Gunna Launches Running Club As YSL Collapses Around Young Thug

Gunna kicked off his “Wunna Run Club” on Thursday (August 28) with a clear message: health over headlines.

The rapper is stepping into the fitness world with a new initiative that promotes physical activity and community support, even as his name remains tangled in the ongoing YSL drama.

The club’s first major event, the “WUNNA RUN 5K,” is set for Wednesday (September 3, 2025) at Brooklyn’s Prospect Park.

Fans Back Gunna As YSL Controversy Continues

But while Gunna laced up his sneakers, the YSL camp was unraveling. Online chatter exploded after allegations surfaced that Young Thug had cooperated with authorities in a case involving Peewee Roscoe—despite previously branding Gunna a snitch.

The internet didn’t hold back.

“Getting in shape & being healthy > Minding your business > Doing charity work > Putting out better music than anyone talking s### about you >” one user posted.

Another added, “While them other n##### hating and on here having a rat off.”

A third chimed in, “This brother is winning on all fronts while the ‘rat’ watchers are scrambling on the other end.”

Even Gunna’s former attorney Steve Sadow weighed in, calling for an end to the back-and-forth.

“THOUGHT: Gunna is a fantastic entertainer. So is Young Thug. Let’s stop this ‘snitching’ BS and let these two world-class, phenomenal rappers move on. Their real fans should want nothing less.”
