Gunna’s “fukumean” Becomes His First Solo Top 10 Hit

by

Gunna saw a lot of success with his new album a Gift & a Curse, one of hip-hop’s standout releases of the year so far. Not only did it add to the YSL affiliate’s narrative after taking a plea deal in the label’s RICO case, but it also contains plenty of bangers as well. Moreover, one of these is “fukumean,” which quickly became a fan favorite off the project for its engaging beat and wavy flows. In fact, it seems like it’s only going up, because in the three weeks or so since the album’s release, it reached its highest commercial peak so far. Furthermore, the track became the rapper’s first solo top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, placing at number eight.

Of course, it’s not hard to see why this track is rising up the streaming and sales ranks out of all the others. When looking at a Gift & a Curse‘s tracklist, this is one of the few cuts that exists largely outside of the trial’s context. In addition, it’s one of the more exciting and stank-face-inducing performances and instrumentals on the album. As such, it reminds fans of the old Gunna in the best way while still fitting well with the more somber and lyrically focused songs.

Gunna’s “fukumean” Garners Him A Milestone Achievement

Even the music video and a viral interaction with its producer Dunk Rock garnered some attention online. Unfortunately for Gunna, all the project’s success and hot tracks come with a larger-than-life asterisk for many hip-hop listeners out there. His continued presumed beef with artists about his plea deal took center stage with this release, including former collaborators like Lil Baby and Lil Durk. Still, we don’t know where things are at with Young Thug, which is probably the most burning and important question that fans want answered.

Regardless, hits like “fukumean,” no matter your take on them, suggest that his career is here to stay. In the three weeks since a Gift & a Curse dropped, discussion around the drama of his situation mostly died down. Hopefully that means that all parties involved can just get back to their lives and focus on more important issues. With that in mind, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Gunna.

LeBron James Shows Love To Gunna On Instagram: “Back At It!”

by

Gunna’s a Gift & a Curse is poised to be one of the biggest hip-hop moments of 2023, if not one of its most successful. Not only did it create a lot of buzz given the rapper’s legal situation, but it also contained a nice number of hits that resonated with fans. Moreover, the tracklist all starts with “back at it,” which opens the album up with a minimal guitar-led instrumental while the YSL affiliate introduces his lyrical themes of betrayal, loyalty, and perseverance. Clearly, that song hit hard for a lot of people, even if there are other cuts on there that are more bonafide bangers. What’s more is that even some of the world’s biggest stars are really enjoying Wunna’s work, and making notable moments as a result.

Furthermore, LeBron James just posted “back at it” on his Instagram Story, with him simply writing “Back at it!” on a black background as the song plays. Of course, the NBA legend often shouts out some of his favorite artists, songs, and albums on his social media. Other contenders throughout his storied career include “March Madness” by Future, Kendrick Lamar, and a lot of other great picks. Now Gunna’s on that list even if he got a little late to the party, even if that actually just shows that the tracklist lasts.

In other LeBron James news, he recently coached his son Bryce at the Peach Jam, one of the biggest events of the Nike EYBL. While many saw this as just a wholesome family and sports crossover, others believe that this could actually be a more predictive moment. After all, James at least spoke about thinking a lot about retirement following the Los Angeles Lakers’ exit from the NBA playoffs this year. Whether he stays to play with his son Bronny remains to be seen, but many think that he could end up being a coach in the future regardless of what the timeline is.

Meanwhile, the “fukumean” MC is still riding high off of the success of a Gift & a Curse. At the midpoint of the year, many online believe that he might have the best rap album of 2023 so far. Let us know if you agree with that in the comments, but you can’t deny that it caused a lot of conversation. Still, for more news and the latest updates on LeBron James and Gunna, log back into HNHH.

Gunna Blasts Trolls For Claiming He Used A Clone In “FukUMean” Video

by

Gunna released his latest song “FukUMean” this week, featuring a pink-filtered, hard-partying music video. It’s the second single he has released from A Gift & A Curse, his June album that peaked at #3 on the Billboard 200. “FukUMean” is doing fairly well, debuting at #16 and rising to #12 this week on the Billboard 100. The other single he released from the album, “Bread & Butter”, peaked at #48. “FukUMean” is Gunna’s first top-20 single since “Too Easy” Ft. Future in 2021. Furthermore, it’s his best charting single since “Lemonade” with Internet Money and Don Toliver ft. Nav hit #6 in 2020.

The song follows a common theme for Gunna’s recent work – flexing on his haters with his lavish lifestyle. Obviously, the rapper is still trying to work back from fairly serious snitching allegations relating to Young Thug. However, while people are obviously appreciating the track, there is another aspect of the release that has stirred up discourse.

Gunna Responds To Claims Of Using A “Clone”

A fairly dramatic physical transformation for Gunna has led some social media users to argue that the person featured in the video was not actually Gunna. The leading theory amongst these conspiracists is that Gunna was replaced, or actively used, a “clone” for the video. Clone conspiracies can actually get pretty nasty, as they typically tie into notions of anti-semitism and the “new world order”. For example, many people argued Damar Hamlin actually died after collapsing during an NFL game earlier this year. However, he was replaced by a “clone” so that the “New World Order” could “hide” evidence that the COVID-19 vaccine was dangerous.

Gunna himself took to social media to respond to some of the claims. The rapper quote-tweeted one claim that it wasn’t him in the video. Gunna crossed out the “Fuku” part of “Fukumean” so that his response just read “mean” instead. Many other people came to the defense of the rapper, arguing that a little bit of weight loss did not make someone a “clone”. As far as conspiracy theories go, it’s fairly harmless. However, Gunna has made it quite obvious that he doesn’t find it funny.
