by Benny Franklin

Gunna is one happy guy...

On Thursday, September 16, he was officially awarded his own day in South Fulton, Georgia.

The Georgia rapper was personally honored by the city’s mayor William “Bill” Edwards, who gave him a declaration recognizing his great work & achievements.

The declaration highlighted Gunna’s success as a rapper, songwriter and fashion influencer, as well as giving back to the community.

“Just like the Phoenix, rising above the ashes of adversity, Gunna is committed to giving back to the community that raised him, buffered him, sheltered him and supported him by creating Gunna’s Drip Closet and Goodr Grocery Store which is set to provide students of McNair Middle School with access to free meals, clothing and toiletries for years to come. 

Since 2018, through his Gunna Great Giveaway Foundation, Gunna has exhibited his efforts to serve the greater good, by hosting free grocery stores in the community and providing over $100,000 in gift cards to families during the pandemic and supplied thousands of families in Houston, Texas with household items after the 2021 historic winter storms.

Now, therefore, be it resolved, that the Mayor and City Council recognizes Gunna for his service to the community, applauds his outstanding contributions to the music industry, acknowledges him for setting a stellar example to the young people in our community and do hereby proclaim, Thursday, September 16, 2021 as SERGIO GIOVANNI ‘GUNNA’ KITCHEN DAY in the City of South Fulton.”

Congrats, Gunna!
