Arrested in May 2022, Gunna accepted an Alford plea in December 2022, maintaining his innocence while acknowledging prosecutors had enough evidence. The rift with Young Thug became public in May 2026, when Thug said he 'can't look at Gunna the same' even though they 'love each other to death.' Fans still debate the plea, and it's a defining moment in his narrative.

Another iconic moment is the viral success of 'fukumean' in 2023, which became a summer anthem and a TikTok phenomenon, symbolizing his comeback after legal troubles.[edit]

Gunna was raised primarily by his mother and has four older brothers. One of his brothers was tragically shot and killed, a loss that deeply affected him. He has not publicly shared details about his father or other family members. As of 2026, Gunna does not have a spouse or children. He has spoken about the importance of family and community, and he partnered with the hunger relief organization Goodr to open a free grocery market at his former middle school, Ronald E. McNair Middle School. [edit]

Gunna is closely associated with Young Thug, who mentored him and signed him to YSL Records. He frequently collaborates with Lil Baby, with whom he released the hit Drip Too Hard and the mixtape Drip Harder. Other frequent collaborators include Offset, Travis Scott, Gucci Mane, and Internet Money. He has worked with artists like Normani, Roddy Ricch, and Don Toliver on his later albums. [edit]

Gunna has kept his romantic life largely private, and there are no confirmed long-term public relationships reported by credible sources. He has not been publicly engaged, married, or linked to any partner with confirmed dating timelines. As of 2026, Gunna's relationship status is not publicly reported; he appears to be single based on available information, with no current partner named in credible media outlets. [edit]

iFANN currently estimates Gunna's net worth at $5 million. His primary income sources include music sales and streaming revenue from six studio albums and multiple mixtapes, with hits like 'Drip Too Hard' (diamond-certified) and 'Lemonade' generating substantial royalties. Touring and live performances have also contributed significantly, as have endorsement deals with fashion and lifestyle brands. Gunna also earns from songwriting and production credits for himself and other artists. While specific real estate holdings and investments are not publicly disclosed, his partnership with Goodr for a community grocery market reflects his community reinvestment. His net worth has grown steadily despite the 2022 legal setback, as his post-release albums have performed well commercially.[edit]
