YSL rapper Gunna pens an open letter to his fans to reflect on the past year of his career and thank them for their continuous support as he awaits his trial.

Currently being held for conspiracy to violate Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, Gunna penned a two-page letter released through his record label, 300 Entertainment.

The rapper addresses his fans by saying how good 2022 was for him despite his current legal woes.

“2022 has been one of the best years of my life, despite this difficult situation,” Gunna said. “This year, I had the whole world pushing P.”

Gunna touched on how growing up in a “marginalized neighborhood” exposed him to witnessing Black men, women, and children being attacked, berated, and murdered his entire life.

“Growing up from where I come from in a marginalized neighborhood, I never dreamed my art would change my life and the lives of my loved ones,” Gunna said. “My entire life, I’ve seen Black men, Black women, and Black children constantly attacked, hated, murdered, berated, belittled, silenced, judged, used, and held captive.

Gunna reiterates that his RICO charges have painted an ugly picture of himself and his character and says he has nothing but faith that he will be found innocent.

“The picture that is being painted of me is ugly and untrue,” Gunna said. “My fans know I love to celebrate life, I love my family, I love travel, I love music, I love my fans. I have all faith that God will grant me justice for the purity in my heart and the innocence of my actions.”

He concluded his letter by sharing that nothing can stop him from chasing his dreams, and when he is free of his charges, he will continue to be good and kind to the community around him.

“Nothing will stop me from chasing my dreams, I won’t stop being a good person, even if some unnamed and unknown accusers want the world to see me as bad person,” Gunna said. “When I was free, I tried to be good and kind to the community around me, and, when I am released, I will do the same thing all over again. We still pushing P: Power, Prayer, Progress, Passion, Productivity, Praise, Precision, Pease, Prosperity, Patience, Pride, and Persistence.”

After turning himself in, Gunna was denied bond last month during his first appearance in court. The judge deemed Gunna a “danger to witnesses and other folks tied to this” before denying his bond. He entered a not guilty plea on one count of allegedly violating Georgia’s racketeering law. His trial date is set for Jan. 9.
