A billboard pops up for Gunna’s reported upcoming Netflix documentary after the rapper hosted a private screening last year, but Netflix isn’t talking.
Whispers in the wind have hinted since last year that Gunna has a documentary coming to Netflix titled “The Last Wun,” mirroring the name of his sixth studio album. The rapper reportedly hosted a private screening of the film last year in New York City. Now, a billboard promoting it and confirming the title has seemingly popped up, further fueling speculation that a release is forthcoming. However, Netflix has remained silent on the matter.
Gunna’s recent album, which he dropped last August, was notable as his final studio effort released under YSL Records, and features collaborations with Offset, Burna Boy, Wizkid, Nechie, and Asake. The artist made plenty of headlines following the album’s release and his ongoing feud with Young Thug over the fallout from the YSL RICO case.
But the possibility of an upcoming release for the film project has sparked renewed buzz from fans on social media, many of whom hope such a film will provide clarity regarding Gunna’s former friendship with Young Thug. The two artists were once close collaborators, and Young Thug spoke openly about the situation during an appearance on the It’s Up There podcast back in September.
“It ain’t even about not fucking with you because I want him to just understand why I feel like it shouldn’t happen again because I’m not gonna be able to look at you the same no matter what,” Young Thug said. “We can get a trillion dollars together; I’m still not gonna be able to look at you the way I looked at you before we went to jail. We love each other; we’re just going our own ways. Sometimes you do that.”
Meanwhile, 21 Savage recently urged the two to move toward reconciliation in a post on the former Twitter.
“Y’all n—as fix that shit; y’all love each other,” his post began. “You knew Gunna wasn’t no gangster when he told you the first time, and we swept it under the rug for you. You know he wasn’t tryna leave you to hang […], fuck the streets; we ain’t get shit but trauma from that shit.”
That post snowballed into much debate over the broader connotations of the concept of “fuck the streets,” and the so-called hypocrisy of rappers who rose to fame with lyrics glorifying street violence. Other artists who have chimed in on the matter include A$AP Rocky, Tekashi 6ix9ine, NBA YoungBoy, and Meek Mill.
