In the first video footage since his imprisonment, Gunna was seen talking to his godson via video call. The clip of their conversation surfaced earlier this weekend, with the rapper showing all smiles.
“He’s like, what’s going on?”, one of the women on the call said. Gunna’s godson may have been speaking on the strange circumstances surrounding his godfather’s arrest. “Sounds like a real playa doe,” Gunna responded.
Though the clip was brief, fans can rest assured that the “Pushin P” artist is doing his best to keep his spirits up.
It’s been somewhat quiet on Gunna’s end since the Atlanta native was arrested alongside Young Thug and others on a 56 count indictment earlier this year. However, a photo of the artist surfaced online after his bond was denied for the second time. Some fans expressed their concern over his appearance.
During that time, reports also began floating around that a nurse was caught smuggling drugs into the Fulton County Jail for Gunna. However, the rapper’s attorney, Steve Sadow, was quick to shut the rumors down.
“None of the allegations made today, these so-called new allegations, are accurate,” Sadow said in a statement. He also issued a statement on behalf of Gunna’s parents.
“All they’re looking for is their son to get a fair shake, and they don’t think that’s happening so far,” he said.
A Recap Of Gunna’s Situation
According to a report published early in July, Gunna is expected to remain in jail until January 2023. He has also been denied bond twice, with the latest instance occurring in May. That month, the rapper pled not guilty in response to his racketeering charge.
In June, Gunna issued a statement via Instagram on his circumstances, in an effort to push back against the alleged “ugly and untrue” image being painted of him. He also spoke out against the usage of rap lyrics as evidence in criminal cases.
As coverage of the case has grown, so has support for the Protect Black Art petition. The petition aims to protect artists from having their lyrics used against them in court.
