However, hundreds of hip-hop fans are refusing to support Gunna due to rumors that he attacked the head of his label Young Stoner Life, Young thug (real name Jeffery Lamar Williams). Considering Young Thug is still behind bars as he fights the YSL RICO case opposed to him, he did not make many public statements.

On the other hand, Young Thug’s father, Jeffrey Lamar Williams Sr., more affectionately known as Big Jeff, has remained vocal in the press. In an interview with YouTuber Infamous Sylvia, Big Jeff spoke out in support of Gunna, putting to rest rumors of the rapper being a snitch.

When asked what he thought of Gunna, he replied, “I like Gunna.” Shortly after viewers flooded the video’s message board to ask for clarification on claims that Gunna had dumped his son, he responded: “Let me try to help the lawyer clarify this a a little more simply. Gunna has done nothing to harm us in this matter, period.
