Atlanta rap heavyweight Gunna just made a powerful statement about the global pull of Afrobeats by enlisting three of Nigeria’s finest, Asake, Wizkid, and Burna Boy, on his latest album “The Last Wun“, which dropped Friday, August 8.
The 25-track LP, already sparking chatter as possibly Gunna’s final project under YSL Records/300 Entertainment, sees him merging his signature Southern flow with the rhythmic energy and cross-continental appeal of Nigerian music.
By tapping Asake’s street-savvy amapiano blends, Wizkid’s silky Afropop finesse, and Burna Boy’s Grammy-winning fusion of Afro-fusion and dancehall, Gunna isn’t just collaborating—he’s plugging directly into the cultural engine currently redefining global pop.
This is more than features; it’s a stamp of where Afrobeats now sits—no longer niche, but a dominant global force influencing hip hop’s top names. With Nigeria’s sound now a fixture on streaming charts, stadium tours, and Billboard rankings, Gunna’s choice reads like both a musical strategy and a nod to the genre’s takeover.
