Gunna was awarded his own day in South Fulton, Georgia on Thursday, Sept. 16. Mayor William “Bill” Edwards personally honored and presented him with a proclamation recognizing his success as a rapper, songwriter, and fashion influencer after having been raised by his four brothers.
The declaration reads, “Just like the Phoenix, rising above the ashes of adversity, Gunna is committed to giving back to the community that raised him, buffered him, sheltered him and supported him by creating Gunna’s Drip Closet and Goodr Grocery Store which is set to provide students of McNair Middle School with access to free meals, clothing and toiletries for years to come.
“Since 2018, through his Gunna Great Giveaway Foundation, Gunna has exhibited his efforts to serve the greater good by hosting free grocery stores in the community and providing over $100,000 in gift cards to families during the pandemic and supplied thousands of families in Houston, Texas with household items after the 2021 historic winter storms.”
“Now, therefore, be it resolved, that the Mayor and City Council recognizes Gunna for his service to the community, applauds his outstanding contributions to the music industry, acknowledges him for setting a stellar example to the young people in our community and do hereby proclaim Thursday, Sept. 16, 2021 as SERGIO GIOVANNI ‘GUNNA’ KITCHEN DAY in the City of South Fulton.”
Gunna posted Instagram video and photos to cherish the honor with the caption, “Thank You. #GunNaDAy #SOutHSiDe #DS4.”
