It seems Gunna has undergone a lifestyle change since accepting his plea deal. A new photo has surfaced online and he has lost some serious weight.
As per HipHopDX the College Park, Georgia native has kept a very low profile since taking a plea deal. While it remains to be seen whether he and Young Thug are still on good terms or if he is signed to Young Stoner Life Records; it seems he has recently prioritized his health. This week a photograph leaked online showing the “Pushin P” MC with hanging with some assumed friends. While he wasn’t front and center in the group shot it is apparent he lost some weight and added some muscle definition in the process.
Naturally his leaner frame caused a stir prompting folks to compare him to Gucci Mane; another Atlanta star who got in shape. “They cloned Gunna like they did Gucci Mane,” one user tweeted. As expected some used the opportunity to get a joke off at the rapper’s expense. “Lost the auntie hips!” another user responded. “The rest of the wide hipped men should follow.” The new photo spotting comes on the heels of Gunna teasing his comeback to music. Last week Gunna responded to a fan page on Instagram saying “I’m on the way.”
Young Thug is currently on trial fighting a 56-count Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) indictment filed by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. He has plead not guilty to all the charges.

Gunna hasn’t known a moment of peace since exiting prison after it was widely assumed that the rapper cooperated with authorities in the ongoing Young Thug and YSL RICO case. The rapper saw his name trending on Twitter on Wednesday (March 22) after footage of Tekashi 6ix9ine catching a beatdown in Florida went wide, thus putting the Wunna star on fade notice.
Gunna, real name Sergio Kitchens, was swept up in the Georgia RICO case brought against Young Thug and his role in leading the alleged Young Stoner Life gang. As one of the many defendants, Gunna was among the group that was let go after appearing in court and agreeing to a deal that allowed him to go free. The public at large considered the moment a snitch move on Gunna’s part and deemed him a rat from that point forward.
Tekashi 6ix9ine was in a Florida LA Fitness and was caught by a group of individuals who put hands and feet on the beleaguered rapper who actually did tell on his co-defendants and has yet to get low for some reason we’re still not able to fathom. Tekashi was bloodied and bruised as evidenced by the footage that was released, and many on Twitter believe Gunna needs to watch his back, front, and sides.
Although folks are cracking jokes that call for the fade for the 29-year-old rapper, we don’t condone such violence over here. That said, we’re here to report the news and that’s why we gathered the tweets you’re about to see below.

Atlanta rapper Gunna is facing plenty of backlash after taking a plea deal in the YSL RICO case. The latest evidence of this includes Lil Baby unfollowing him on social media.
Yeah, this is where are in Hip-Hop in 2023, but people are talking about it.
TMZ Hip Hop took note of Baby’s follow count:
First, LB has officially unfollowed the embattled rapper — as of Saturday, it appears Gunna no longer shows up as one of the 970 people Lil Baby is paying attention to on Instagram … which might seem petty, but carries weight considering he *was* following until recently.
An unfollow in 2023 is the equivalent of telling someone … I don’t wanna be your friend anymore. That’s where things seem to be between LB and Gunna, which is a big deal — these two have been incredibly close for years. They put out a mixtape together once, and have rapped on each other’s songs back and forth … plus, they’re both from Atlanta.
As for Durk, he took aim at Gunna in a new unnamed song that made its way on to social media.
While Gunna has maintained that he didn’t agree to talk to secure his freedom, plenty in the Hip-Hop community, including members of YSL, see things differently. However, any commentary from Tekashi 6ix9ine shouldn’t be taken seriously off g.p.

Gunna is officially a free man but unfortunately for him it came with a great price, being labeled a snitch out on these Hip-Hop streets.
While Hip-Hop’s most infamous snitch ever, Tekashi 6ix9ine proudly wears his “Henry Hill” badge on his chest, Gunna’s lawyer is denying his client is anywhere near the same vicinity as the “Gummo” rapper. But 6ix9ine and Wack 100 disagree and are taking Gunna to task for “tattle telling” on his YSL family.
According to TMZ, DJ Akademiks got the ball rolling by DMing Gunna’s lawyer, Steven Sadow and asking him to clarify his position that Gunna isn’t a snitch. Sadow explained that Gunna’s plea deal wouldn’t affect anyone other than Gunna himself and that “Out of court statements at a plea hearing cannot come into evidence against someone else.”
The night before, Akademiks chopped it up with OG snitch Tekashi 6ix9ine who went in on Gunna and had no problem calling him a rat. He even said that Gunna looks “worse” than he did dropping dimes as he feels that Gunna turned on the people “who put him on. This is a n*gga who really put him under his wing. So there’s no reasoning to plea out. You woulda been more gangsta holding it down till ya man copped out or your man figured it out cause you wasn’t fighting no real charges.”

Even Wack 100 weighed in on the subject and he too questioned Gunna’s street standings after taking the plea writing “@akademiks Stop bro … His statements were clearly on the RECORD … And the whole “DEFENSE” was #YSL IS NOT I REPEAT IS NOT A GANG JUST A RECORD LABEL… YOU HIM OR THEM CANT REWRITE THE LAWS OF #SNITCHING. CO-OPERATION WITH THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY MAKES U A CO OPERANT WHICH EQUALS #Telling.”
Though Tekashi blatantly took the stand against his former crew and directly pointed fingers at them on multiple crimes in exchange for his own personal freedom, we still don’t know exactly how Gunna’s plea deal and cooperation with authorities will affect his YSL family. What if Young Thug is set free under similar conditions? Would he be considered a rat? Guess we’ll have to wait and see.
What do y’all think? Do y’all feel that Gunna and Tekashi 6ix9ine are one in the same? Should they make a song together for the closeted snitches of the streets? Let us know in the comment section below.

The YSL RICO case goes to trial next month and among the more than two dozen defendants, two more have come forth to enter guilty pleas. The pair joins Sergio “Gunna” Kitchens and Walter “DK” Murphy of alleged YSL members who entered plea deals.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that rapper Slimelife Shawty, real name Wunnie Lee, entered an Alford Plea, the same as Gunna, which means that he maintains his innocence while accepting that it was in his best legal interest to accept the deal. Slimelife Shawty pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act as a first offender. His 10-year sentence was commuted to one-year with time serviced and nine years of probation.
Martinez Arnold, who is a native of California, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to violate the state’s RICO act and participation in criminal street gang activity. With his plea, Arnold had five gun and drug charges dropped and is allowed to visit California to see family.
Both men were ordered to honor a curfew that runs from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. unless they are in school, working or in need of medical care.
As a result of the plea deals taken this week, YSL defendants, including Young Thug, remain ahead of the Jan. 4 jury selection with a handful of the group stating they are without legal representation.
