Gunna may have been up for two trophies at this year’s BET Awards, but his appearance at the ceremony began on a hostile note thanks to an incident on the red carpet.
A man filmed himself approaching the Atlanta rapper at the awards show on Sunday (June 30) and confronting him about the allegations that he snitched on Young Thug in the ongoing YSL RICO case.
While walking towards Gunna, who was stood with two female staff members, the stranger said: “Gunna Wunna, man. You can’t be in the city doing all that ratting shit. You rat ass n-gga.”
The man then moved away from the “Fukumean” hitmaker as one of his female associates went to confront him. Gunna himself merely stared at him without saying anything.
The video was uploaded by a user named K Rich who previously went viral for an interaction JAY-Z about the long-running “dinner with JAY-Z or $500K?” debate.
While running into the Roc Nation mogul at a Los Angeles Chargers vs. Dallas Cowboys game last year, Rich jokingly told Hov: “I ain’t taking that dinner, I’m taking that $500,000.”
Jay replied by fist bumping the man and telling him to “be good.”
This is not the first time that Gunna has been publicly confronted with snitching accusations since taking a plea deal in the YSL RICO case, in which Young Thug remains on trial.
Last December, his former friend and collaborator Lil Baby took a shot at him during a concert when their hit “Drip Too Hard” began playing.
In a video captured by fans, Baby could be heard saying: “Fuck the rats, turn this shit off.”
Gunna has also been heckled with rat taunts before, including when his bodyguard checked a man in a mall for calling the rapper a snitch.
Gunna has vehemently denied snitching on Thug as part of his plea deal.
“While I have agreed to always be truthful, I want to make it perfectly clear that I have NOT made any statements, have NOT been interviewed, have NOT cooperated, have NOT agreed to testify or be a witness for or against any party in the case and have absolutely NO intention of being involved in the trial process in any way,” he said in a statement following his release from jail.
More recently, he rapped on his song “Prada Dem”: “I set the trend, I’m a trendsetter/ I’m not a rat, still gettin’ cheddar.”
I absolutely hate that this some of this generation does shit like this. Holding a camera trying to catch a celebrity off guard for a reaction. Yet if he gets his ass beat he’s suing
Lame ass. Glad Gunna kept his cool but I wish someone would’ve slapped the clout chasing goofy
