While many rappers have spoken out against the 9-to-5 grind in both their music and elsewhere, Gunna took to Twitter on Tuesday (April 26) presumably in the hopes of changing the narrative around day jobs.
“It’s Cool to work a 9-5 no Capp,” the DS4EVER rhymer wrote. “Getting money is Getting Money.”
This isn’t the only time Gunna has pushed back against the grain. In a sit-down with Rick Ross, A’Ja Wilson, Steve Stoute and LeBron James on the latter’s YouTube series The Shop, the Atlanta lyricist bit back at young artists who come into the rap game and are dismissive of major labels.
“Some people be like ‘well fuck the labels we don’t need labels,’ but these like really business partners how I look at it,’” Gunna said. “You shouldn’t say fuck the labels cause they taking a chance on you.”
He continued, “When they give you money, they taking the risk too. It’s up to you to really make this money back and go make more money, and like for like all like the young artists who are coming up like I wanna tell them just like man don’t look at it as like it’s a bad deal. You not getting what you want in the beginning because it can always get better.”
Gunna, who’s currently signed to Atlantic, said, “I call it like contract killer like, you give me the contract, I’m gonna kill it, and then in another contract, it’s my terms and conditions now.”

Damn, I was actually enjoying the sweet vacation of not hearing or seeing him on here then Boom…here he is like a bad case of diarrhea.
Is there a good case?
When it’s exam time and you haven’t studied.
Gunna right right about getting that Bag however you can, don’t be ashamed to admit you working on whatever goals and you got to crawl, walk, then run and take leaps and bounds. When I went back to college as an older student I also started a small commercial cleaning business. I cleaned offices buildings: vacuumed, swept, mopped, cleaned toilets, took out trash, etc. Some people looked down on me because I was a lowly janitor not knowing I owned my own business, not knowing I was in school working on my degree. Well at the end of the day I completed my Degree (B.A.- SOC) in three and a half years, graduated with honors and kept it moving. Moral of the story is do what you gotta do to accomplish what you want in life. Peace, G7..
