“The picture that is being painted of me is ugly and untrue,” rapper says, while also slamming the use of his music against him
In his note, Gunna insisted that 2022 “has been one of the best years of my life, despite this difficult situation.” Reflecting on the massive success of his music, he said, “I used my art form, my gift from God, to change my circumstance,” while also talking about using his platform to empower others and “provide for my loved ones.”in the RICO case . “As a Black Man in America, it seems as though my art is only acceptable when I’m a source of entertainment for the masses,” Gunna said.
Gunna made another reference to this in the caption accompanying his letter, which stated, “[J]ust a bed and a shower, no windows just walls. Can’t see or talk to anyone. I’m writing now and still praying everyday. I was raised to fight fire with water, even tho my country’s amendments have failed me! Protect Black Art!”
Gunna closed his letter, which was posted on his birthday, by stating, “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 a bad person. When I was free, I was good and kind to the community around me and, when I am released, I will do the same thing all over again.”
