Gunna Releases Turbo-Produced Single ‘WhatsApp (Wassam)’ & Reveals ‘One of Wun’ Release Date
Written by djfrosty on May 3, 2024
Gunna season has arrived just in time for the summer. The YSL rapper unleashed the second single from his anticipated One of Wun album on Friday (May 3), as “WhatsApp (Wassam)” hit streaming services.
Gunna reconnects with frequent collaborator Turbo for a slippery chorus, which Turbo tells Billboard is inspired by a six-figure wire transfer the rapper received to perform at a private party.
“Man, wassam/ They sent the wire through WhatsApp (WhatsApp)/ Hope ain’t nobody to cuss at/ S–t changed but it still get pushed back/ I drop, make these little n—as push back,” Gunna raps.

“WhatsApp (Wassam)” serves as the second single from Gunna’s upcoming album, following the Offset-assisted “Prada Dem.” Gunna also announced that One of Wun is slated to land next Friday (May 10).
“What’s app (wassam) @turbothegreat One of Wun May 10th,” he wrote on Instagram alongside an accompanying clip from the unreleased music video featuring Gunna having a conversation on the phone with Turbo the Great.
One of Wun contains 20 tracks, including the two previously released singles. Prior to the album’s arrival, Gunna will hit the road in support of the LP with The Bittersweet Tour kicking off this weekend in Columbus, Ohio.
Produced by Live Nation, the 16-date trek will make stops in Chicago, Houston, Miami, Denver, Seattle and more major markets before wrapping up with a hometown show at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena.
Gunna’s last album, A Gift & a Curse, was released in June 2023 and served as his first since being released from jail. The effort arrived free of features and topped Billboard‘s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200.
